Does a 3126 have a lift pump?
GM does not have a lift pump on their Duramax series trucks. Many people add one between the tank and the filter – especially if they add additional filtration and/or turn up fuel rates. It is also thought to aid the IP and injectors over the long haul, by keeping suspended air to a minimum.

On a recent trip the cooling fan fell of my Cat 3126b motor. There was no damage other than to the fan. I had a diesel shop put a new fan on. On my way home (80 miles from the shop, the coach heated up and the check engine light came on.
How many fan blades does a cat 3126B use?
I read earlier where alot of the MH’s with CAT 3126 B engines and 300 hp were using 9 blade fan blades. I checked the air flow thru the CAC and radiator at the back of the MH with a paper towel and the air did blow the paper towel out away from the radiator but not with any abundance of pressure.
What should the engine temperature be on a cat 330?
If it is stuck on low, engine temperature WILL continue to rise. With a side radiator or a rear radiator with fan clutch, there should be a range of temperature that you see: Lower one is that dictated by the thermostat. From thermostat setting (say, 195 degrees F) to where the fan cuts to high SHOULD be 4-5 degrees.

What kind of injection does a cat 3126 use?
It is an awesome running truck, he changes his own fluids and has never had any down time with it. The 3126 is a slightly larger version of the 3116 (6.6L vs. 7.2L). All the 3116’s that I have ever seen had mechanical injection, most of the 3126’s are the E model, which use HEUI injection.
