    Cummins 8.3 (6CTA)

    So I've been theorizing a bit. Generally speaking, the best BSFC numbers are present right before peak torque on these engines. This is based on various graphs I've looked at. It'd be nice to find the one specifically for this calibration though. BSFC tapers off past the torque peak, first...

    Big Truck I work on Hino trucks. I'll answer any questions I know the answers to.

    This is the high points of troubleshooting code P2030, burner abnormality. What I just talked about covers around 80% of scenarios. Things get weird when the mantle in the combustion chamber breaks, when the DPF slides out of its casing and crashes into the oxidation catalyst, when the turbo...

    Ok. So the DPF heating is done via a burner. It's the big combustion chamber in front of the DPF. In the front of it are an atomizer nozzle, two spark plugs (igniters), and a flame temp sensor. Above the nozzle and igniters is a big braided tube, which provides air for combustion. There are...

    Do you know whether the transmission is a FS-6306A or FSO-6306A? They have different gearing.

    Troubleshoot P2030 first. This is for figuring out the burner malfunction.

    Is the DPR graph at ten bars? If so, there is nothing you can do without Hino DX diagnostic software. The button will not respond. If it's lower than ten bars, stick your foot under the accelerator pedal lift slightly, and push the regen button again. Did it react? Sometimes the accelerator...

    2007 Hino 338

    I think it's 24 or 25 inches from center to center on the upper and lower shock bolts. Does the truck sway around a lot? Get a second leveler valve, put it on the other side, and segregate the air supply so that the right valve controls the right bag, and left valve controls left bag. This...

    How much is thing worth?

    I had typed 4100 earlier, but I'm blind. It's an International 4700. I shoved it out of my way with an excavator today. It's begun the slow transformation into yard art.

    The coolant level is initially low. As it warms up, the level rises and the alarm turns off. Does the coolant properly return to the radiator via the overflow bottle? Did the hose on the bottom of the overflow bottle cap fall off and is now inside the recovery tank? How old is the radiator...

    It's very common to have debris in the fuel system, and it'll cause a restriction that can seriously reduce power, sometimes without a check engine light. This is where I'd start looking. I've described some methods to do this in this thread.

    In case no one noticed, I really, really like sorting out regen problems. A lot. It's like my favorite thing.

    Loyalty or stupidity?

    You should have left the truck out there and taken a bus home. They love when drivers do that.

    They initially said dx only worked with xp, but others have said windows 7 works fine. You can download the latest drivers off of the Nexiq website. Im running whatever the latest version is.
