Thank you so much for all your videos! I am your subscriber from Russia. I consider you to be one of my teachers in diesel engines! I buy engines from auctions in US Florida and sell them here in Russia. And your lessons really helped me when I just started all that ))
Got a REALLY left field question here... Would there be any possibility at all of taking a direct injection CAT 3408 and modifying it to be an electronic engine. For example,... using electronic injectors from a 3406E or later electronic engine? I'm sure there would have to be custom heads in order to fit 3406E or later injectors into a 3408,.... and then there is the entire ECU problem. But what about going with a stand alone aftermarket ECU? Just throwing around some crazy ideas. The 3408 is such an awesome engine and I want to put one in a Peterbilt,... but would like to get best performance and fuel mileage with newer electronic technology. Any thoughts, comments, etc. would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks Cyrus
Damn. I just got the problem of TIPSS and the ecm connectors and you solve it so easy with 1 click. Haha. Wish that I could have watched this sooner. Love your content, very infomative and fun to watch. Keep up the good work man. Is there anyway to contact you for work consultant? I'm from ASEAN so I think I might need your help online as there is no engineer in my place can fix those problems I have.
It’s was great video . I have question if I put new ecm on my machine is it gonna show 0 hours on display ? do I have to contact dealer to reset hour to original hours and programmed Thanks
this is a very good and instructional video. i really love your channel. please can you make a video on how to connect the jumper to the ECM. Please can you also tell us what cables to use as jumper cables. some of us we love doing the bench testing. thanks.
Nice video Engr I need to program an ECM of caterpillar D6 dozer with engine S/N 8tm01202. Pls What will it take for you to remote program the ECM for me? Best regards.
hey buddy, how r u? i wish u the best for all your helps i have a problem, i have an engine which its ecm needs to be flashed and programmed again, but unfortunately the engine does not have any id and i just guess it is 3406e. now the current ecm communicates with adapter but as someday was changed with someone and not correctly programmed, it does not show any serial no and maybe that is the reason the engine does not start. finally i want to know that is there any way or method to get the ESN of an engine by not counting on id plate or ecm info??? because i need to get the correct flash file and program the ecm well. my best regards
Excelente video , you are a great technician, I have done this before but didn’t fully understand before, if I can ask you a question will be about that flash file to clean the ECM and when it’s necessary to do it Thank you for share your knowledge whit us
Is it possible to set the year back within the ecm? To avoid ELD laws I’ve heard of guys having the ecm changed to show 1999 vs any older date. Is this possible?
Great video thank you for all your help allways Got a quick .question I have a 97 kenworth with a 3126 We did a covertion from 390 rear end to 358 teams end. And now my truck won’t t go over 60 Do I have to take it to get program ??
No you have to take it with someone who has a tool that can connect to the ECM and reprogram the PPM. PPM = Number of chopper teeth on transmission X Axle Ratio X Tire REVS per mile.
You have to change the dip switches behind the speedometer so it reads correctly. Then update your PPM in the ECM so the data is stored correctly there.
Good morning there. I was just reading some of the comments I bet you can sit on the computer ALL DAY answering questions...! ANOTHER great video I will get back with the Vin I'm not at my truck yet...TY
I just wanted to mention I called Triple-T they told me I've got to install one on the passenger side behind the oil cooler there's a plug unscrew it and screw the other one in... I was just letting you know what I found out or I can put a block heater on it. I am being told it's not a bad job to install that plug not hard at all...? 1500 watt plug.. 1fuja6av37w93940
Good morning Josh Friday day after Thanksgiving anyway hope you had a good 1...... I just wanted to see if you would look up this part # 3500111 engine heater cat 15 and see what you think..? & how difficult to install I cannot find not one single video on it.... sorta unbelievable...THANKS
Congratulations friend for the videos! I wonder how much is costing a cat 3 communicator out there. Here in Brazil is very expensive. and I already work for a while with heavy machines electronics but I don't have the cat communicator. even a used server served me.
Love the video. I would like to copy of the files. As back ups for the fleet. familiar with Detroit software, but not with cat ET. Any videos on days will be appreciate it. checking on pin setting.
I have a 2001 Kenworth t800 c12 ycpxm0729erk engine#2ks49050, I have installed a 2007 c12 BCY-00138 family 5cpxl12.0esk (military surplus engine) generator engine my questions #1 is there a program out there for this conversion. Question #2 what is the difference between the two engines other than voltages the ypc(445hp) hp and variable speed and the BCY is 515hp and wants constant speed (RPM) and turbo, is the camshaft the only difference or is the crankshaft and stroke different. I did had a local guy program the BCY (ECM) it does run and idles fine but when driving there is a few spots that the engine sputters then puffs out big cloud out the exhaust pipe (fuel) I can feather the throttle out but I want to fix. Any ideas to help. I think its the camshaft and timing issue in programming, Would you know if its just the way the camshaft was designed for constant RMP. and /or think that if I change to a truck camshaft and ECM that it will work with the crankshaft and stroke of the BCY engine and/or the injectors need to be changed .I really enjoy your videos and thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience cheers
I have a question for you Josh, if someone got your timing calibration, or fts or fls messed up could it cause a truck to start burning oil. I had a ecm go flag and right after I started using oil. Thanks
Hello! Hey, do you have any tutorial about the customer version of the software for a CAT Scan ET Caterpillar, how to install it, download it or buy it? Cheers!
Hi! I'm trying to reprogram a MSX40348 Twin Turbo to run off of a Single Turbo. Having issues trying to upload a Timing Parameter xml into the ECM. Was wondering if there was a way I could reach you and ask for you advice/assistance. Thank you.
I am having a head scratcher problem, I do all these steps, get the same starup communicating messages in this video, ATA then CDL, the j1704 light flashes but yet it always comes back with no ecm detected. I know this can't be right cause my 3126b starts and runs just fine??
Can I copy my ecm file using copy config on to my laptop desktop and upload the same file to my friends truck of same year and model. Do you recommend me to save my ecm program to laptop regardless
Is it possible to copy a program from an ecm to my laptop for future use? A buddy of mine has a 7cz and i want to copy the program to my computer and am unsure how to do that.
aloha adept ape , i have a morbark 2006 model blizzard12 w a caterpillar eng 3054c/e type 2 this eng has 3 settings for the rpms and the high setting is revving at 2550 rpm. its seems high and i am inquiring of how to lower the rpms to 2000-2400. any advise ?
does reflashing an ECM damage it in any way. I have a BXS engine that had the double turbo and was converted to single turbo the ACERT was removed all prior to me purchasing this truck. i now had to purchase a new ecm and when the mechanic reprogrammed we now have the check engine light and three codes which are due to the ACERT being removed. I have a guy that can put a new program that will remove the codes but I would like to know if reflashing will damage my new ECM
Guys are making huge money in New Zealand doing ECU reprogramming and deletes of egr, and DPF DEF systems. Most charge $1300 for ECU reprogram on most makes and models.
Hi mr. Josh, I had a question, what do you say about that whenever I want to test cylinder cutout on one of my engines, it is aborted automatically. I tried at different times and watched the loads on my engine, but its unreasonable because I had no change in loads My best regards
Hi sir... I have 400kw electronic perkinz diesel generator the engine has cat ecm... The problem when you start the engine every thing ok when the engine worm up it start vibrat..
wat is a good mxs file to download i hav access to sis but i got stock engine i think its a 625 but not sure i hav ti check but id like a littkle more power if possible
Back in 1996 had a new KW doing the second oil change, around 20k miles, did the service started engine ran for leaks shut truck off, went into the office to pay the bill come back to truck check oil level go to start truck to back out of the shop engine wouldn't start, the ecm died that fast
I had a truck where we coudn't connect to the ECM from the plug under the dashboard. The gauges and warning lights were all over the place, but the truck still ran relatively well. It turned out that the ECM was fine, and there was bad wiring between the truck and the ECM. Once this problem (corrosion) was tracked down and repaired, the truck worked properly. The lesson being: please check all is well before diving in to the ECM.
Pre emissions isx i have been told are million mile engines, have have a few that have been deleted that have over 600k on them now in newer peterbilts with very few issues

That takes me back, wish I saved the old cd's that we use to use for flashing, before the Nox files came out.
Thanks for all passing on all your experience, you seem to always break it down that I can follow
Very good thank you very much, more technical videos on reflashing and reprogramming please for those of us who are just learning
Another great video from my favorite diesel youtuber. I would like to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Factory passwords are not the problem for me, thanks for sharing this great experience!

like your videos, you finally gave away what dealer you work for. I work in a cat engine/fuel/machine shop.
Any hints as to what dealer or whatever he's at?
Best tutorial ever on win flash cat ECM
When you press the "Begin Flash" button in CAT ET, does it return any output in a LOG record for the actions it performs?
Got a REALLY left field question here... Would there be any possibility at all of taking a direct injection CAT 3408 and modifying it to be an electronic engine.

So, here's a question. As a non-CAT tech, can I tell if my 3126B has been flashed for 300 hp?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of ET software.
You are amazing bro. U hlep me alot in my duty . Thx
Can I copy my ecm file using copy config on to my laptop desktop and upload the same file to my friends truck of same year and model. Do you recommend me to save my ecm program to laptop regardless
Do you only have yellow blood? Or work on all brands?
Using this method to delete the SCR is effective?
You can also get the fls fts off the data plate if you cannot access sis
Is it possible to copy a program from an ecm to my laptop for future use? A buddy of mine has a 7cz and i want to copy the program to my computer and am unsure how to do that.
Is this software can also be used for cat diesel generator?

Hello. How can I do convert the communication from c9 to c13.on kw 2008 w900
Hello, I have a C9 adem A4( on a generator) running @1500RPM (50Hz) I need to change the speed to 1800RPM (60Hz). How can I do it?
Hey you could hire on as cat man with drilling companies and they send you to repair and overhaul there engines. They pay big big money.
I have a 2007 c7 cat and wont pass over 42 miles. Can you help me with this problem.
I have a c 12 with no jakes on it. Do I need to have the ecm reflashed afterwards? Or will they operate without an ecm flash.
I take it you added engine brakes?
Jay Dunbar not yet. Looking to do so here soon. Was just wanting to know if there's more to than just slapping a set on and go.
Enjoy coming to this ch to learn :)
hello sir
kindly can you tell me what is the difference between ADEM1 .ADEM2.ADEM3.ADEM4
Can you make one video for EMCP 4.1 replacemet
Back in 1996 had a new KW doing the second oil change, around 20k miles, did the service started engine ran for leaks shut truck off, went into the office to pay the bill come back to truck check oil level go to start truck to back out of the shop engine wouldn't start, the ecm died that fast
What would you charge if i sent you my ECM to reprogram it to get the most out of it without having to rebuild the motor
"ECM Kings" in Texas know their stuff! Check'em out👍
Any chance do you know how to make a Cat ECM 40 pin communicate
VERY USEFULLY
So if the light not on for j1708 not green then the ecm is not reading
Good for you friend
can you send for me the schematic to make wiring between ecm and cat adapter 3 to test ecm at home
So helpful
I WISH WE CAN HAVE A VIDEO HOW TO CALIBRATE THE TIMING SENSOR USING THE PROBE
Is it possible to flash in this situation if ET does not communicate with ECM? pl,ease help me...
No, the ECM must communicate in order for it to be flashed. On the 40 pin ECMs you have to go to Winflash first.
I had a truck where we coudn't connect to the ECM from the plug under the dashboard. The gauges and warning lights were all over the place, but the truck still ran relatively well. It turned out that the ECM was fine, and there was bad wiring between the truck and the ECM. Once this problem (corrosion) was tracked down and repaired, the truck worked properly. The lesson being: please check all is well before diving in to the ECM.
Funny u say that cause guys who tuned ecms use to pull 1 wire from plug so dealer couldn't change tune to a low NOX when truck went in for work
I have sis but i dont find option service software files
thanks !
this was valuable
Good stuff, Thanks
Plz show us the ecm bench test harness..
Hi brother I have code CID-190-2 in ECM Machine Control what caused please help brother ?
Hello bro .i need ET software can you help me acquire one .
What about trim codes of injectors
Perfec Waoooeww 👍
I swapped a 3176b 9ck serial number ecm without anything and truck worked fine… i think the new ecm has lower hp, how can i get it to 345hp
Any opinions on pre emissions Cummins ISX? was thinking about buying a truck with one in it.
He is a cat mechanic, so doesn't comment on (at least that I have seen) on questions related to other types of engines.
Pre emissions isx i have been told are million mile engines, have have a few that have been deleted that have over 600k on them now in newer peterbilts with very few issues
What could cause coolant to mix with oil and also oil preasure drop at the same instance....? CAT3406e
Possible crack in the block or cylinder lining, head gaskets
Or the oil cooler. Happened to me i had a 3406E IN a 96 freigjtliner FLD. Mixing oil and coolent and lookes like milk. This was back in 06.
Could be O ring's
How to upload a pcl file onto the pl1000E?
really good
Usually fls and fts are printed on the nameplate of the engine body or top head cover
Will a CAT 3116 engine fit under the hood of a RAM 3500?
Only one way to find out
If I had the cash and shop I'd give it a try. I've seen a 4045T John Deere in a RAM 1500 before.
GOOD DAY FRIEND, HOW COULD I CONTACT YOU. THANKS
