    CAT 299D Fuel leakage code...

    Ya, that is probably is true. I looked through the parts manual to trace the fuel path and that was the only place I saw it go through the block on my engine. No, I am not replacing the high pressure lines. That seems a bit ridiculous to me. I am changing the o-rings and copy washers...

    CAT 299D Fuel leakage code...

    I normally only go about 150 hours on my oil changes, but that normally takes me 2-3 years to get to that point. For number 7, in the manual it was specifically related to the return line that only passes through about 1 inch of the corner of the cylinder head. This would really suck if...

    Understanding Injector Trim Codes?

    Unfortunately the closest Kubota dealership I have is about an hour away in Oxnard California and they will not call me back. Long story short is that I bought a used Kubota CPX 1140 (from a private seller) and tried to get some replacement parts for the rear wheel upper and lower arms. I...

    CAT 299D Fuel leakage code...

    Thank you! I do use all CAT products and recommended viscosities since I am in a warm climate and don't need to worry about those cold starting temps.

    CAT 299D Fuel leakage code...

    I do have the service manual and the original paperback manual that came with it. I also tend to forget to check it due to the infrequency of use.

    Understanding Injector Trim Codes?

    I know, but it seems like the right thing to do, and I like doing the right thing and taking care of my equipment. I want many years of trouble free operation.

    CAT 299D Fuel leakage code...

    I am going to post some CAT troubleshooting about Fuel in the oil... Probable Causes: 1. Oil Change Interval The oil should be changed at 500 hours. Perform oil sampling to ensure that fuel dilution is not flagged prior to the next 500-hour oil change interval. 2. DPF Nearing 3000 Hour...

    Yep, after my last post, I bit the bullet and ordered the other two injectors! Thanks @Nige for that. hehe!

    CAT 299D Fuel leakage code...

    I ordered all new Banjo bolts, washers, seals, and a new return line since I have it all apart anyways. I think you are right, but the CAT service guy I spoke to said that there is a chance due to the way these injectors are bathed in oil. I am guessing that fuel could get pushed back during...

    Understanding Injector Trim Codes?

    Thank you. I did in fact source these from a Kubota dealer and they were $599 each instead of $860 at the Quinn CAT dealer. I agree with you. I would love to replace all 4, but that is a hefty price. I talked to Area Diesel Service (Who tested the injectors) and tried to feel them out...

    Understanding Injector Trim Codes?

    This is a Quinn Cat Dealership. They are catering to large corporations that have lots of money and are willing to pay any price to get something repaired. For what it's worth, I happen to cross paths with a CAT service tech that was leaving work and I tried to talk to them about the...

    Understanding Injector Trim Codes?

    There are a lot of Chinese knock offs of these injectors, but I don't think I am ready to go that route. They might work, but I want someone else to try it on there engine first :)

    CAT 299D Fuel leakage code...

    That is great info! I did play around with those wires for a while but never went as far as you did. For some reason the original wire harness was pulling on those wires pretty hard and I had to cut back some zip ties and untaped things until they were no longer stressing the wires. When I...

    Understanding Injector Trim Codes?

    Hello all! For those following my other posts, I am having to replace a couple of injectors in my CAT 299D 3.8 turbo engine / Kubota V3800T. I am trying to understand the injector trim codes in order to save some money here and I hope that some of you might be able to explain a few things...

    CAT 299D Fuel leakage code...

    Absolutely! Good to know. Still trying to find a solution to installing injector trim codes. I might have the injectors back before I can figure out a solution for that.

    CAT 299D Fuel leakage code...

    I was told the valve is a complete package with the Rail now and is around 2K, which is ridiculous! @Nige What are the side effects if I just install new injectors and don't update the injector code in the engine ECU?

    Wow, that is a lot of work! I hope I don't have to do that much to clean my code!
