I bought a 2015 Freightliner with 286k miles on it from a dealer about 3 weeks ago. They claimed the truck was reconditioned, DOT inspected, and set with 4 brand new tires on the rears (wheel swap done by their maintenance team because the existing tires were below my spec to buy). About 9,000...

so we ended up taking it to the shop... as of Friday they think its an EGR valve issue (though still T/S)

thanks, the one pictured was replaced...though you're saying there are two. Don't think we did both of them.

Morning, I have a 2007 Hino that has an issue I can't figure out. We've replaced the fuel filters, and the brake switch sensor in the back near the wheels. Here's a video showing what the truck is doing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZqZN3Uh-NC6SZaOkjM4Rs-jOClkLjmg-/view?usp=drive_link...

9 pin. The truckx tech guys called us and said their ELD doesn’t work with this truck

This still the case? Folks having issues with 2007 Hino 268s reading properly with ELDs? We have TruckX ELD and got put out of service due to lack of engine hours / mileage not being tracked. We weren't aware there was an issue, ELD said connected and it was showing the duty status just fine and...

Shop manager called me today..... very apologetic, saying the standard stuff "we never do that here, I've been here 40 years and not seen this, I have the work report right here....I can't believe it..... we'll make it right." Well I already disputed the credit card charge. Sent me the 15 pages...

Confronted the Hino shop about the lack of work on the turbo repair. The assistant manager said it was impossible, something wasn't right. They checked the VIN because they thought I brought another truck to try and scam THEM. Showed me where QA checked off the work, but agreed they can't see...

So I had the truck in for a DOT inspection and double-check with another local mechanic. He said the truck checked out ok, and that he also didn't think the Hino shop did any of the work they charged for.... but after completion he said he had to replace the rear wheel seals. When I got the...

Thanks!

I tried searching a bit to find the normal service schedule for my truck, but ended up only being able to find newer models. Anyone have a quick reference guide that lays out the PMI? Thank you!

Yeah, the question I have is if it was a single dude pocketing the time, or if the whole shop is in on it. I intend to talk to the owner and if he doesn't find a way to make it right ASAP I'm going to Hino directly. Unless you guys think I'm just wasting my time...

Oh as soon as this truck is back you can bet your ass.... at this point I wonder if the VNT controller is new (reconditioned) at least? But I need to put eyes on the truck. I always look over work... this one time I didn't because I had a train to catch. I mean I'm looking at the before and...

When I google the sub-assembly part right off the invoice for $2276 I come up with this https://degeltruckparts.com/shop/17201e0654/ I definitely didn't get that part now that I look at the before and after.

I found my photos from when I purchased the truck this fall... I don't see many new components from this photo to after the repair. I'm going to have the driver take better overall engine photos next time he steps. For now the hose is holding....If the VNT controller went bad what should the...

I mean I thought it was a qualified Hino service

So I'm back.... dumb on me to trust the shop without checking the work. I did pick the truck up after dark and handed it over to the driver. He's been having an issue with the inter-cooler hose popping off. He bought a new clamp (picture 1 and 2) but it still pops off. I recommending maybe...

Yep, $5k and a new turbo later she's running. The tech I spoke to didn't have any issues getting codes, so that part apparently is going to remain a mystery. 2 shade tree mechanics and one of their techs in December couldn't read codes. But when we left it for deeper diagnostics on a later...

Thanks! Will do...
