    Thank you very much for your expertise and time GTS... I think I will just tackle the pads this time... For future information, at what thickness would you usually recommend replacing the rotors? Thanks again.

    Question about Hino 338

    Tapped them in with rubber mallet...ran it all day with no ABS light...NICE! I only run this truck 3-4 days a week on average...could this be a contributing factor to the rust formation? What are the things(if any) that I should be on the look-out for on a truck that is so lightly used? I bought...

    Question about Hino 338

    Thank you, I will tap them in... On the subject of when the light goes on... it does almost always stay off at higher speeds and will come on once the speed drops to 20-25 mph.

    Question about Hino 338

    Question about Hino 338

    I have a 2012 338 and the running light on the passenger rear works but the drivers side does not. All other functions (turn signal, brake, and hazard) work on both sides. Is this most probably a relay problem or a broken wire? (I have read that the power crosses over from the right light to the...

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

    After reading your post I decided to fill the def fluid to the 'full' mark indicator on the tube, so I could confirm my suspicions. It has not dropped at all...I have driven almost 200km mixed city/highway. Any ideas?
