    Cab Tilt Cylinder

    Is this kit bolt on using existing holes or is there drilling involved? Do you need access to the interior of the cab during installation? Door open with cab tilted?

    CAT HEUI issues, failures and fixes

    My recent encounter with the HEUI pump failing. Early signs were, steady on the throttle and an occasional increase of RPM for just a fraction of a second like a blip. Driving it the next 2 days it became more noticeable and more often till it through a check engine light and a code. After...
