I know I'm running a dinosaur and do not expect much response here, but some might find this interesting. I discovered on an RV thread where someone has come up with a post HEUI pump filter system that will save your injectors from shrapnel and having to clean out the oil galley; Injection...

Late to the party but if you have fixed it, great, be interested to know what was found. Otherwise, maybe the following will help. I've been running the same 07 M2 for 11 yrs now and am at 1.53 million miles. The Allison 3000HS has never been opened up, just regular service and filters, and is...

Hope you found the fix by now, but 1st thing I thought of was a coin fell in the cig lighter : )

Tried them all over a 11 year period and have found the Link brand to be better quality, thicker material. I purchased directly from Link the Manufacturer of the suspension. Been so long ago I don't recall the price, but they will last.

"You got lucky having a C9." I suppose a little luck, glad to hear. The fleet owned trk we drove for a year, 2007, was a 3126 so I was already learning about the Cat peculiarities. We drove it for a year and it had 5.46 rears, Allison 6, so it wound up high and our fleet owner would run it what...

Sounds like your decision is made already asking what truck to buy. You've been trucking long enough to know what you are getting into. AS far as the truck, back in 2007, we went class 7, single axle, 22 dry box M2 repo w/ 75k miles w/ a Cat C9, a 335 horse mid range engine no longer available...

Sorry LDB, I have to chime in on my Cat. I know about your bad experience w/ Cat and understand, but, I went 1.3 mil on my 1st C-9 (bought as a repo in '07 w/ 75k), that's almost twice the B life. I attribute much of this to running an OPS filter extended drains and oil analysis. Any little...

....or say a goose strike takes out that rotating beacon thing on top....and how do they differentiate between a vehicle strike or a pothole or bad dip in the road that produces more then 2G's force. Lots to work out there.

Follow up, finally found my ABS problem, 2007 FL M2106. Here's what I had to start; ABS 136 SID 3 FAIL 05 (CURRENT BELOW NORMAL OR OPEN CIRCUIT) 3 5 LR wheel sensor circuit open BULK HEAD MODULE HAS “B1P ABS IGNITION” ONLY The ABS ECU is located behind driver's side kick panel. Here's what...

My 3000HS now has 1,444,000 miles, never cracked open. Shifts better then new, some slush box noises in the lower gears but has done that for about 400,000 mi.s now. New problem tho, but I'm blaming the ABS; At a steady cruise hwy speeds it will start to slip in and out of gear with the...

Last time towed I marked the slip joint with a chalk line. Learned not a good idea as the grime smeared from handling it almost completely wiped it off. I would recommend a nice indentation with a hammer and a chisel for a more permanent mark. Question I have is, how long do carrier bearings...

The problem I see with these is when your dwell time is beyond 14 hrs, and yeah, battery capacity/type. Wouldn't work with my current dwell time going on three days.

I bet the $2750 is just for the injectors. The "and" sounds to me can be replaced with "PLUS". Make sure they know to pull the plug on the oil galley on the head to sweep a magnet thru, the metal from a failed pump will end up there towards the front mostly and if not removed, and heui pump...

What Davekc sd, probably needs a heui pump. My experience with CAT C-9, similar engine, 2006 motor went 1.3 million before major oil usage a problem, went thru about 4 heui's and pieced mealed the injectors as I went along except for once did full replacement. Most pumps didn't throw much debri...

Some good information right there. My stop lights worked intermittently and became worse over time.

I used it in my wifes TransAm rack and pinion with success, but I think it is more designed for rack and pinion leaks. The steering shaft seal isn't a hard repair, an hour at most I would think. I did mine myself and took my time with it since it was the first one I've ever done, took me about 2...

They will tell you the beads and Centramatics will work against each other. What I found is the combination together was too much for the steers and only use the Centramatics up front. The Yokohama 517's, open lug, in the back are a heavier tire and with just the Centramatics and pre-balance...

I have centering lugs up front and sleeves on the drives. They do help, but, I have found even with these, sometimes the radial runnout is great enough to cause a bounce as most tires are not perfectly true. I run Michelin XZA's top of the line up front and Yokahama 517/s rr, and when bolting...

Can I buy Cat software, ET or other to install in my laptop and do things like set injector trim and read fault codes in the ECM? Where would I find such a thing?
