    299D2 not used through winter

    Everywhere I turn I read more horror stories about DEF system failure. My understanding is that this 2018 299D2 purges the DEF lines when engine is shut down. Is there anything else I should do across 3 months of non use? Kind of related topic. Any news or observations about relaxing regs on...

    299d2 losing coolant

    Haven’t popped the cab yet but I am losing significant amounts of coolant. No blown head gasket. Nothing in the oil. I suspect something in lines to and from heater. Before I dive in just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue? Fittings? Hoses? No real puddle under it so I suspect...

    Cat 299D2 350-3 code

    My machine started throwing this code intermittently. I couldn’t pin it down. I finally decided to check the connector for the sensor switch on the boom. I found the link for the sensor missing and the switch arm was moving around randomly causing it to throw the codes. Just a heads up if you...

    Cat299d2 HP fuel pump change

    Thought I would share this with the group. Thanks to Nige, ozarkag and Alex at aristotrucktech for the support. My machine was not achieving the fuel pressure needed to fire the injectors so I had a crank/no start. The culprit ended up being a broken SCV spring. Not available as a replacement...

    Priming Perkins 3cyl diesel

    Working on another problem child. I have a zero turn with a 28hp “Cat” 3 cyl. It’s actually a Perkins. I am having trouble finding anything on it online. It began to surge.

    CT322 sticks out of alignment

    Had the cab up to replace a hydraulic hose. Got everything buttoned back up but noticed the control sticks are out of alignment. If you thought about them as hands on a clock they are about 60 minutes out. Any ideas?
