    Just like everything else, identify a parts and repair center near you and get to know the people. Hire a Hino-specific mechanic for a few hours to give you as comprehensive an analysis as possible. Investigate parts availability before buying. I was very impressed with how smooth these two...

    I've only worked on one pair of Hino marine engines. I've heard from others that they're very good if maintained correctly. They are not the same as in the trucks, the architecture is different.

    Another Hino Throttle Problem

    Hino offers new and reman turbos. The reman ones occasionally have a vnt problem, in my experience. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

    Another Hino Throttle Problem

    Avoid the temptation to get the turbo rebuilt and reusing the old vnt controller. Avoid aftermarket 'rebuilt' controllers. We've seen plenty of these cause myriad problems. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

    Fixing the rare broken mantle

    Most of the trucks we see are from the same customers, and we retain customers for years when we can show them that we were able to fix a $4k part for a few hundred bucks worth of labor on the same day the truck showed up for repair.

    Hino cracked cam housing

    WOW. Here they're like $1800, I think.

    Hino cracked cam housing

    I've not seen damage like that. I've seen severe damage to the cam housing when the engine drops a valve, or when something comes apart in the gear drive. But not what you're describing. It sounds like someone dropped it on the floor and didn't say anything. Sent from my XT1585 using EO...

    What is this?

    For me, it's usually high. I swear, doing this without dx is doing it blindfolded. I know this is frustrating. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

    Fixing the rare broken mantle

    On all of the 2011-2014 conventional Hinos, DPF heating is done with a burner system. This system has a few...eccentricities. One of the rarer things that happens is burner mantle breakage. Maybe 1-2 out of a hundred trucks with burner issues will have a broken mantle. I've personally...

    What is this?

    It's pretty sensitive, I'd say about 1/8-1/4 turn should be sufficient.

    2010 Hino 258 p0087

    I looked at the DX report. When they were monitoring fuel pressure, they had 'engine drive forced stop' activated. I don't know why they would do this, but would it make a difference?

    2010 Hino 258 p0087

    That is a load of bull. It's checked by pulling the injectors out, bolting in an adapter, hooking a gauge to it, and cranking the engine. There's not a method of doing a 'relative' compression test by evaluating cranking speed either ( international uses this method with their software)...
