helo, I love ur video, so I need advice about oil low pressure problem in CAT C32 marine engine, any ideas plz where should I look , PS: the problem generated after I found that the air cooler was damaged and the sea water was penetrated in cylinders and contaminated the oil, I changed oil air cooler all fillers, the oil I'd good but I have oily low pressure thx for advice
Thanks for the video and info about tool brand comparison, oil pan, etc. Very helpful and informative. Destruction of the week always interesting too. 👍
Is there an affordable scan tool for a cat c7 that will do the forced dof regen etc. i have only one vehicle?
@@cintronf12 I don't know. I'm thinking you wanted to ask Josh.
People say there is no difference in a Cat filter and other filters haven’t watched your video on filters. My policy is if it don’t say cat it don’t touch my motor I even switched my FASS system to cat filters. After spending 25,000 on a Platinum rebuild why chance it. Keep up the videos enjoy watching and learning more about Cat motors.
Great video, like all of your's, seeing a typical day reminds me why I retired a year and half ago, They need to put you into the CAT Trainer program, you're a natural.
Excellent video Josh! I have seen all of yours and you do a stellar job narrating. Thanks for the quality content
Appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching.
Amazing that motor even ran with excessive valve clearance and the bent push rod
that extractor claw thing looks like the total recall tool that arnold used to take out the tracking device lol
You have given me an idea for my next Arnold clip.
Amazing the engine ran with the valves that demed up. Stay safe.
I love it when you put movies sees
Another great men’s novel.
I start to work with truck when I was 14/15 years old back in Brazil.
When I moved to USA, start to work with cars and for the last 5 years I’ve been work with trucks and I Like it a lot, It’s dirty, Heavy, but the payment worthwhile at the end of week.
I learned a lot with your channel, because electronic engine wasn’t popular in Brazil back in 2009(I remember when Mercedes start to make 1622 electronic and ppl saying that Electronic engine wasn’t strong as mechanical), and I still learning.
Great Channel hope you keep it for long years.
Best regards from Daniel Montuam(MA)
5:53 Best of luck to you RT. That little clip is one of my favorites. It can be taken so many ways.
I've always a extra little hand for that kinda thing with a bolt in a hard place for yrs. It helps at times. Thank you.
Enjoying these "A day with.." vids! More realistic compared with other repair/diag videos; keep up the good work

After seeing the huge catch pan, I just had the thought of using a 250 gal. chemical container, (like those mounted on a steel pallet with a metal cage around it). Completely remove the cage and leave a few inches of the plastic container (with the ball valve) for the catch pan. This would easily fit under a truck, & when finished simply lift it up with pallet forks and use the valve to empty the liquids into another container for disposal
Pro tip on the injection pump oil line nut removal? When the engine has an air compressor, tie a plastic zippy tie around the pipe under the nut before you take the fitting off of the end of the pipe. Now the nut won't rattle it's way down the pipe and disappear behind the air compressor where you get to fish it out. Great video Josh! I'm with you on the pump and a lot of Caterpillar parts. Why can't Cat offer up the o-ring seals, gaskets, hoses and clamps for their parts to install the parts back is beyond me. Instead you have to order all the extra parts as extra! I had to replace an Exhaust gas cooler on a International engine a while back and when the new part arrived, packed inside the box was everything that you needed to install the cooler! What a concept! All the seals, and even the coolant supply hoses was included!
Its always fun trying to find drivability issues reported by other people. Years ago my brother had a misfire/hesitation issue on a Peugeot 106 (a small European car with a 1.1 engine). I couldn't replicate the fault, and neither could my dad at first. He then had a brainwave and started mashing the accelerator like an inexperienced driver, that showed up the hesitation under harsh acceleration that we were subconsciously avoiding. Turns out it was the idle control/throttle position unit. One junkyard TBI unit later and it was happy!
I appreciate your efforts. I have an ongoing power loss and hot start issue on my C7 and I feel eventually I will find the right fix here..
You have a lot of patience !!
That's a difficult problem to diagnose. I know you will solve it ! Great job 👍🏽
I want to let you know that I've been driving truck for 8 years and a month ago I bought my own rig. W900L with a C-15. I've only ran cummins my entire driving career. I have to say I have absorbed and learned so much regarding CAT from your channel. You mentioned non-cat filters.. Just want to let you know that you will be pleased that I use CAT filters all the way around.
Thank you for pumping out quality and informational videos regarding CAT and the overall diesel life.
I always sucks when a good guy leaves the shop good work 👍
A Manuel bruce jenner bus!!! That’s mint!!!! 👌
And the drip pans made by peg?
You’re a beast bro keep the videos up
iv got a huge pan kinda a rubery plastic like that but its from a farm/fleet store i think it was originally intended for feed or something but they work great.
I am really enjoying...
Heat is a major factor with electrical problems and when bad connections get hot the resistance rises causes the problem.
The snap/on wrenches use flank drive which makes a huge difference in the gripping ability. Even the harbor freight icon wrenches knocked off the flank drive design.
Very informative
That cat wrench actually appears to be a Williams super-combo wrench
Thanks for showing your
Had a cutting out issue on my 2003 KW 900 with a C15, found the crank sensor wire right behind the damper had eroded down to a single strand of wire, the truck was 11 years old at the time, guessing just the years of debris coming in through the grill and bumper gap just ate away at it
Thanks Josh were in lockdown again in Melbourne sad times so stay safe buddy 🦘🇦🇺👍
great video mr.josh
I love you blog
I once pulled the oil pan on a running NTC big cam for a bearing roll and found 4 banana shaped push rods. The customer swore the engine was never apart before.
The intermittent throttle loss is more than likely a bad TPS. Drove me nuts for a week until one time it happened. Just a little wear on the pedal hinge pin caused a side load sometimes. Save yourself a comeback and rebuild the whole pedal assembly instead of just the sensor.
Another great video man👍👍... And a nice Arnold bit from predator...😆👍... The other ones from Commando work perfectly...any Arnold line will
Thanks for sharing this video idol
good cat video.
The CAT oil dipstick handle looks oddly familiar to some older Ford ones.
@Homer Simpson My 97F250 with a 7.3 aka International T444E has the same dipstick handle.
1999 F150 had the same dipstick as well. Might be the same vendor that supplied them.
superb!!!! Also time to time please continue Diesel Engines 101 Sessions as well. Do some diagnostics in Excavators, Dozers and Wheeled Loaders as well. Really appreciate your efforts you have given on bringing the videos.
Damn, y'all got a big yard. Ours is so small that sometimes the drivers dropping off equipment have to back out instead of pulling a u-turn.
I have a C -15. On the left side where all the wires are under the plastic covers. Had 2, one on each group that were wore pretty bad. Only a couple of strands or so still connected. Reason I was troubleshooting( its my truck, was just trying to stay out of the shop..sorry) was the engine would falter when accelerating. Wouldn't do it all the time. I replaced the foot pedal position sensor thinking that was it, but that was in vain.
ALWAYS BOUGHT SEARS WRENCHES BECAUSE SNAP-ON WRENCHES ARE GREAT BUT THIN, WOULD BRUISE MY PALM PULLING REAL HARD AND UNDER REAL HARD PULLING WOULD "OPEN UP" A LITTLE.
(I MEANT CRAFTSMAN) AND A HELL OF A LOT CHEAPER
That's cool.
wow at the end of the flick
👍👍👍
The pushrod looks like it was made by Dole. The other yellow company. 🤣🤣
I hate intermittent problems like the C13 cutting out. Customer gets mad since they have to come back, but it’s hard to fix something that’s not broken at the time you look at.
I have the pushrod still on my toolbox, even though they took the truck. There was another truck in the shop with a 3406E, dropped valve and still running. My supervisor was running it to air it up and the valve spring was sitting on the passenger seat. Something doesn't seem right here.
@@AdeptApe I worked on a Mercedes V8 diesel engine in the early 90s that dropped a valve and pounded it right back into the head in a new location. They had single heads at the time. We just pulled bolts for intake and exhaust manifold and lifted the head off. Piston was fine. New head and gasket and of it went. I miss the Mercedes, MAN, MWM and Deutz engines with the individual heads.
Those are Williams Super Combo wrenches. Made in the USA and very good wrenches for the money.
They're called yellow canaries ,not school bus after the paint color name was told this long ago thanks for posting
I bought this wireless micro camera. Wow does it work well for looking into the cylinder etc. Plus it got a magnet on it. So that you can find that %$#* part that fell into the engine.
That oil pan is just what I need. Oil always seems to find a way to miss the pan.
Throttle position, or crank and cam position sensor. The problem is electronics on trucks are cheap and way to expensive. I have Cummins and once in a blue moon, it still has a fit. Hit resume and she goes. I've heard of broke wire between ecm and Throttle position sensor. A kenworth issue
i work for a generator company and we use perkins 2800 like that
Love your videos. I was wondering what some common causes of excessive smoke coming out the breather tube on a 3116?
💐💐💐
😎👍
Could it be needing a load. I had crank or cam sensor Bae one time. Goodness while it real ized all ok. The hiccup would give fits to the hard pull. Easy fix it was aggravating
the Cat wrench is a rebranded Williams super combo wrench
I bought a EL240B cat excavator in the mid 90s and it had a 3116 engine. When I picked it up it wasn’t r
Running right. The push rod for the injector on one of the cylinders had fallen out of the rocker arm. It just had to be put back in place and it never gave me any more problems. The only other problem I ever had with that engine was it started to dump fuel into the cooling system. One of the injector cups was leaking so the head had to be replaced.
Does the ECM record any data or is it possible to record that information to examine at a later time? Seems like that would take care of a lot of troubleshooting and guess work. Always good to jobsite love between men that respect each other. The finger of true friendship !
the ecm will record snap shots if the driver knows how to record them. Using the cruise switch
3116 over rpm will cause those issues. Had a bunch of those gutless engines in wreckers and I’ll stress gutless.
Corrosion on connectors is often where electrical problems happen.
I had a problem that would only pop up when the mechanic wasn’t around it ended up being the battery cables to the Ecm connection had to be repaired
I had the exact same problem on mine. ECM wire coming off battery was bouncing and shorting out on battery brace holder.
I love you
OUCH .... Could almost play horseshoes with them push rods !
I have a 3406B it has leak at the pump where the injector line connects coming from around the nipple on the pump how hard is that to fix that leak
c13 needs a 1212 filter on the frame, its running out of fuel in a hard pull
I’m looking at buying an older truck with a C 12 engine. Is that engine any good for reliability or is it a piece of junk. I’ve had several 3406 engines and I love them.
Another very enjoyable video. Thank you.
I was wondering if you can answer a question i have i would like to know if running Engine Restore in a 3116 MUI pump engine will hurt the engine like a HEUI pump 3126? & thanks for all the awesome videos I've learned a lot watching your channel & im guessing your not a fan of that product but id still like your expertise.
"catus maximus"! brods? 👍
5:53 That is my favourite type of people.
😎🍻
First!
1992cat 3406m it runs hot 200-205
I need advice on amachine cat325cl hydraulic overheathing. I have checked the return by bass,the hydraulic cooler and checked the fan motor pressure but can't find the problem.the serial number is csj
How hard was it to get it started after installation
Look at the fuel pedal and connecting?
My day in the life... Another under carraige... Yay....
What symptoms prompted the hpop replacement?
Pretty dumb how the pump doesn't come with new seals. Just add them and jack up the price, saves the issues of "we have the pump in stock, but don't have the seals to do the job".
What's wrong with aftermarket filters? Wix makes great filters. Just curious on your opinion.
I have c13 it cannot go 60 and odometer not working yellow check engine is on same times blinking
Homage to RT .... Thanks
I got a c3.4bcat does the injection pump need timming
do you not have a test ecm to allow you to try it
But it starts up with starting fluid
Hey Adept ape im a new subscriber. I purchased LMTV 6X6 with cat 3116.Has anyone else experienced this with Cat 3116 engine.
I found water in oil and replaced it and filters. #5#6 injectors were no good and both injector pushrods were damaged.
Now it starts and smokes grey/white but runs poorly i think other injectors are bleeding down,because it looses prime? at idle if i snap throttle i get nothing
but if i pump the primer then snap throttle it revs up and accelerates.
the odom has only 2500 and its a 1997 model,i don't want to assume head gasket?
Have a 3126b new ecm new IPR new heui no start no 830psi at head no communication with ECM all pins 12v and ground to ECM..
Any ideas?
Runs on either.
Tach moves when cranking.
No o rings on injectors leaking.
In a RV Freightliner chassis.
CAT scanner won't communicate CAT just flashed rebuilt ECM.
Any ideas?
Only 40k miles ran perfect .no start one day no output to injectors.
Rename it to 3126 heui pump removal and get way more views.
I'm assuming that the Solenoid Valve is the standard Cat 122-5053? In which case it's the same Solenoid Valve that is used in the Ford Powerstroke 7.3L V8 Diesel and the Isuzu 4JX1 straight 4 Diesel engines that also use stock HEUI pumps? What do you do with those old Solenoid Valves every time that you change a HEUI pump? I'd be happy to take them off your hands...if you don't ever bother reusing them?
Do you feel that "non cat filters" are a problem or cause problems?
He once had a truck in his shop with low oil pressure, and it had a Donaldson filter that had basically imploded and sent debris into the engine.
What would cause my 3126 to not start when cold after sitting overnight
@@badgerpa9 it cranks but won’t start Unless I use starting fluid and then it runs like crap
probably the oil in the HEUI system draining down, and with it being cold the oil is thicker and it is struggling to provide HP oil to fire the injectors, or the main oil pump is struggling to provide the HP pump with oil.
we have a farm truck that has an International 466 which is also a HEUI that does the same thing, we stick a magnetic heater to the oil pan and plug it in along with the block heater, otherwise it is almost impossible to start at -20C
Only cat filters on my 3406b. Don't look right with the others
is here some place i can ask a question about my c7 , i will pay for for time
😂🤣🤣...chin up RT
Hello, I have a problem with the engines of my marine vehicle, I have 2 caterpillar engines C9 576 horsepower, a total of 1152 horsepower, the problem I have is because my engines do not pull, do you think they may have problems with the pump oil and injectors, thanking I expect an answer, thank you 👍
What engine is this
If you see this I would like to ask some questions about a truck I just bought.
Best advice I can give. Don't buy anything Cat!! Maybe 50 years ago ,but not now.
