Yes, it's internally regulated. Seems to me like it's a simple alternator failure. Is there a place near you that can test it first? You know, I've never personally changed one. We've changed a few, but the alternators and starters seem to hold up pretty well. I'd clean up all the ground...

Ehhh...I don't think so. You could argue the inverse, though.

Oh, ok. Understood.

What year/engine are you referring to? I know the early 5 cyl models are like that, but this one had a sealed controller that couldn't be disassembled. The replacement was even less friendly. It was potted, no disassembly possible.

What this tells me is that it's now an engine control issue, rather than interference from the brake/transmission anti-stall function (totally made up name for it). I'd set up DX to look at engine rpm, APP inputs, scv driving current value (actual scv current), final value of pump current...

That's above the threshold for melting it. There is a dpr recall right now, you may get a free one. Don't clear the system protection data. Check the dpr temp sensor wire connectors on the chassis side for a broken wire. Known weak Point, they sometimes break inside the insulation.

unplug the connector from the rear relay valve and try to drive it around the parking lot with the connector both open and a jumper across the terminals.

Contact cleaner works well if you don't have the special maf sensor cleaner.

What year is the truck? 1. Idk anything about configuring a truck. 2. Yes, but it depends on the year. Early trucks used a handheld device that is fairly rare. Later ones are easy. 3. What rpm does it run now at your regular top speed? No, the Allison has fixed gear ratios. A rear...

Will the vnt move through its whole range, with target and actual within 5 percent? Check the turbo for axial and radial end play. Does it spin freely, or does it stick? Is there oil on the mass airflow sensor? Does it have air or juice brakes? Are any filaments in the brake lights broken?

There's a pedal switch on top of the pedal that has a little ratchet adjustment. Turn it a quarter turn to unlock it, and press it down until the little plunger is pushed all the way in, plus maybe an extra click. The pedal return spring is not strong, and it doesn't always push the plunger back...

The problem with that is it'll wipe out the controller, then none of them work.

I have a little 3/8ths drive impact ratchet. It's exactly like this one, without the MAC branding (I bought it straight from the manufacturer in Japan). Mac Tools Online Store - 3/8" Mini Impact Air Ratchet With the air adjustment turned all the way down, a deep 8mm impact socket, and a three...

I burned it in pretty well. It's not going anywhere.

Here's an Imgur photo album I put together for another forum, showing an adventure in broken glow plug removal. Warning, it's graphic. One Sprinter got injured, but it's on the mend. It worked well, by the way. Quit while you're behind. - Imgur

Surely there is an automotive replacement available that is suitable. Any casting marks indicating the manufacturer (Denso, for example)? Take a picture of the electrical plugs and post them, if it's convenient. I'd bet that you could replace it for a song. A place that rebuilds alternators...

No problem. I think in the system protection data, you can look at hours of run and idle time, and fuel used while moving and at idle. The fuel and hours at idle can be astonishing.

Looking at the list, it's really hard to figure out what the hell all the settings actually mean, since it's been translated from technical Japanese to English from Japanese interpreters who aren't technical. Lolz. It's the kind of thing that looks like you'll mess something up if you click...

I'll have to attach the laptop to a truck of that era and look at the list. I'll get back to you pretty soon.

Bob, A local tow company brought a rollback in with complaints of having to regen too frequently. Like your trucks that sit running with the PTO on, rollbacks accumulate many hours sitting with the PTO in use, and do many short trips. We had set the truck up with the 'rental flag' set to 1...
