I'm curious too. If everything else checks out fine like you've described, it must be tires or maybe driver behavior.

In my opinion the Bridgestone's are not great. My shop puts SailUn tires on everything, mostly because of price but they do wear decently.

What tires are you using?

I'd like the code.

I honestly couldn't tell you if calibrations have changed. I've found the MAF to be the culprit many times with a low power complaint with no CEL. Debris gets baked onto the sensor elements. You can very gingerly pick the debris off with a toothpick or something, and then hose it down with MAF...

Try cleaning or replacing the mass airflow sensor. Check the CAC for cracks and leaks. Do a valve adjustment. These are some of the things I'd check for a low power complaint with no CEL.

Where in VA? My shop is a half hour east of Richmond. We work on Hino and Isuzu trucks. Having a scan tool is very useful, but deleting codes doesn't help whoever is trying to fix it. At least record them all. And depending on what caused limp mode, the codes may not be clearable, with...

Id make sure all the wood in top of the frame is intact, and all the body bolts are tight. Any loose rivets down the sides need to be replaced. The cracking is from swaying, so anything you can do to tighten it up may help.

Wow, that's nuts. I'm not sure where that came from (other than the aforementioned oil filter).

I don't watch tv. Can you provide a link?

I recently worked on a Hino that had a frozen slip yoke and incorrectly balanced tires. Vibrated like crazy. For vibration analysis, you need to think about the frequency of the vibration. Lower frequency vibrations are often tires, and higher frequency vibrations are often drive line. I...

You have to remove the turbo.

Hurricanes hit Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, Japan, the Philippines, etc. Should they rebuild those places?

That's unusual. The 4 cylinder doesn't usually munch the whole valve train. If the valves had never been adjusted, it may be possible for the crosshead to jump off the valve stems and onto the retainers. The next time the rocker arm presses down it'll drop two valves when the keepers pop out...
