I will do that. In the event I need to have it looked at, do you know if it can be driven for a couple or few hundred miles until I can get an appointment? Or is it impossible to say without knowing exactly what the code is? Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

Crap. Did I post too soon? MIL came on today. Wasn't on when I parked, on steady 2 hours later when I left and staying on. Only 1 code, P141F. Is that an indicator of fuel pressure out of spec? Or perhaps I pinched a wire under the atomizer cover? It did a regen yesterday no issues. Now...

Fair enough. Should I ship you a case of Dr. Pepper?

Well, a lot of information has been exchanged via PM's, and for anyone else coming down this road next, here's what I decided to do. The tech sheets mentioned earlier by Hino123 are very easy to follow. If not for needing DX software this isn't a hard job. Hino123 added that with all the reseal...

Welcome, indeed! Hino123 has been a huge help to me. This is the best 1-2 Hino punch online.

Funny that you posted that pic just as I was composing this reply. You could be right about the two leaks, but from my experience with car dealers I've developed a distrustful nature. I'm sure most techs want to fix it right--especially if they get paid flat rate and have to fix it for free if...

I was wondering how to politely ask to see if they connected it to DX2. Telling them I want the burner event log is a great way to do that. Simply asking for the FC would be awkward if they hadn't done it. I'm used to seeing them listed on the invoice to prove what the problem was and why...

Thanks for the reply. If starting a conversation is equivalent to a p.m, I just sent one. It does only have 3800 miles, but as you pointed out, its out of warranty due to age. I asked them to give Hino a shout about it, but when it was thought to be just a fuel line it didn't seem to warrant...

Here's what's been happening since the last post. Took the truck into the local Mack/Volvo/Hino dealer.....that could be part of the issue. Here's what the invoice said: "3035 inspected fuel system, found atomization module wet. Need to replace the fuel line and nozzle that goes to the...

That stinks. But it's what I needed to know. Thanks again. It's going in Monday. I'll post results.

Well, that was kinda stupid of me...it's diesel fuel. The patch is brown on the ground, but it's diesel from somewhere in the burner system. I'm thinking a supply line, but I just can't see in there real good. I'll have another poke around with a mirror and see if I can identify where it's...

I was parking this morning and noticed a brown patch on the ground right under the burner area. Before shutting off the truck I took a look and there's a good drip coming off of the item in this pic. You can just barely see a drip on the lower left corner of it. I can't seem to get a better...

Thanks. The original owner did a great job designing the Knapheide body and overlooking no detail to make it perfect. I can't believe you're that slow-but its good to have an idea of the scope of this project even though I may never need it. There are 2 things I want to do to this truck, so...

Thanks, GreasyT. I checked the manufacture date and it's 02/2011. Perhaps this truck is ok, but I'll still follow the more frequent oil change/analysis recommendation. Sounds like the knocking would be pretty obvious. Given that I only drive about 10,000 miles per year that should take a...

I'm sorry to see the thread on Hino Trucks come to an end, but its nice to know there's a great resource here to turn to. I asked Greasy T a couple times about a couple of trucks we were looking at, first a couple of 185's (sorry--never saw your follow up asking if we got the truck. No we...

Ok, this time I looked through the thread and searched a little and I don't think this question has been asked or answered before. Looking at a Hino 258 that appears to be in great condition. Less than 5000 miles on it but has not been driven for at least 4 years, just sitting in storage...

Duh. Just found page 14 in this thread. Should've looked more carefully before posting. Nice work from all contributors on the subject. Several things I didn't think of. Better to keep looking for a 258 lp than mess around with changing tires--it's just not that simple. Sorry for the...

Got a question on wheels and tires. Really, a low profile 258 would be the best choice, but we're seeing some great deals on 268's in the c/a that we're looking for. Since we do a lot of curbside work, the lower the better. If a 268 was fitted with 19.5" rims and tires, would it be possible...

Thanks very much. I appreciate the quick reply. How would you get it out of white smoke reduction mode? You've already enlightened me on the exhaust manifold situation in a previous post. Thanks.

Morning GreasyT If you see this soon, what would cause the exhaust brake on a Hino 185 to get stuck on? I'm looking at a truck right now that will go on the block in about half an hour. Each time the truck is started the brake is stuck on and makes a whining noise. It goes out when you move...
