Annapolis, Maryland (Part 2)

As promised, the CAT technician showed up bright and early.




Meet my new best friend, Duane.





Duane was really a nice guy and very knowledgeable.  He quickly confirmed my suspicion of injectors.    Actually, the injector seals had broken on two cylinders and the combustion was blowing fuel back up through the injector.  Sooooo, he removed and replaced all 6 injectors, set the injector timing, adjusted the valves and we were set to go.  

Not!!    When we started the engine it was clear that there was still a problem.  It turns out that one of the new injectors was bad.  Unfortunately he had no additional injectors on his truck.  Another overnight shipment from somewhere.

The good news is that CAT agreed to pick up the additional cost to replace the injector, including parts, the technicians time and travel back to Annapolis.




It was another beautiful day in Annapolis, however, this was my view for most of the day. 

Fortunately, Katy was able to get out and walk the city.  Later, we had the "usuals" and walked down to the town square market for soup and a sandwich.
