Hey, that's great to hear! When you said that procedure wasn't in the manual I was stumped. I had to drive a good 300 miles and the bad DEF light went out by itself. Not really sure why, but when I tried to get diagnostic codes it said there weren't any even though the check engine light was...

Did you follow the directions in the owners manual when you changed the DEF? I got some bad DEF and the "change DEF" warning came on at 3 a.m. on 95 in Eastern Connecticut. Lots of hills and not much in the way of open truck stops. It derated and had a real hard time getting up some of those...

If its the same as the 2011, use a thin flat blade screwdriver in the slots on the sides where the back meets the front bezel. Pry gently toward the bezel so that the blade lifts the edge of the back plate away from the housing until you hear it release. Do the top and bottom on one side and...

So I've searched and read all forums with the word "shock" in them, and I can't find a definite answer. I've been trying to find the source of a vibration in my 2011 Hino 258 LP for months. It has 24,000 original miles and the original tires. I've had the front tires balanced and checked for...

I honestly have no idea how much it is going to cost. What am I willing to pay? Let's just say I'm not going to put that in writing here as company reps often read forums that deal with their products. I'm cheap and I don't want to pay more than I have to, but once I get the price I'll know...

Update: Hendrickson came through with the Hino specs. Due to the utility body on the truck they upgraded the kit from the CA-190 to the CA-230 for additional roll stiffness. Still need an approved application, but since they have all the dimensions I don't have to crawl around under there and...

Ok, so I'm sick of having everything that's stored behind the rear axle tossed around by the factory leaf spring suspension. I've contacted Hendrickson about one of their Comfort Air kits (CA-190 seems right for a 258LP) and despite the fact that they manufacture the factory air suspension for...

Looks like I won't have to worry about this problem after all. 30 Hours to repair--wow!

Well, that didn't work out so well. They LOOK similar, but they aren't the same. I'll probably have to get a universal actuator and connect it to the factory lock. There's an unused lever arm that should accept the actuator rod if there's enough clearance to mount it in there. I might try a...

Actually, I was working out some details to post a follow up with what I found. First, the HinoSource website has all the information you could need on wiring. For some reason, 2011 model conventional trucks aren't listed, but the bodybuilder guides for 2012's are the same and chapter 12 has...

Going to put a remote start/alarm on my 2011 Hino 258. There is absolutely NOTHING online for wire colors/locations for HIno, but I've done enough of them to figure out ignition, accessory, and run wires. My issue is on the power lock interface. I've tested every wire coming in through the...

Did you ever figure this one out? I wanted to switch to LED's but had the same questions about how they would work with the DRL's. Keep us posted.

Just as a follow up, the MIL has not been seen for over a month. Backing the pressure off a half a turn must have put it in a range the truck likes!

Yeah, but at least I have 2 people who can see telling me what to do. That's the next best thing! Your observation that it's usually high is right on with Hino123's. That at least indicated the pressure needed to be turned down, not up. And if it's correct that there is a point at which it...

Oops. I did it last night so I went 1/2 a turn. Just starting it there was still a fault. Drove a couple of miles and no fault, and a few starts later no MIL. This truck tends to be fickle so I'll watch it and post if this solved the issue. GreasyT, when you adjust the pressure is it because...

Too bad. It would be nice if the parts were available separately rather than spend so much $$$. I swear this truck knows when I post. Monday afternoon for no reason the MIL comes on again. The DPF was at 2 bars when parked that day. Tuesday morning it was at 3 on start up. Drove to work...

Between this and the "Hino Burner Malfunction" thread it sounds like you're on to something. Is the fuel pressure regulator available separately? Maybe the new atomizers have regulators that have been updated to correct the fuel pressure issue? Nice work.

Well, it's been a couple of weeks since the MIL came on so here's what's happened since then: Nothing. The light came on Friday after work, so Saturday morning I double checked all the wiring connections and it was all tight. Later Saturday night I really wanted to have a look under the...

Had Boost. Call quality good as long as you had a Sprint tower nearby. No roaming with them. Also Boost and Cricket give priority to Sprint and AT&T so prepaid customers get bumped when it's busy and they also throttle data not allowing the fastest speeds. I ended up going back to Verizon...

Thanks. That is good direction. Since it just did a regen Thursday it's sitting at 0 right now so I should be able to get to the work I have scheduled. Normally I keep the dpf on the info screen so I'll pay even more attention to it now. I did go out and check all the connections of...
