Was there evidence of a blown head gasket? Usually you see evidence of leakage past the graphite seals, which are located in the space where the liners meet each other. They'll either look distorted, or a piece will be missing. Places I've seen gases enter the cooling system: EGR cooler...

Yeah, those hoods are something else. They changed suppliers with the new models. You can get the radiator tanks separately. Whether you can keep them from leaking is an entirely different matter. Sent from my DROIDX using EO Forums mobile app

I will have to check. Sent from my DROIDX using EO Forums mobile app

Well, that sprinter showed up again, same problem, stuck in limp mode. The fluid had stopped migrating, but the tcm had died. Was supposed to be sending 12v to the transmission, but was only managing six. I visited the sprinter graveyard out back and found one. Instantly fixed the problem...

Oops. You're right, it's in the cab. Maybe it's the earlier ones adjusted at the drum. Idk. I hopped over to www.rockauto.com, which is my favorite site for buying car parts. They've recently started listing some commercial truck parts, too. Nothing listed for parking brakes on a Hino (but...

Somewhere like truckpro might be able to get the entire assembly, aftermarket, for that price. Like for an International 4000 series truck, or something. Leave the backing plate bolted to the back of the transmission rather than taking the whole thing off and doing it on a workbench. It's...

Where's the hood? Lemme guess, it cracked so bad, it was about to fall off. It looks pretty good to me. Actually, now would be a great time to do some maintenance. The radiator fins get horribly clogged, but it's not noticeable until the condenser and intercooler are removed. I'd...

I've not messed with it, but there's a fleet version of the diagnostic software that sounds reasonably capable, in which case they should be able to give you something. Glad to be of service!

No problem. A few other things, a DX report will show you system protection data.. numbr of overheats, max engine rpm obtained, etc. Get that report. Is this thing on airbags ? They seem to tilt and sway, but that's easily fixed by adding another height control valve, one foreach airbag. Much...

I think it's under the truck, at the end of the cable, rear of transmission, at the drum on the end of the trans. This style, available on many trucks, is famous for grenading. Make sure it's not flopping all around before adjusting it. Sent from my DROIDX using EO Forums mobile app

Hi Jeff. I know diddly about spec-ing a truck. I just fix 'em. As far as cruise rpm is concerned, no idea. I'd test drive it. I despise the C7. No removable cylinder liners, the HEUI system likes to grenade and send metal through the injectors, weird things happen with the valves, and they...

This is yet another perpetual motion machine, none which have ever worked, ever. It violates the Clausius statement, Carnot's principle, and the Second Law if Thermodynamics. The closest anyone will get to free energy will be wind and solar power. If one lives next to an active volcano...

I've got tons of people pm'ing me and emailing me, lol. I should become a consultant. Sent from my DROIDX using EO Forums mobile app

I've only had the dash apart on an FB, and that was a long time ago. Generally though, most of the times where I've seen a door accessory problem, the umbilical cord between the cab and door is the culprit. As the doors open and close, the wires inside flex. They'll flex thousands of times but...

No need to apologize. On each cylinder, there are four valves but only two rocker arms. The crosshead sits on a post, with each of it's arms on the two intake (or exhaust) valves. The rocker arm presses on the crosshead, and the crosshead in turn presses both valves down simultaneously. The...
