    Got one for ya!

    Purchased a 09 Prostar Eagle with a C15 CAT in it, 13 speed Eaton. I'm replacing my truck with this. The one I purchased was hauled to my house, wife went out and started it up. After 12 minutes of idle the buzzer goes off and it shows no oil PSI. She shut it off and started it back up, all is well.
    I canceled my current haul for something going to the house, any way I can fix this? She put it in gear to take it to a shop and it died out after 8 feet. I can get a tow truck out there for free. My neighbor agreed to tow it to the dealer to be looked at, when I get there.

    P.S- This one is going back to the parking lot, done deal. Heavy-D can't solve this no one can. ;D

    LOL, maybe it's something your wife did! Can't help you with that! Just kidding. If you have Prostar with any Cat engine, those engines are all prototype, test engines. We never got any training on them. They were put in the trucks as a test platform. Not too many of them out there. This was right when Cat stopped supplying truck engines. Like I said, rare! Best to go straight to a Cat dealer!

    Thanks Heavy, test engine, eh? Right when they stopped making engines, CAT just screwed all Prostar owners.

    Fixed! When they put the fuel coolers on they loosened the line for the oil, the engine wasn't getting enough. The Plus has been turned, got some decent money from it and the warranty carried over.
