Well its not that simple a lot of times.First you would have to have a technician that knew where to look.I realize thats what computers are for,to lead you in the right direction,but without having the ability to plug in to the machine(since the manufacturer burnt up the test equipment)it would be hard to know where to find that sensor.Sounds as if somebody guessed that the problem was in the pump.Well what is a guess worth on a $500,000 dollar piece of equipment?Thats a sorry,sorry way of backing up your product.If everything is turning into this,get ready for a world of mad people.I have an example of a car that has lots of computer controls on it that I am ready to burn.Ive called Ford more than one time to get a hint where to look and half the time they were wrong,plus did not want to work on it either.On the other hand on my Kenworth with a Cummins engine,every time I had to call them they were right,or in the right area,and one time had to hook it to a computer that went to their headquarters in Texas,and properly diagnosed it,and fixed it,with a $175 dollar sensor,with only one day downtime.You want to defend the wrong side,go ahead.This stuff is going to be in the junk yard probably because of not thinking ahead,simple as that.I worked on Televisions when I was a kid that you could fix,what do you do with them now?Sure,I am for technology,just not for the mafia way of thinking of making it work for the thief side.If you have to pay exhorbinate prices just to find some little gizmo that costs 5 dollars is causing your machine not to work,it gets way past mad instantly.Think of it like this,no matter how big and bad you think you are,somebody is bigger,badder,and people with equipment like that wont put up with it,from you,or anybody else.Word travels fast on something like that,and it causes companies to go broke.My example of Cummins,well when you have a few million motors out there,you better be able to fix them,period,or you will be bankrupt before you can think about it.I know people in construction,and while I just dont know a lot about it,I know some,and I never heard of Mitsubishi being a major manufacturer of construction power plants,and according to this story,its not likely they will be either.As always I could be wrong.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
