I've been working at Volvo trucks dealer as spares department for a while. Made a switch now to work as a mechanic. You are still young, I give you few pieces of advice, wear personal protection. Gloves, safety glasses and hearing protection are must. Also, when changing dpf cartridges, wear proper mask. Don't destroy your body, with chemicals and bad ergonomics. :) Seen too many mechanics retire early, by destroying their bodies. 😮
@@ifgezroxy thank you for the advice I really appreciate it. I did learned the importance of wearing proper PPE when I got a piece of metal in my eye and got a rust ring lol.
I'm glad they are mechanic out there to help people who can't afford to carry there vehicle to the shop and sir a great big big thanks for just wanting to help 🙏🙏👍👍 especially on a diesel 😅
I've worked at a few high end car dealers as a service advisor.. this dudes diag skills are on a totally different level.. Someone tell this dudes boss to keep him at any cost..
You make it look soo easy, it's probably because you've been around the block, every time I get a cummins 6.7, there t/s seems to loose me every time!!
I have a 2019 International 4300 series with the Cummins engine and a Eton transmission automatic 7-speed with 190,000 miles and 4,600 hours on the engine. It runs fantastic but my only concern is when I go up a long hill my truck struggles and runs max 45mph struggling. Is that normal or do I need to ask a mechanic to max out the power in the engine with software?
Little late here, but unless you're pulling a ridiculously steep hill then I'd say you have an issue, do you have any fault codes showing on your dash? I'd bring it into a shop, but for a quick check you could look at your air filter ( don't just trust the restriction guage as they can get stuck, actually pull the filter out and bang it on the ground to check if it's dust packed) then check for any boost leaks, ie damage to any of your cac hoses, loose clamps etc, and check the air compressor feed hose as they like to blow near the bends, then using a flashlight look for any signs of soot around the exhaust manifold, turbo mounting face, and egr cooler etc. Any of these things can and will cause a low power issue, could also be a restriction in the fuel system, so check your fuel water separator, and main fuel filters aren't old/ getting restricted. Hope this helped if you haven't already figured something out.
Love your content where is your shop located I have an electrical issue on my kenworth t680 Paccar engine. Every time i turn on my ac my check engine light turns on. For some reason it trigers accelerator pedal Code (spn 91)
People also have no idea they have ford semi tractors/trucks that came with any kind of engine you wanted from the factory. Just like any other big truck a ford could have came with a Cat, cummins, detroits can all be in a ford.
on the medium duty trucks can you do EGR deletes? I know for light duty trucks, like the rams you can do the deletes on the 6.7 diesel, not sure if you can do it on the medium duty?
What seems kind of sad about this one is that it looks like an imt body on a service truck… 🤔 I feel like the owner mechanic should have caught this unless it’s a shop truck for you guys or a bigger company who didn’t have the staff to work on it. Either way, Good work man.
I have problem with isb 6.7....coolant temperature gauge takes 1 hour to move a little bit up, when cold runs cold, when hot outside running on hot side(no overheating) but hot. I changed thermostat and fan clutch, cap, nothing. Turbo works but weak. Do you have idea what could be? Can't figure out 3 months
@MarcoNiki I would check your thermostat. Sometimes they can be faulty out of the box. Also delete your emissions its gonna cause a lot of long term issues. Maybe check exhaust brake function (weak turbo problem). Otherwise not sure might save you money to get it looked at.
What’s your coolant temp showing on data PID. The data temp is vital for running performance and even won’t regen until engine is up to temp. May use a laser thermometer on your hoses and at thermostat to check for accuracy
Love the videos! Just starting my RU-vid channel and it will be about mobile breakdown repairs and situations. Do you use anything for your shorts editing? Editing is a pain lol
Start by checking your fueling on engine is the injectors ok not over fuel? (rolling coal) Also air filter not clogged? Egr stuck? Are you using the right oil? Check injector in the dpf.... When you try to regen is the dpf getting hot enough? Hows the noxs sensors reading? hows the dpf pressuse sensor? Also if dpf is to clogged dpf wont regen.... Remember once youve carried out regen you have to replece engine oil and filter.
