What kind of software and equipment are need to reprogram an Hino ECU and successfully remove DPR code malfunctions? I have been told the ECU and cab controller will need to be wiped.

Or can you install a pre-2008 ECU and change chassis numbers and it work?

I don't know if deleting it is the right word, more like destroying it. LOL On a more serious note, I have 2 Hinos 268 and nobody close to me has any technology to work on them within 75+ miles of my location. It is very time consuming to run them around for repair and was considering the cost of purchasing equipment to work on them to a point. Also why in the world does the DEF Filter cost $4,000 on these trucks?

The DPF? Yes, those are costly. They often fail because of injector failure.

You can buy Russian--hacked versions of Hino DX2 on eBay for $20. You will also need an interface tool like a Nexiq USB-link. Diagnostic capability is extremely important on these trucks, without these tools you'll go nowhere.

If you're ever near Richmond VA, stop on by.

Twasluck, if your in NC it’s worth the trip to see Greasy. I got an 07 pre emissions but I always go to Greasy. I travel over 500 miles to see him, he knows these vehicle inside and out. He has done my head gasket, turbo, valve adjustment, and some other stuff. Never have a problem afterwards. Your Welcome Greasy. Enjoy Your last day in Detroit. Lol

Greasy, Where are you at in Richmond, VA? Also I have a friend selling 2 Hino's 268A with over 500k on them. I am thinking about buying them but would like to know what is the rebuild cost on a J08 or is their a re-manufactured option?
