CAT Service
Just a note to my northeast neighbors. I took the Sahara to Milton CAT in Milford MA for a scheduled valve adjustment on the 3126. While it was there, I had them do the lube and oil service and replace both drive belts. They went above and beyond in service, even giving my valve cover a brand new coat of CAT yellow. The service manager Jose is a great guy and treated me very well. We had a miscue in when to pick up the bus that resulted in an extra 2 hours drive for me, so he knocked off a few bucks on the shop rate.
It's tough to find a truck shop that will work on a motor home around here. The RV place does ok work but for this CAT specific maintenance item I though a CAT shop would be best.
The tech went through everything underneath and found some suspension stuff that needs attention. I figured there was something up because I've been hearing some squeaks lately.
He also recommended a 195° thermostat (the coolant temp is running just above 170° which I thought was good). I'd be interested in hearing opinions on this from the diesel gurus here (Brett).
