    Stopped by Altorfer CAT this morning to get some filters & also grabbed a pre paid mail in canister to have both the oil sampled & coolant analyzed. The oil was $11 & the coolant was $33 & they will e-mail the results back.

    Where do we start... plugged air/fuel filter, plugged exhaust, engine de-rate caused by an ECM fault code... is this a truck that just started acting up or something you just started driving?

    make/model/engine would be good to know.

    I would have to say that Slick900 is correct. Eventhough the injectors are new, they need to be calibrated. The CAT house may be the only ones that can do this but Im not sure. I had a few of my injectors go bad after the ULSD diesel swap but I didnt have to do the programming because the tech pulled them off and the shop rebuilt them on the spot. I was in Long Beach, California at the place that rebuilds the injectors....... I forgot the name though.

    Sure, seek a reputable mechanic. Have him find the correct or newest updated program. And let him do his computer magic.

    We have one with 280k miles on it. 410hp great mpg bolted to a a.m. 12 speed auto. If the little hose that's on the oil cooler to water pump is old change it. If it goes on the side of the road it is a p.i.t.a.

    Old thread, but just updating. Fuel mileage has stayed in the mid 7's per IFTA qtr.(all pump to pump calculated)
    I did replace the leaking CAC & radiator at the same time fall 2010. No notable difference in power or fuel mileage. Obviously better water temps. Coolant analyses improved too.

    Had the overhead ran late last summer, the guy said hardly anything needed touched.

    The only issue(s) are the waste gate actuator valve rusted off at the base of the canister. CAT would like to sell you a complete turbo to fix it, but someone from the forum here gave me a place to check out to fix that.

    Noticed the compressor had a little oil coming out of the relief valve on the side of it. Thinking probably time to change it out in the next week or two???
