Randy,Hi Jack - I called about a month ago and need to follow up with them to make sure everything is good. I'll do that this afternoon and write back to let you know.
How did the sea trial go? did you send the sample off?
Nick and I just got off the phone with CAT. They think it is a fuel flow issue and told us to change out all filters. The primary is a 2 micron filter so if that gets clogged, no fuel.
I may have dirty tanks (just like my mind).

Sounds good on the reservations. I'm sure I speak for all, we appreciate it.
Took the boat out yesterday all seemed fine till we started to come in. I ran it up to 1800 RPM's and was only going 10 knots. WTF here we go. Anyway I think the turbo stuck as it finally came up ok. Oil samples are in. I'll be headed that way sometime after Wednesday.
Not to stir the pot but a new thread on a 3116 fuel issue in the diesel section. Might want to give it a look. I still believe changing all filters and give it a go. I would ask CAT what the procedure for filling the primary is. Just grinding away on the starter can't be good for it. Keep me informed.
