Strange Error codes from my Cat C-6 via Silver Leaf

I received the following error codes via Silver Leaf after upgrading to ver 2(or whatever it is, but not the newest update). But in realtime, I found that I was losing power to different circuits on the fuse panel under the dash. I have a 98 Dutchstar sitting on a F/L with a C-6 cat pusher.
My thinking is either I have settings wrong on Silverlear, or a Electronic Component is/or has gone out. The one other thing I noticed was that per Silverleaf my exhaust temp was way over where it normally stays (it ranges from 90 to 110, upto 120 on hard climbs
) but at 1 time I saw it reach 150 degrees. Once I unplugged the fan so that it would run all the time, it stayed in a somewhat normal range most the time. Prior to unplugging the fan, my Trans temp would stay around 200 degrees and the engine temp stayed around 180 or higher.
I'm going to try to post the codes below n the order that I received them for others to review and let me know if they suspect the same thing as I do. Note that these codes were not a constant item, as they did not fill up a spreadsheet, but they can and went.

Two places to start:

Troubleshoot the electrical issue(s).

Once that is corrected, coolant temperature should hold rock steady at thermostatically controlled temperature except under strenuous conditions. If not, replace the thermostat(s). Caterpillar calls them "regulators" and suggests they be replaced every three years. Might be a good time to change coolant too as Preventive Maintenance.

Thanks, Will have it checked "SOON", as you never know when you may need to go somewhere before your next planned trip.
As for the Temperature, I don't have a gauge for the exhaust, am depending on Silverleaf for that, but won't be a issue to have it checked either, As you gave me a starting place. As you can see from the error codes, they were/are all over the place, thus they were/are no help other then telling me SOMETHING is wrong somewhere, again, thanks for your help.

Yes, sounds like you have some electrical "issues". Doesn't make sense to have 14 VDC at the batteries and 18 up front-- there is nothing up there that can "make" voltage. If you are not comfortable troubleshooting the 12 VDC system, probably need to have someone experienced with them help you.

And, you need to determine exactly what temperature you are reading-- likely COOLANT TEMPERATURE. And your 90-150 degrees F (assuming the engine is fully warmed up) indicates a bad thermostat(s). If this is not a gauge issue related to your voltage issue, you need to get that addressed ASAP.

Thanks Wolfe, wanted you to respond. As u said, I may have something set wrong on Silverleaf. But always had the low temps in the exhaust, even before the upgrade. So, yes will contact Silverleaf regarding the settings. When I saw the temp reach 150, I pulled over, pulled the fan plug, and it cooled right back down.
As far as the panel issue, it was necessary to find another circuit for my dash A/C, then while on the road, the 1 time this summer that I needed the A/C, no power, checked the hot lead, and no power, placed in a new circuit, worked, but fan had only 1 speed. I then lost my Back-up Cam, again, same issue, but taking the Cam off the fuse panel it worked with no problem. I did notice, and checked at different fuses, at the Service Batteries and power points at the front of the rig that the panel was showing 18 volts, but the Batteries when the rig was running was putting out 14+/- volts. And had a completely different Issue with the house batteries, as they were also putting out 14+/- volts, but up front at the control panel, it was only showing 13.2+/- with a fast discharge rate (within 2 hours). So, I'm not sure just what is going on.

Sorry, can't help with the Silverleaf part of it-- I would call them.

But am puzzled by several things:

You mention Caterpillar C-6. Suspect you have a Caterpillar 3126.

You mention exhaust temperatures of: "it ranges from 90 to 110, up to 120 on hard climbs) but at 1 time I saw it reach 150 degrees." That is WAY too cold for exhaust temperatures which run in the high triple digits and can go higher under hard climbs. I am not aware of any pyrometers that Caterpillar or Freightliner fit on RV's to be able to give you exhaust temperatures.

The 90-110 is WAY too cold for coolant temperatures, probably indicative of a bad thermostat(s). And 150 is way too hot for coolant temperature-- that is severe overheating.

So, first call is to Silverleaf to figure out exactly what you have.

And, tell us more about your: "I found that I was losing power to different circuits on the fuse panel under the dash." Certainly electronics will give bizarre readings with out of proper voltage range.
