The atomizer is leaking. There's a cup seal inside of a fuel pressure regulator that tends to crack. This seal and a related o-ring are now available separately. After they are replaced, but before the atomizer cover is reinstalled, the fuel pressure has to be checked and adjusted, which...

So, P0708 is a range switch open circuit. Replacing the range switch makes sense, as it's a common thing to fail. What I would have done at the same is replace the transmission's internal wiring harness, since they already had the pan off, and the harness is only about $75. The harness does...

I gotta look that code up. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

Take one of the banjo bolts off of the fuel filter*, get hose off of banjo fitting and put that directly onto the front of the injection pump. *If it has that style. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

Check the brake light bulbs for broken filaments, check wiring for general crappiness, etc. If there is backfeed into brake light circuits it'll think the brakes are on and prevent acceleration. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

The hard start and rough idle are likely fuel supply problems, maybe. Several things can cause this. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

Adjust the brake switch. Make sure the plunger is fully depressed with the pedal released. You can test by lifting the brake pedal gently with your left foot when you accelerate. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

If the level in the radiator is down an inch, it is low and it will set off the alarm. Make sure the pickup tube on the reservoir cap exists. This sometimes falls off and into the tank. Also make sure the hoses aren't reversed on the cap. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

I re-read your post. The level in the reservoir rises to a point greater than before and stays there, is that correct? If yes, you have a leak. The leak is small enough not to actively drip, but large enough to allow air to enter the cooling system when the engine is cooling off. The...

Usually it leaks near the green circle, but will occasionally leak externally in the area between cylinders 3 and 4. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

In 2014 they got DEF quality sensors. For 2011-2013 the truck makes a calculation of DEF quality by comparing the amount of DEF used to the amount of NOx reduction. Check the DEF injector using the DEF addition test function. The quantity should be correct with all three tests, and it should...

These things love to break exhaust manifolds. The 2008-10 trucks were much worse about it though. They're also kind of slow. Definitely test drive it. Listen for sounds of injector failure (nailing, misfire). The biggest problem I have with the 2005 145s is how remarkably ugly they are...

How much coolant do you add per day? Week? If that sensor gets uncovered, the alarm will sound. If gases enter the cooling system, this can happen. I would look for leaks. Common places include the oil cooler and head gasket. Left rear corner, or behind turbo, especially. Also have a...

Around 2000 they world still be the 3126. Pretty sure. The evolution of this engine went 3116-> 3126-> C7. The 3126 was the best of the bunch, but they were still essentially nonrebuildable, since they didn't have removable cylinder liners. And parts are expensive. Sent from my XT1585 using...

First, I will admit my bias. I work on Hino trucks. I understand their nuances, strengths and weaknesses. Second, for your purposes, I don't recommend anything newer than 2007 because after that came the aftertreatment systems, and all manufacturers struggled for a while. This stuff adds a...

I personally think the Cummins is a better choice. OP hopefully got a good truck that will run well for a long time. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

There's been several. They stick out in my mind. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

I ran this through a VIN decoder. It says it has a CAT C7 acert. I'm not impressed with these engines at all. In fact, there's one dead in my yard, exactly like yours, but with 100k fewer miles. It just randomly blew up one day. Shredded cylinder wall. Parent bore block, no removable...
