this is a very good and instructional video. i really love your channel. please can you make a video on how to connect the jumper to the ECM. Please can you also tell us what cables to use as jumper cables. some of us we love doing the bench testing. thanks.
Thank you so much for all your videos! I am your subscriber from Russia. I consider you to be one of my teachers in diesel engines! I buy engines from auctions in US Florida and sell them here in Russia. And your lessons really helped me when I just started all that ))
Damn. I just got the problem of TIPSS and the ecm connectors and you solve it so easy with 1 click. Haha. Wish that I could have watched this sooner. Love your content, very infomative and fun to watch. Keep up the good work man. Is there anyway to contact you for work consultant? I'm from ASEAN so I think I might need your help online as there is no engineer in my place can fix those problems I have.
Excelente video , you are a great technician, I have done this before but didn’t fully understand before, if I can ask you a question will be about that flash file to clean the ECM and when it’s necessary to do it Thank you for share your knowledge whit us
Is it possible to set the year back within the ecm? To avoid ELD laws I’ve heard of guys having the ecm changed to show 1999 vs any older date. Is this possible?
It’s was great video . I have question if I put new ecm on my machine is it gonna show 0 hours on display ? do I have to contact dealer to reset hour to original hours and programmed Thanks
Hi! I'm trying to reprogram a MSX40348 Twin Turbo to run off of a Single Turbo. Having issues trying to upload a Timing Parameter xml into the ECM. Was wondering if there was a way I could reach you and ask for you advice/assistance. Thank you.
I have a question for you Josh, if someone got your timing calibration, or fts or fls messed up could it cause a truck to start burning oil. I had a ecm go flag and right after I started using oil. Thanks
Can I copy my ecm file using copy config on to my laptop desktop and upload the same file to my friends truck of same year and model. Do you recommend me to save my ecm program to laptop regardless
Is it possible to copy a program from an ecm to my laptop for future use? A buddy of mine has a 7cz and i want to copy the program to my computer and am unsure how to do that.
Congratulations friend for the videos! I wonder how much is costing a cat 3 communicator out there. Here in Brazil is very expensive. and I already work for a while with heavy machines electronics but I don't have the cat communicator. even a used server served me.
Hi sir... I have 400kw electronic perkinz diesel generator the engine has cat ecm... The problem when you start the engine every thing ok when the engine worm up it start vibrat..
hey buddy, how r u? i wish u the best for all your helps i have a problem, i have an engine which its ecm needs to be flashed and programmed again, but unfortunately the engine does not have any id and i just guess it is 3406e. now the current ecm communicates with adapter but as someday was changed with someone and not correctly programmed, it does not show any serial no and maybe that is the reason the engine does not start. finally i want to know that is there any way or method to get the ESN of an engine by not counting on id plate or ecm info??? because i need to get the correct flash file and program the ecm well. my best regards
aloha adept ape , i have a morbark 2006 model blizzard12 w a caterpillar eng 3054c/e type 2 this eng has 3 settings for the rpms and the high setting is revving at 2550 rpm. its seems high and i am inquiring of how to lower the rpms to 2000-2400. any advise ?
Hello! Hey, do you have any tutorial about the customer version of the software for a CAT Scan ET Caterpillar, how to install it, download it or buy it? Cheers!
I am having a head scratcher problem, I do all these steps, get the same starup communicating messages in this video, ATA then CDL, the j1704 light flashes but yet it always comes back with no ecm detected. I know this can't be right cause my 3126b starts and runs just fine??
Good morning there. I was just reading some of the comments I bet you can sit on the computer ALL DAY answering questions...! ANOTHER great video I will get back with the Vin I'm not at my truck yet...TY
I just wanted to mention I called Triple-T they told me I've got to install one on the passenger side behind the oil cooler there's a plug unscrew it and screw the other one in... I was just letting you know what I found out or I can put a block heater on it. I am being told it's not a bad job to install that plug not hard at all...? 1500 watt plug.. 1fuja6av37w93940
Good morning Josh Friday day after Thanksgiving anyway hope you had a good 1...... I just wanted to see if you would look up this part # 3500111 engine heater cat 15 and see what you think..? & how difficult to install I cannot find not one single video on it.... sorta unbelievable...THANKS
Got a REALLY left field question here... Would there be any possibility at all of taking a direct injection CAT 3408 and modifying it to be an electronic engine. For example,... using electronic injectors from a 3406E or later electronic engine? I'm sure there would have to be custom heads in order to fit 3406E or later injectors into a 3408,.... and then there is the entire ECU problem. But what about going with a stand alone aftermarket ECU? Just throwing around some crazy ideas. The 3408 is such an awesome engine and I want to put one in a Peterbilt,... but would like to get best performance and fuel mileage with newer electronic technology. Any thoughts, comments, etc. would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks Cyrus
I have a 2001 Kenworth t800 c12 ycpxm0729erk engine#2ks49050, I have installed a 2007 c12 BCY-00138 family 5cpxl12.0esk (military surplus engine) generator engine my questions #1 is there a program out there for this conversion. Question #2 what is the difference between the two engines other than voltages the ypc(445hp) hp and variable speed and the BCY is 515hp and wants constant speed (RPM) and turbo, is the camshaft the only difference or is the crankshaft and stroke different. I did had a local guy program the BCY (ECM) it does run and idles fine but when driving there is a few spots that the engine sputters then puffs out big cloud out the exhaust pipe (fuel) I can feather the throttle out but I want to fix. Any ideas to help. I think its the camshaft and timing issue in programming, Would you know if its just the way the camshaft was designed for constant RMP. and /or think that if I change to a truck camshaft and ECM that it will work with the crankshaft and stroke of the BCY engine and/or the injectors need to be changed .I really enjoy your videos and thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience cheers
Love the video. I would like to copy of the files. As back ups for the fleet. familiar with Detroit software, but not with cat ET. Any videos on days will be appreciate it. checking on pin setting.
wat is a good mxs file to download i hav access to sis but i got stock engine i think its a 625 but not sure i hav ti check but id like a littkle more power if possible
does reflashing an ECM damage it in any way. I have a BXS engine that had the double turbo and was converted to single turbo the ACERT was removed all prior to me purchasing this truck. i now had to purchase a new ecm and when the mechanic reprogrammed we now have the check engine light and three codes which are due to the ACERT being removed. I have a guy that can put a new program that will remove the codes but I would like to know if reflashing will damage my new ECM
Back in 1996 had a new KW doing the second oil change, around 20k miles, did the service started engine ran for leaks shut truck off, went into the office to pay the bill come back to truck check oil level go to start truck to back out of the shop engine wouldn't start, the ecm died that fast
Hi mr. Josh, I had a question, what do you say about that whenever I want to test cylinder cutout on one of my engines, it is aborted automatically. I tried at different times and watched the loads on my engine, but its unreasonable because I had no change in loads My best regards
Great video thank you for all your help allways Got a quick .question I have a 97 kenworth with a 3126 We did a covertion from 390 rear end to 358 teams end. And now my truck won’t t go over 60 Do I have to take it to get program ??
No you have to take it with someone who has a tool that can connect to the ECM and reprogram the PPM. PPM = Number of chopper teeth on transmission X Axle Ratio X Tire REVS per mile.
You have to change the dip switches behind the speedometer so it reads correctly. Then update your PPM in the ECM so the data is stored correctly there.
Nice video Engr I need to program an ECM of caterpillar D6 dozer with engine S/N 8tm01202. Pls What will it take for you to remote program the ECM for me? Best regards.
My CAT ET3 Tool can not able to diagnose EST perkin power wizard controller and ET caterpillar EMCP controller For CAT software ET can not able to Diagnose *EMCP* Module of Caterpillar. PERKIN SOFTWARE EST is also can not able to *Power wizard* module. Both have same Errors *Unable to communicate with an ECM*
Most of the time you have a bad connection on the IVA solenoid. You can buy a harness or a splice. The splice rarely holds. I usually take the splice (if I use one) take it apart and use the plastic connector. I take the connector on the engine and remove the plastic connector and spread the connection to get the fit tighter. I put the new connector onto the harness and feel if its snug.
Pre emissions isx i have been told are million mile engines, have have a few that have been deleted that have over 600k on them now in newer peterbilts with very few issues

Yes - there are companies out there that will repair your damaged ECM and flash the ECM with the original and/or updated (higher HP rating) if you want that done too. As with all electronic repairs, the success rate is all dependent on the company doing the repair and going with the cheapest place usually ends up with a poor experience.
Man I wish you were my neighbor! This stuff is way over my head but I'm trying to watch as much as I can related to the Cat 300 in my 2006 motorhome.
Thanks for all passing on all your experience, you seem to always break it down that I can follow
Medicineman howdy glad to see you again have a great Thanksgiving with family love what you share with us all 😉
Very good thank you very much, more technical videos on reflashing and reprogramming please for those of us who are just learning
like your videos, you finally gave away what dealer you work for. I work in a cat engine/fuel/machine shop.
Any hints as to what dealer or whatever he's at?
That takes me back, wish I saved the old cd's that we use to use for flashing, before the Nox files came out.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of ET software.
Factory passwords are not the problem for me, thanks for sharing this great experience!
Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge always interesting to watch ,learning all the time 👍👍
Thanks for watching even the "boring" vids.
Best tutorial ever on win flash cat ECM

Hello, I have a C9 adem A4( on a generator) running @1500RPM (50Hz) I need to change the speed to 1800RPM (60Hz). How can I do it?
I have a question for you Josh, if someone got your timing calibration, or fts or fls messed up could it cause a truck to start burning oil. I had a ecm go flag and right after I started using oil. Thanks
What is the part number of the tool to communicate the interface with the module removed from the engine?
As always , some great content.
You keep up the good videos and u will one day quit the day job and collect CZcams money.
That would be nice, but I like my job and if I quit I wouldn't be able to do many of my videos.
will the cat com adapter communicate with other engine manufactures or is it just for cat software
Can I copy my ecm file using copy config on to my laptop desktop and upload the same file to my friends truck of same year and model. Do you recommend me to save my ecm program to laptop regardless
Is it possible to copy a program from an ecm to my laptop for future use? A buddy of mine has a 7cz and i want to copy the program to my computer and am unsure how to do that.
You are the best, great video man

Good for you friend
can you send for me the schematic to make wiring between ecm and cat adapter 3 to test ecm at home
You can also get the fls fts off the data plate if you cannot access sis
Plz show us the ecm bench test harness..

"ECM Kings" in Texas know their stuff! Check'em out👍
I have a c 12 with no jakes on it. Do I need to have the ecm reflashed afterwards? Or will they operate without an ecm flash.
I take it you added engine brakes?

I need to program an ECM of caterpillar D6 dozer with engine S/N 8tm01202. Pls What will it take for you to remote program the ECM for me?
Best regards.
My CAT ET3 Tool can not able to diagnose EST perkin power wizard controller and ET caterpillar EMCP controller
For CAT software ET can not able to Diagnose *EMCP* Module of Caterpillar.
PERKIN SOFTWARE EST is also can not able to *Power wizard* module.
Both have same Errors
*Unable to communicate with an ECM*
Is it possible to flash in this situation if ET does not communicate with ECM? pl,ease help me...
No, the ECM must communicate in order for it to be flashed. On the 40 pin ECMs you have to go to Winflash first.
Hey you could hire on as cat man with drilling companies and they send you to repair and overhaul there engines. They pay big big money.
how can i get sis web access user ?

Can anyone help me out about check engine light ECU 128 PID 289 fail 05 I have 2009 freightliner Columbia with C-15
Most of the time you have a bad connection on the IVA solenoid. You can buy a harness or a splice. The splice rarely holds. I usually take the splice (if I use one) take it apart and use the plastic connector. I take the connector on the engine and remove the plastic connector and spread the connection to get the fit tighter. I put the new connector onto the harness and feel if its snug.
John Goldsmith thanks I’ll try
Hello bro .i need ET software can you help me acquire one .

Any opinions on pre emissions Cummins ISX? was thinking about buying a truck with one in it.
He is a cat mechanic, so doesn't comment on (at least that I have seen) on questions related to other types of engines.

Guys are making huge money in New Zealand doing ECU reprogramming and deletes of egr, and DPF DEF systems. Most charge $1300 for ECU reprogram on most makes and models.
Can you provide detail of the same
Smart hiding your activation number. So is this video actually old or have you just not updated to the latest version of CAT ET??
Our dealership always uses a few versions older on ET, not sure why, but I just use what they give me.
My ECM is not connecting with ET ,so that I can flash
I wonder if you can repair the computer on a component level if that's the issue.
Yes - there are companies out there that will repair your damaged ECM and flash the ECM with the original and/or updated (higher HP rating) if you want that done too. As with all electronic repairs, the success rate is all dependent on the company doing the repair and going with the cheapest place usually ends up with a poor experience.
