    Any Skid steer guys in here? CAT 246.

    Yes, for now anyway. My property is has a lot of clay, it doesn't take much rain to make it a greasy mess, pretty quickly. I believe tracks would handle the mud better than wheels / tires. I drove the skid through a low / wet area where my backhoe usually sinks and it was a non event. With the...

    Hood Paint Peeling Off?

    Exactly. The migration to low VOC, waterborne paint was not without growing pains.

    I did not replace it, no. I guess it could be stuck open.

    Any Skid steer guys in here? CAT 246.

    Just an update. The machine has been in the dirt under its own power for few days now. It runs well, there are a few issues I'll still need to address, all in due time. I just did the first oil change, no surprises there. I'll cut the oil filter open, look for anything out of the ordinary...

    Looking for a low power tune 08 LMM

    I blame the internet, a generation that grew up behind a PC screen. Worst consequence for shooting your mouth off is getting banned from a site. No actual interaction with people face to face. We came up kicking around machine shops, smart mouth was likely to get a co worker pissed at you...

    You're a better man than I Tom, I'll leave it at that.

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    When I read that it made me think of those "asian carp", aren't they the ones that frickin jump out of the water? I pretty sure they're fresh water and your offshore, but I guess I need more coffee. Outdrives taking on water almost makes you wonder if the cases are expanding under load and...

    Owners experiances with Duramax and Sierra / Silverado HD trucks

    What Tom said. Grocery getter or equipment hauler? Luxury or work truck. Half ton or one ton. What are you requirements, once we know that we can more accurately advise.

    bring me to speed on the newer 1500's

    I've had to plug into this 20018 (3) times to get the Tcase out of 4lo. As you can see it's got a 9" lift and wheel and tire combo that most 1500s do not, but still it can't keep a transfer case in it. Other than that it seems to be a nice truck. Owner is a friend of a friend, good kid I like...

    Any Skid steer guys in here? CAT 246.

    Most likely. Possibly? Not sure. RF Engines in Morrice (out your way). I had asked for the dipstick from one at the time of inspection, to be included with the sale. At the time of pick up, the dipstick wasn't there, I reminded them, they finally found it, but the young man who brought it...

    Any Skid steer guys in here? CAT 246.

    Thanks James, I appreciate your input. Possibly? The odd part with these are, I do not believe that they provide a constant stream of oil. The Banjo bolt that retains the jet to the block, has a spring and check ball built into it. Almost like a pressure relief valve. Maybe it's an RPM...

    Any Skid steer guys in here? CAT 246.

    There are adjustments for "maximum" fuel, so yes, I think I could back that down. Do you not think an EGT gauge would help indicate when the motor is being pushed too hard? Possibly be too late, before it shows on the exhaust temps?

    Any Skid steer guys in here? CAT 246.

    Mechanically controlled. I could possibly run it N/A, but I'd have to try and find an intake and exhaust manifold. Parts for this thing have proven to be difficult to find. The connecting rods appear to be the weak link on this motor, all of the failures I have been able to research, are a...

    Second shop owner work, pretty cool stuff.

    Any Skid steer guys in here? CAT 246.

    Well, the plot thickens on this deal. One more difference had emerged between the N/A block and the turbo block. "Piston cooling jets" I saw that the turbo motor had them, when I disassembled it. The rod that broke, destroyed the jet for that cylinder. When I disassembled the N/A motor, I...

    Non weight lifting/eat whatever/feel good/don't look back :)

    man, that's an awesome transformation. I've done Keto in the past, done Atkins, counted macros, done Paleo. All with various degrees of success. But I always fall back into my old habits. As was stated above, I need to change my lifestyle, on a permanent basis. Still on the struggle bus with...

    Life goals. Well done. I'm jealous.

    2016 LML intermittent gauge loss and no crank, no start

    You're definitely on a "bug hunt". Known issues on these; 1. As has been stated Batteries. These trucks do very strange things when the batteries get weak. Find a buddy with the same truck, swap batteries with him for a few days, see if it helps. 2. The under hood fuse box will short out...
