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...

There is zero mention of the headlights in the manual, and I haven't run into this problem in person yet.

I'd inspect the turbo and see if there's any binding if you put a little side pressure on the shaft while spinning it by hand. Can you get into system protection data? DPR inlet temperature much higher than outlet can indicate an airflow problem.

I think it'll make it.

Yes, it is covered. There is a warranty enhancement on your truck that will (currently) cover the DEF pump, DEF tank sensor, ATC, DPF, DOC, SCR, EGR valve, ECU, DEF lines, DCU, every aftertreatment temp sensor, DPF differential pressure sensor, cam and crank position sensors, Mass airflow...

What's your vin? It may be covered under an extended warranty.

Does it bind with the front tires off of the ground?
