    Anyway thanks! The info here is always helpful. Even if they differ somewhat.:biggrin_2559:

    Good bit to start with. Might have to do it myself.

    That's where they get you the warranty. It's the same with everything. I never want to pay twice so, I usually bite the bullet. My last bill at Cat they charged me $30.00 for Cat yellow paint. I wanted the rest of the paint because if they used it, it was only one tiny spray. They wouldn't give me the can so I refused to pay it. Of course they took it off of my bill. I love all of the misc. charges!

    Yeah they are ridiculous with some things, i dont wanna go to any CAT shop because as soon as they touch it the first thing they will do is download their newest "great" software.... I threw a fit one time at a KW dealer because they saw my FLS and injector trim codes and wanted to change em to stock, i told him if he touches anything in the ecm hes gonna be walking with 3 shoes, 2 on his feet and 1 up his #$$. So they told me to leave because they wont work on it like that.... That was more than fine with me.

    The engine is going to be replaced before too long, so warranty isn't a big issue.

    Looking at rebuilding a new one myself if i can find the tools I would need.

    Counterbore tool is PRICEY!!!

    Got an assemby and disassembly manual off of ebay. Lots of info.

    By the way, I didn't think the electronic cats had a "rack"

    You're not running with the numbers printed on the injectors?
