That height reduction for step trailer is relatively easy to do, not easy enough / quick enough to expect trucker to do it if youre not there, but if youre there to assist w pickup, thats a different deal potentially...is supposed to be 30 min job for two experienced people, so double or triple...

Very very interesting, about the extended ram battery life, ill have to be thinking about / looking into that more down the road. As for the 220-4352, my first guess (bit of a shot in the dark here) but i wonder if its a low NOx emission file? I know cat had updated flash files for lots of...

Ive heard the same RE 9SM and 505hp factory tune... that it has all the critical parts necessary for the re-rate. Unlike earlier trucks like the 9 and 8 series 5tons, the gov't didnt spec out the weakest version of the engines (weak in terms of hp output and also in ability to turn up power wo...

Awesome! I took a quick glance at the govplanet writeup, having complete cab + running engine id say you did very well :) I just LOCVE these trucks. Theyre amazing. I work on class 6, 7 trucks everyday (mostly garbage trucks / rolloff trucks in the 30 to 50k GVWR range), and the people im...

Yes, just got that done a couple days ago. I pulled valve cover, got trim values off injectors, programmed them in. I did make one last attempt to pull codes off the old ecm, just in case it worked (didnt). Also, got 2nd version of cat ET, 2024A. I didnt NEED the version change i dont...

Got truck running! Runs great (like she used to). Fired instantly (and she hasn't run for a month at least). She always started super easy, super quick in the past, glad thats back! (versus no start at all) Btw, I used cat et 2011B (its what I had easiest access to). Seemed to work fine...

348-2377, the factory original part number. Supposed to be all brand new / made in USA / not rebuilt or remanned in any way, just sealed in factory box Was 3K. My thinking was, unless something really fucks up / i **** something up, I should get a good decade of use out of it... I liked the...

GoECM checked out my old ecm, said it was fried / unrepairable. Said it wouldnt communicate w their tool, they opened up and found bad processor, maybe some other things. I asked them about getting rebuilt one, they said no, didnt have one. They showed several compatible part#s as being in...

Oh, one other thing - dont automatically trust the voltage gauge is reading correctly. I'd use a DMM to double check the voltage getting fed to it. Might have just bad gauge. That might be FIRST thing id do next time shes running, only take a few minutes, could save hours of checking /...

I cant speak directly to the grinding issues, but first thought would be misalignment of some kind. Maybe (and this is just a wild maybe here), loosening the bolts that hold starter on and wiggling it around a little might let it find slightly different position? Shot in the dark, but doesn't...

+1 would be good to see, have

Another thumbs up on Nate / swatmod. Good guy. Met him just the other day. Hauled some parts for him that he had gotten from someone near me, picked up some parts from him (all MTVR stuff). Ive probably seen this truck in person, but didnt spend any time looking at it in detail, just in passing

MTVR military manuals werent printed for the most part, instead was software loaded onto maintenance laptops. Basically all of it is still classified. I hear there are copies out there in the wild, but not easy to come by, not going to find copies online, there are dire warnings all over that...

Pm sent, thanks!!

Well, have cat et now, and a comm adapter 3 (CA3). Took some hassle getting everything installed / operational. Had big problem with connector adapter plug that goes between the CA3 cat 9pin and the j1939 plug, first one i got just DID NOT WORK (was cheap one i got off amazon, partly bc it...

Thanks for the replies guys, its very helpful :) Good avice on copying the current config file, copying down the injector trim #s too :)

Thanks for the info. I was suspecting an "A" version might be needed. Really hard to figure out what to do when it comes to (relatively) rare vehicles like these

I should have worded my question just a bit differently, I'm less concerned with the number of the version, and more with the last letter. In my research on this, it seems like "A" suffix cat ET is for offroad equipment (earthmovers and such), I think maybe agricultural too, while "C" is for...

Btw, thought id add that the part number for the ECM is 348-2377. Im having issues w my MTVR, 03 Mk25, I think the ecm has gone out... so have been researching this subject a lot over past few days. Took me a while to figure out correct ecm part #... which turns out to be printed on side of it...

What version of Cat ET is needed to work w our trucks (MTVRs)?? To scan/test/reflash? Would 2019c work?? Im having trouble w my 03 Mk25, i think the engine ECM lost its memory (went to start it the other day, it just cranked and cranked, it had sat for 2 weeks or so, hadnt done anything to it...
