Good Morbubg:
We recently purchased a 2001 Patriot 40' with 60,000 miles. There are a few items that need attention, one I found is this pressure switch. It's located on the curb side frame rail next to the air filter can. It's rotted away and one of the electrical leads has fallen off; probably what my oil pressure gauge on the dash is pegged at 100psi. It's a CAT 3126, however the info plaque in the service bay is gone, so I don't have serial numbers.
Another problem is the engine brake is inop. Question, could is oil pressure switch be effecting engine brake function? I know they are input interfaces with ECM and TCM .
Also, can anyone tell me the part number for the oil pressure switch assembly, or the best way to get it?
Joining BAC and access to the forum has been the best decision yet. I've learned so much and hope to share my knowledge whenever possible.
Thank you,
John & Kathy Demartini
