08 M1000 motor reverse?

[ezra]

ok so I finaly got ecu reflash and ecu rewired bdx light drive .so hit the butten today and it shut off and started in reverse good to go sort of.who knows if oil pump will pull air in to line.called 2 dealers got 2 diff replys.1 sed it will work just wont bpump oil in rev and that is what I thought and am ok with for the 5 sec it is in rev not wored about no oil for a rev blast.next guy says oil pump will pull air in to the line in rev now that would be a bad buzz an would mean 1 a new oil pump over $300 or 2 BDX oil delete kit drop a few lbs but have a pita mixing for as long as I own.any one running a 08 with motor reverse and not having oil pump issues? it is wild that moving 1 wire on a ecu 5 min project hit the rev butten and it stops and restarts in rev from 1 wire move

I own the same sled, and I have no answer for you. But you a "5 second reverse blast" with no oil will toast your motor. I would definatly get that figured out before you ride the sled. Did you try SnoWest?

2 dealers 4 tech,s 2 diff answers both cat master gold certified do I call 1 more and go with the 2out of 3 lol .all say will be fine with short blast off trailer or away from gas pump ect like I thought.but differ on if it would mess up the pump.

1) The oil pump will not draw air into the lines when it is running in reverse. There are check valves in the oil line connection unions that will not allow this to happen. (Babbits online/ M1000 oil pump assembly/ item # 10).
2) The motor will not burn down with short reverse runs with no oil injection. The motor has sufficient oil build up in it to run for miles before the residue oil is used up and burns down. So unless you are driving for long distances or letting it idle for long periods in reverse you do not have to worry about this.

that was my thinking but when you ask a certified cat tec it makes you start to 2nd 3rd and 4th guess your self.I am going to let her run.worst case she burns down and I will be forced to pull apart this summer and make it a 1200 dose not much of a excuse for me to start spending
