Happy, Happy and a Merry Merry to all!
I have a cat 3126B it has 525,000+ miles in it. It doesn't burn oil but will dump a 1/4 to a 1/2 cup of oil out the breather tube while warming it up. It also acts like it has lost it's prime when it if started after sitting for 6 or so hours.
It also seems to loose power when it gets above 210 deg. I was getting 9 miles to the gal but over the last 30 days I have dropped down into the 8's. I talked to Alumibunk and was told a common problem with the HUEI injector system is the o-rngs going bad. (I also read that dirty oil will cause this and other issues.)
I have gotten ICU-140 errors and diag 1 errors which I was told is an issue with cyl #1 (thats the diag 1 error).
Any thoughts experiances, or ideas anyone can pass on to me. I'm going to take it to Freightline in Knoxville this week. (Let me know if I need to know anything about them too )
Best wishes to all!!!
