2016 cat 305.5 bogging

Tj345 · 2024-10-19 20:52

Been having some trouble with my machine bogging out and even shutting off. When you start moving the stick and boom it’ll bog out and shut off sometimes. Happens at high rev also. My mechanic was suspecting prv valve issues. We put the computer on it to check but all the data was marked unavailable besides a few like oil temp and battery voltage. We’re fearing it might be a ECM issue. Hoping someone has dealt with a problem like this and can put me on the right path. Looking forward to a response.

    First thing you should do is an engine stall test and make sure the engine can carry the load it is specked to.

    Apart from that you need to mention a Serial Number so that specs can be looked up.

    Easy now that you have provided the Serial Number. See attached. Test the margin pressure (don't try to adjust it just yet) and report your results. Did this problem start suddenly or has it slowly got worse over time.?

    It started suddenly. Brought it home from a job, sat on the trailer for two weeks and it just started giving trouble.

    Did you find out what it was? I seem to have the same issue on a 2014 305.5
