I like my steaks extra rare.

Is the odd smell a strong one, like sulfur? Does it stink like gear oil? If so, you've blown a wheel seal. That's a DOT violation and a huge safety hazard so you'll want to address it immediately. It's got a Meritor axle, you don't need to go to the Hino dealer, any diesel truck repair shop...

The controller has a stepper motor of sorts in it, and it doesn't move easily. I might take a firm shove to get it to move. When confronted with one that's seized tight (and is seconds from a decision to be replaced), I've taken a 2 foot long screwdriver and a hammer and have forced it to move...

Stand on the tire and look down behind the turbo.

It's gonna be later this evening before I get a chance.

Engine oil on the flywheel bolts. Nothing should be needed for the bellhousing, but blue loctite never hurt anything. The crank pulley bolts are 12 point 17mm (pretty sure it's 17 and not 19). If Im doing it myself, I turn the crank pulley from the bottom. If I have help, I get them to turn...

That's a coalescent filter. It helps condense oil vapor back into a liquid and helps it return to the crankcase. Imagine what it would look like without that in there! You can pretty much always expect to see oil in the orange hose, either from crankcase ventilation or from the turbo itself...

There's a Freightliner M2 in my yard that totally agrees with you.

You can scratch the C7 from the list. It's parent bore block guarantees a nightmare when one of its brittle piston rings decides to break. For me, it's a toss up between one of the first two, for familiarity's sake.

I think it's better for me to refrain from sharing unless permission is granted.

There are two dowel pins between the bellhousing and trans. The HAVE to both be in there. Also, the torque converter's snout and the six mounting pads need molybdenum disulfide paste applied to the surface. The paste keeps the metal layers from shifting against each other, wearing the metal...

Are you trying to set a maximum vehicle speed? If so, that will have to be done with Hino DX or DXII software. It's an option set within a customization menu in the ecu. This ensures that it can't be overridden by whoever is driving. I don't have an owner's manual handy, so I'm not 100% sure...

diamondd has a reason to break some kneecaps with a baseball bat.

Some of the 4-banger trucks came with allisons, so its certainly possible. But it's going to involve changes in wiring harnesses, parking brakes, driveshafts, etc. You'd want a donor truck. Buying everything separately will cost more than the 6-10k you're currently facing. The Aisin is not a...

diamondd's truck is currently sitting at the shop where I work. Tomorrow, I troubleshoot.

You're experiencing a failure to regen. There are many causes. Some are fairly inexpensive, some are not. If there is soot in the tailpipe, the dpf is already damaged and you can't hurt it any more than it already is. If the tailpipe is clean, you can attempt to limp it in. How long has this...

I sent you a pm.

I wouldn't be surprised if that program is defunded. Seems that some people believe that IUDs cause abortions rather than simply preventing pregnancy. I think there's another underlying force at work. Some people believe that sex before marriage is a sin, and sex should result in pregnancy, so...
