Vibration under acceleration

Definitely reflash the ECM and have the injectors overhauled if the symptoms remain. Genuine ReMan injectors from Cat are garbage. If you can afford the downtime, have them rebuilt by an expert.

No NO NO! You do not need a tuner! You need to take that truck to a licensed CAT dealership and have them install the proper programing on that ECM. You already have a tune on there, and it is a well known tune that destroys motors! You have one of the better, if not best CAT motors they ever made, FIX IT! Sorry for yelling... Call CAT again, make an appointment, let them install the proper factory file. If the ECM blows, it blows. The price we pay when messing with programming.

As far as Unilever, they are not taking any new customers, doing very little if anything here anymore. I spoke with Uni a couple of weeks ago, and that is what he told me.

For the correct file, I would only trust a CAT certified dealer or shop. The odds of your ECM bricking are probably pretty slim, unless it is already on its last leg.

You right on that but concept is the same for all engines, i went to cat and they very positive that my problem is the tune, same like all you guys thinking but they were asking 800$ another cat in pa asking 400$ going there this monday and see what happens.
