Welp, that wasn't it. Since last November, it's had the head gasket replaced on my dime at the local Hino dealer with all the filters and whatnot to the tune of $9k plus the dpf and injectors under warranty. Still does the p016f thing and I cannot afford to pay them to fix it again so here we are. I have taken some of the fuel lines apart and checked them for crap to no avail. I've cleaned the tank vent and line and it makes a whirring noise when I blow through it like the ball is spinning. Is it supposed to do that?
I do have a laptop with dx2 and the proper USB link and an Ancel tablet setup that does most of the same things minus programming stuff which was much cheaper. Can see actual vs target pressures on merged graphs and the actual drops a good 30MPA below target if I try to pass while going up a hill at any speed over about 40. When I let up, it then overshoots up to 20mpa above target before getting back on track and has recently put up a p0088 for overpressure on a hot afternoon. Fuel temp was about 76c when that happened. I cleaned the crap off the fuel cooler behind the side filter that afternoon and the highest I've seen since was 71c, without p0088 reoccurring. Also noticed a lot of wiggle in the actual pressure line at high speeds like +/- 10mpa in a sawtooth shape that usually centers on the target line. Is this an scv showing its 240k mile age?
Will try the system split with a fuel can test the next dry afternoon I get off and post back what happens, unless anyone here has a better idea?
Thanks, folks for all you do here!
