Don't look at me!

Warranty work. Injectors, DPF, and we're gonna take a good look at the DOC and SCR.

A new forum member has one of his trucks at my shop. This guy won the free parts lottery. ← beer.

I'd previously mentioned using Permatex Right Stuff RTV when doing an oil cooler reseal. Idk, the Hino red rtv works pretty darn well. I think I'd picked up a tube that had been compromised and it didn't work worth a damn, but recently I grabbed a tube and it was perfect. Right Stuff doesn't...

I dont think that will work.

Chinese counterfeits often have several clues that give them away. This is why I want pics of any letters/numbers.

I don't think you can tell. All internal. Take some up close pics of any numbers you see.

Modern ATF formulations can contain something like 37 different ingredients. Only about 70% of it is oil by volume. The rest is friction modifiers, viscosity index improvers, antifoam, anticorrosives, etc. Traditionally, slushboxes had vane pumps. Only in the last 20 years or so have gerotor...

I just realized this thread was started in 2011.

I fixed the AC on a Freightliner M2. Worst design ever. Let's put aluminum on steel then add road salt. Brilliant!

For those who are interested: there is a truck in the shop with a shiny new VNT controller. Problem is, it's the wrong color. Turns out it had been 'remanufactured'. Source unknown to us. The servo portion works, but the CAN line has some deficincies. In other words, it's broken and puts the...

Did you find the leak? I pulled apart an engine the other day where someone had kinked and cracked the line and had soldered it back together. We all had a good laugh.

Don't wear tennis shoes. You can't run when it's already burned into the meat.

Afton Chemical affiliated here. I used to run the Timken 4-ball and block/ring (forget what it's called now) test rigs. You're correct. Nothing but a properly designed lubrication package passes the Timken tests, especially when run for double the weight / twice the time. A bottle of Lucas...

The black/blue wire is going to the chassis fuse box to the MAIN fuse. If no power when you turn the key, you simply have a bad connection somewhere.

This ought to keep you busy for a while. I hope you have a multimeter.

If those are genuine Denso and not Chinese counterfeits, then they'll work. The thing is, the latest Denso injectors provided to Hino have been modified with a diamond-like coating on wear surfaces that keep them working well for much longer. Also, the calibration codes on each injector need...

Excellent. I'd be tempted to fill it with cosmoline, but I don't know if that would help or somehow hurt it.

6.0 Powerstrokes are infuriating piles of crap.
