Last year driveway boondocking in Vail, Arizona
Received a call from Bill at Empire Power Systems this morning. He said the two trips out and replacing the IAP (Injection Activation Pressure) Control Valve should do the trick. This valve is part of the the CAT 3126B HEUI engine system. I am placing an overview of the HEIU engine system video in case someone with this system is having engine starting problems. We are looking at approximately $3,000, mostly in travel and repair costs.
Plans are for Jason to make this repair tomorrow, so I'm anxiously waiting. I am so pleased with the communication I'm receiving from this company and highly recommend them for anyone in the Phoenix area.
See you later.
We too are looking forward to good news and seeing you and Yuma back in the Desert Southwest
ReplyDeleteExcellent news, I thought the Lion was a goner. Wishing the best for ya!
ReplyDeleteSure hope this fixes the problem completely. I too thought you might have to scrap the White Lion. So glad she will carry on for you.
ReplyDeleteEmpire travels ALL OVER ARIZONA. So anyone who might run into a need for a really good diesel mechanic can call Empire out of Phoenix. I, personally have used them for my 40' RV diesel CAT and have been super happy with their service. I have referred a few others to them, and they have had really good service and been well satisfied too. They will travel to your good RV. Of course, you will want to weigh out the cost of them going to and from you, versus having the coach towed in. At any rate, NEVER MAKE HASTY decisions when you are STRESSED!!! The White Lion is not a complainer, not one time as he complained of the HOT TEMPS here, and he has been such a good guest he is welcome to camp anytime here.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed Doug, sounds like you have the best people looking after the White Lion. Hope to see you in the southwest this winter.
ReplyDeleteYay!! Soon the White Lion will be roaring again.
ReplyDeleteGot my fingers crossed they fix her up. Soon you'll be off into the wild blue yonder!! Start packing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for everyone's good thoughts.
