    I'm sorry. I had a rough day, and when I got home, I passed out for about 7 hours. I gotta go to DMV in the morning. When I get back, I'll stop by the shop. There's a crappy laptop there with DX on it. I'll fire it up and talk you through it. PM'ing you my contact info.

    You will be running it through the 16 pin data link connector, rather than the round 9-pin connector.

    You will also need an interface tool. Hino Bowie is one. That runs off of a serial cable. Serial cable converters can be used but its glitchy

    I'm assuming you're buying a copy of Hino DX, which is the original diag software. Now we're using DXII, 1.1.15.4 or something. They have an update around once a week, trying to build the manuals into the code descriptions (similar to Isuzu IDSS, but more flexible).

    I haven't used the old DX for about 18 months now, so I don't know what level the software was at. I think it will, but old dx is not user friendly at all . It will do the job, but it will take a long time to get familiar with it. If you use it successfully just a few times, it will pay for...

    Sooo, I ran into one today that sounds very familiar. Early 2005 268, 380k. Loaded truck, on the hook. The driver was waiting. It would idle, but not really move. I limped it halfway through a bay door then it died. Luckily it was warm out, because it was stuck there. Shut the heat off, put...

    I guess I'd add a radiator cap to the list. Look at bottom of water pump from driver's side. If you have a small mirror on a stick, it might help. Or a borescope. It's really difficult to see. If you are running Hino Pink or Blue coolant, both will leave an easy-to-see crust built up around...

    Engine RPM - Allison Trans -Rear end gears.. HELP

    8-10 all have air compressors and exhaust brakes, but not necessaily air brakes. 8-10 dpf, no def. 11 up def and dpf. After 11, there are differences in shifter consoles, the specifics idk. I mentioned early o n that I'm no good at spec'ing trucks, so exactly what came with each truck...well...

    Filling the fuel filter is fine. I'd replace the primer pump if its malfunction bothers you, or if there's a loss of power traced back to it. The head gaskets almost always leak oil on the right rear side, or sometimes right behind the turbo, or both. Anywhere else and I'd suspect it's the...

    Those pumps die on isuzus sort of often. Sometimes they fail in a way that restricts fuel flow too.

    Big Truck I work on Hino trucks. I'll answer any questions I know the answers to.

    An injector cup is possible, but there's no good way of testing them. I have never seen an EGR cooler cause this. The cores are very well made. The oil cooler can leak coolant like a sieve. The head gasket can leak coolant like a sieve. Left rear corner of engine, in the 'nook', it'll leak...

    Not without it punishing your effort. Is there a reason you want to do this? The EGR coolers rarely give a problem. Occasionally an EGR valve takes a dump, sometimes they can be cleaned. Occasionally the flange on the pipe that attaches to the exhaust manifold breaks, but it can be welded...

    The info I sent you earlier is not correct. It looks like 09-up have a six speed option.

    Engine RPM - Allison Trans -Rear end gears.. HELP

    Sorry, but I don't think this one is a six speed. I'll keep an eye out. Edit: 09-up have a six speed option.
