What makes you think the valve is stuck open? Are you talking the return line back to the oil pan. Mine was leaking at the return and it cost me around $150.00 including the kit and labor to have it fixed. Have you contacted CAT? __________________ 1997 Triple E Empress, Freightliner Chassis, CAT 3126 w/ 275 horse's. MD 3600 Tranny, 2011 Ford Escape Hybrid w/Blue Ox tow bar and Roadmaster Base Plate.
