    Engine hours reset??

    i had this happen also on my 04.5. found it odd but it hasn't ever happened again and never looked in to it. mine was around 6000 hours when it happened. thinking back on it that might of been around the time my alternator failed. so the low voltage thing makes sense to me. thanks for some clarity.

    2016 2500HD DMAX Steering woes-

    The Cat loaders the 980 and larger are all joystick controlled steering and loader operation. and now with the newer models the smaller 950s have the joystick option for extra 10k. They are pretty responsive and accurate. also the Cat motor graders went to all joystick control with the start of...

    question on timing

    I'm just slowly changing stuff for now to find best economy. I'd like it to eventually be a good 50-60hp tune with good towing ability. and I've been playing around with a dsp5 tune but trying to figure out individual stuff first
