System Notes — ELECTRICAL AND STARTING SYSTEM
The electrical and starting system covers the battery, starter motor, alternator, wiring harness, relays, switches and the instrument panel. It carries current from the batteries to the starter to crank the engine, and from the alternator back to keep the batteries charged. Because these machines work in dust, vibration and wide temperature swings, connectors corrode, harness insulation chafes against the frame, and starter solenoids burn out from repeated short cranks. Parts in this group are usually replaced on a symptom basis — slow cranking, a dash warning, lights that dim under load, or a no-start condition traced to an open circuit.
System Notes — FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system covers the injection pump, injectors, fuel transfer pump, filters and water separator, lines and the tank. It meters and atomises diesel at the precise moment and quantity the engine needs. Modern CAT engines run very tight injector tolerances, so the group is sensitive to water and dirt: a worn injector dribbles instead of atomising, causing rough idle, white smoke and diluted oil, while a clogged filter starves the pump under load. Parts here are replaced when the engine misfires, smokes, loses power under load, or when the water separator keeps tripping — always after the fuel quality itself has been ruled out.
