    Cat 3116 running vmo

    How much do you actually drive your truck? If you cant afford the diesel fuel, buy a VW. At $400 a piece,approx, for each injector. Plus 8 hrs labor @ $100 an hour. Not taking into account possible reaming/replacement/coining of injector coppers if needed. I would stick to running fuel of good...

    Need help with a Deutz diesel

    The reason manufactures mount filters upside down is so people dont pre-fill and contaminate the system. Install dry and pump it full, I will agree sometimes it sucks. But your fuel system will live longer. That little screen has caused a fair amount of grief for a number of people. Glad...

    Need help with a Deutz diesel

    If the lift pump has a round stamped steel cover held down with a 1/4 inch screw, remove it. Some have a flat brass screen underneath which are usually neglected. Just a thought.

    My new M220 soon to be camper

    Definitely a clean unit. I used to drool over that rig when it still belonged to the local county search and rescue. It sat under a roof all the time so it was in dry storage the last 30 yrs or more. Good Buy!

    M35A3 execessive blowby and blue smoke on decel

    3116's have no sleeves from new. when you rebuild one, the block is bored and sleeved back to standard. this is done with a torque plate bolted on the deck so the block is stressed properly. If this is not done, bad crap happens when the engine goes back to work. Is your blowby a puff or a...

    Filters for m35a3

    You should spend a whole day finding the best deal on the most obscure off brand filter made in China or prehaps a floating barge off the coast of Sri Lanka. Hopefully they will use only the finest ground waterbuffalo dung as filter media. Or,stop by your local Cat dealer and get the right...
