I experienced about 4 mpg on a few different work trucks.

It consumes more fuel to make the least amount of power than any other modern engine I can think of. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

It stayed put. That was three or four years ago and it hasn't come back.

The best answer I can give you is 'I don't know'. It sure looks like it presses apart, but there were no twin rear axle Hinos sold in the US (that I'm aware of), and no one I know can say definitively. Sorry, and good luck.

Excessive idling will definitely affect all of them, that's for sure.

That is totally unlike the trucks we have here. I can have some of the guys take a look at this picture tomorrow. It sure looks like it is pressed together, but I can tell you've been heating it with no luck.

Could you post a few pictures of both the general layout of the rear suspension and the pieces in question? Hinos of that era in the US generally have a typical leaf spring suspension.

Occasionally I've had to work on a sprinter, and it's always totally ridiculous. For example: Quit while you're behind.

I shouldn't be allowed near light-colored furniture.

It looks like Hino trucks have their own dedicated forum here in EO. This thread isn't getting removed, but instead no one will be able to reply to it. This will make searching for answers easier, without having to read a 92 page thread.

I'm gonna thank floridawheels for being the catalyst on this one.

For example: Phone rings. Frantic customer on other end. I'm immediately regretting answering the phone. "Hey man, I've got air leaking really bad out of a brake chamber. Is there ANY POSSIBLE way to fix this so I can get home?" Sure. Put in the cage bolt, tighten it all the way up...

I'd loved to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation. On a related note, I would make the worst service manager ever. I've got a big hole in my brain-to-mouth filter.

Yeah, sorry. I work on way too much stuff to remember specific things, like if sprinters have heater control valves or not.

We're looking at least $10k reduced to dumpster ballast right here. Whoever was driving also managed to put diesel in the DEF tank. The frame is also bent all to hell, but that part is easy.

I avoid Sprinters like the plague. Y'all are on your own!

Picture time! If you're gonna hit something, try and hit it with a part of the truck that's cheap. It would have been cheaper to rip the rear axle out of a truck than to hit the aftertreatment system. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app

In case anyone is wondering, Hino123 is also a Hino mechanic of high caliber. He knows what he's doing. Sent from my XT1585 using EO Forums mobile app
