Yesterday while on my trip home, the V3 shut off, I hadn't noticed if the green had flashed prior to this or not. I had been on the road approx 1.5 hours, so the system had been running just fine.
I called DFA and talked to Jason who asked if my red LEDs were lit, but since I was driving at the time it wasn't possible to check. I pulled over and shut the truck off and tried to cherck the LEDs on the side of the road, but because traffic was heavy and a trooper had stopped to help I chose to just get going again.
Once I was back on the road, the green light came on and stayed on for about 15 minutes, then it started flashing and eventually shut off completetly. This went on for the rest of the day and evening yesterday. During this time, I spoke to John at DFA and he suggested that I check my pre filter and advised that if I had water in my oil that the Donaldson would swell and not allow oil to pass through. I don't believe this is the case as the unit has run, it just eventually shuts down.
I just pulled the pre filter and did not see a significant amount of debris, it actually looked better than some of these screens I've seen on H-Ds and tractors. I hate to change the Donaldson prematurely, so I'm going to see how it runs just with the pre filter cleaned and blown out.
I should add I have just over 1760 miles on the V3 and I filter down to 1 micron
Any ideas???
