    Crazzy I have a C-15 2004 435 hp acert engine. I would like to get more hp from
    it. What can a Cat shop do as for as going into the ECM and changing parameters
    around?

    OP I'm not trying to hijack your thread here, just saw that he is a mechanic and
    thought I'd ask a few questions.

    Coonas,

    I will be sure to check that out as well, as my dad wants to do that to his truck later on down the road.

    crazzy,

    Sorry about not getting back to you sooner. My dad wanted me to ask you if the sensors are covered under warranty. I know regular auto dealerships won't cover sensors on regular cars.

    Thanks,

    The senors are covered under CAT warranty until about 250,000 or 500,000 miles depending on what type of warranty program ya bought. The ECM is also covered, but none of the wiring harnesses or plugs.

    On a side note, I was alerted to this problem by a good friend. The injector harness plugs up on the spacer plate of the motor seem to be leaking oil into the plugs. In a few cases I have heard of the oil seeping through the wires and down as far as the ECM. When this happens it fries the ECM and CAT will not warranty any of this since the problem was cause by a plug. Both of the injector harness plugs on my motor had oil laying in them. After a few shots of brake clean and a few more of air the motor runs a little smoother. I'm gonna dig into this problem a little farther, but I'm guessing a tube of silicone is gonna be used on the back of the plugs.

    Your father truck has a very good warranty that covers it till 500,005 miles and yes the sensor is covered. Also as stated buy pulling trucker harness are not.

    Pulling trucker I have seen the issue your havving but not all the way to the ecm. Clean it with electrical componant cleaner, it doesnt leave residue. You will have to pull valve cover base to get your harness out enought to seal the back side. contact cat and ask for goodwill the may help pay for the repair.. always a chance. But do it at a cat shop that in your home area local's get help.

    I appreciate the advice crazzy. But unfortunitly the local CAT house has lost my respect. I'm gonna buy a case of beer and do it in my driveway when I take another week off.
