What causes hydraulics to overheat?

Looking at what seems like a good deal on a 2006 with a VT365. Just growing the net, the VT365 doesn’t get the standard “good reviews” that the DT466 gets. I see that this is an engine they build a Powerstroke with at one time.

What to do if your VT365 injector fails?

Another one of the ’05 IC’s with the VT365. I tried replacing the 40 amp fuse in the battery cable only to find that wasn’t blown.
