    That thing does fail occasionally. I know a couple of recent updates have been done to a few of them, so they must have found and fixed a flaw.

    Excellent questions! Find this short line on the engine. It's the fuel return from the injectors. You're gonna want to root through your magic bolt bin and find a piece of an old return line. Connect one end to the rocker box (the horizontal bolt), and the other to a regulated air supply...

    The air dryer purge valve should pop, then release a decreasing amount of air for up to 30 seconds. If it does this, the purge cycle is working correctly. The desiccant filter should be replaced periodically, especially in cold climates, as the air systems will freeze if much moisture is...

    I've never replaced a fill tube. It's been recommended, but no one has agreed. Other stuff: the hoods break near the hinges. Badly. Have a boat shop or something fix it before the hinge rips completely out. Replace the hood prop rod thing if its missing or ineffective. The hood should never...

    Canada, correct? If any hardware was missing on the tube bracket, it will break. They can rust too. When you replace it, make sure all bolts on everything nearby are installed. There is no bleeder. Fill new filter, crank until it starts. Never pressurize fuel tank to help prime, it'll blow...

    Tell them to do an 'SCV test'. Email you the .txt file. Then forward it to me and I'll graph it. While you're at it, get them to email you a complete 'DX report'. If you're dealer doesn't know what this is, call the HinoCare hotline and file a complaint.

    Tell him to hold the brake pedal up slightly with his foot, at least until he gets up to speed.

    This seems...unreasonable. Sure, have an oil analysis done.

    Don't manhandle it or the anchor clip will break. It untwists only in one direction.

    Here's the brake switch in question. The white button on the end needs to stay pressed in while driving.

    This is a clutch switch, but it works the same way.

    Brake pedal switch adjustment, no doubt. Twist to release, press in a few notches, twist back to lock it in. Either that or it's the one on the relay valve. Check pedal switch first.
