Ok, that's a good one.Boaz MacPhereson posted:So...wait. Either everything comes on at once or nothing ever works, right? Do the brake lights come on when you turn on the fogs? Do the fogs come on when you hit the brakes with the fogs turned off? Do the tails only work when the brakes are on? I've fixed it now, but Jesus, who does that?

Well, that's certainly impressive. Do I see signs of fatigue or is it all brittle fracture?

The specifics depend on the agreement between the mine and the manufacturer but yes heavy equipment is warrantied. I know that, at least for the dump trucks, Komatsu has an uptime guarantee and for the larger mines will provide a standby truck to be used in the event of a breakdown in one of the mine's fleet. I imagine the other manufacturers have similar guarantees. That part will probably be taken by Komatsu and analyzed to see what went wrong and e: Not a failure but while we're talking about the size of heavy equipment, here's a picture of what the ground looks like after a Cat D11 crawls past.  Huge machines are awesome

It's different dealers setting up online ordering for the same backend. The funny thing is that they all don't operate as dealers. If you call Flow's parts department, it's not the same as GMPartsDirect. Some have actual internet parts managers with good customer service and direct phone lines.

Just because they use them for the site doesn't mean their payment processing, inventory or fulfillment is through them.

Well their owner ripped me a new rear end in a top hat over it and about how they don't make mistakes, it was my fault, I need to pay for it to be fixed, ie, being completely unreasonable. I was able to talk him off the ledge and get it resolved, but it's probably not the best customer service practice for the company owner demand the customer pay the shipping and duty for UPS/shipping gently caress up.

Fun fact: I am less than 10 miles from the Bingham Copper Mine, the worlds largest open pit mine. It can be seen from space with the naked eye. I have seen tires being transported for the dump trucks on the highway before, they take up nearly 2 lanes. Totally bitchin'

I've been to the Caterpillar Technical Center in Peoria, IL and it is awesome. I was there for generators in an experimental microgrid, but the Cat folks there showed us around a bit. They have whole 'playgrounds' for earth moving equipment that's actually inside huge buildings with gigantically high roofs. Cat equipment driving around everywhere just for testing, giant gently caress-off engine test beds for power testing. Fun side note: they built a prototype battery system for us that needed big power semiconductor inverters that can go both ways. They didn't have exactly that, but they had the inverter electronics from a huge piece of earthmoving equipment that did the job perfectly. Glycol-cooled electronics, each inverter can handle 250 kW at 410 VDC. No horrible failure so far.

My picture is from inside one of the facilities you mentioned and it is indeed awesome. 150,000 square feet of indoor arena space for testing and demonstration. Here's part of the demo they do there. e: I've got a much better version than that person's low res shakeycam but for the life of me I can't figure out how to edit video in any Adobe CS6 product.

I've worked for CAT for most of my life and I still haven't been able to go to Peoria or Morton to see the test sites. It looks like a blast. I really wish I could have a camera at work to post all the incredible poo poo I handle every day.

Click "browse catalog" at the bottom, put in make, model, and year and a list comes up of various systems (engine, brakes, body, etc). Then click on "available parts diagrams." A little late, but jumping on the 'don't buy from these guys' bandwagon. It took 10 business days for them to give me a tracking number on a part that was "in stock" that they "shipped" the day after I placed the order.
