The ABS light being on causes the torque converter to unlock and it'll shift weird (and can cause the transmission to overheat) Have the ABS light looked into soon.

It's a Mercedes with a Freightliner badge. For Sprinter anything I visit www.sprinter-source.com.

Check the ground strap between engine and frame. Driver's side.

The OP never replied, so I don't know what happened. Describe what your truck has been doing. What have you checked?

I'm down in Tampa for a Cummins training class and I rented a Tesla. I expect a lot of funny looks this week.

That bulletin also applies to your truck. I've found that snipping a single wire in the junction box accomplishes the same thing. This is not a Hino-endorsed method, btw. Basically there's an output on the ABS ECU for turning on the ABS light. The TCM is also connected to that circuit. You...

The fuel system has several places that can trap debris, like the fittings going into the fuel filter and even the elbows coming out of the tank. Start at the filter, pull the fittings out of the filter inlet and give everything a good look.

What year is the truck?

One of our customers has an older Mitsubishi. Its got around 650k miles. It runs great. The problem is that they are much less common than other trucks, so you might struggle to find competent mechanics to work on it. I spent several hours replacing all the brake lines with Nicopp tubing because...

I recently worked on a truck with a leaking fitting on the fan clutch. You couldn't hear the large leak over the engine noise, but when you cut the engine off the fan clutch solenoid turns off, stopping the leak. With the engine at a low idle the compressor couldn't keep up with the leak, so...

I'd check the brake switch adjustment first. Its super easy to check and it can cause an instant power-no power situation.

Good question. Those parts are made by meritor. I don't really know, I reuse the fittings when I make brake lines.

We have some customers that would buy electric trucks tomorrow if they were available. Not for hauling cargo, for traffic control and crash barriers.

I did some searching for Ford 3.5 Ecoboost misfire and there are a ton of reasons. I'd skip the snake oil and find someone to diagnose it properly.

Many things can cause a multiple cylinder misfire. I'd spend more time finding the root cause before considering the nuclear option.

I think ghosting us means it worked.

You mentioned the check engine light is on. What codes were set?

I'd get a look at the blue/black wire connected directly to the battery (may have to pull insulation back to identify it). It goes directly to the 100 amp fuse. Maybe the ring terminal is corroded at the crimp.

I'd definitely revisit the battery connections. There are at least three wires connected to the positive side and it's very easy to overlook one and leave it disconnected.

I have not seen one in person, not do I know of a kit. PTO is an option.
