Was the 149 series ever used in locomotives, or was it to small? Tell me more about the EMD, Winston, and Cleveland’s.
I saw a Kenworth K100 COE at a sale this summer. Low bunk sleeper. It had an 8V92 I think a silver. Behind that it had an automatic. Didn’t know they used automatics that early.
No, I have not yet. It may be the middle of the week until I get it. I’ll let you know what happens. While I’m waiting can you CAT guys explain CAT codes to me to help me understand them better? What is the ECM seeing when it says voltage high, voltage low, currant high, currant low ect. ?
I have been watching this thread but not responding because I have not worked on one of these. I have worked on some of the ag version ones though. I am not an expert on their hydraulic systems. Two of the most important things when working on hydraulics is a service manual for the system and a set of pressure gauges. A flowmeter is important to. Without being able to see if the pressure is right you’re just guessing. Working on a hydraulic system without being able to look at pressures is like trying to diagnose an electrical system without a voltmeter. A service manual should tell you how the system is set up and tell you where to start checking pressures.
LP generaters can use more fuel then you think since LP has less BTU than gas or diesel although you don’t have to worry about bad fuel. A diesel welder can be a good option if you will use the welder quite a bit. Most of them run at 3600 RPM so they will use more fuel and be more ware on the engine. Most stand alone diesel generators run at 1800 RPM. Just some thoughts.
