  1. I recently realized by holding the mode button and the trip resest button at the same time on our 05 Granites it will display fault codes on the odometer readout. Most of our trucks will display "no fault" after letting go of the buttons, but a couple display codes, for example 5050-14? Under the code, no matter what the code is, it also says M-136. What are these codes, and how do I determine what they mean?
  2. Very helpful site, thank you! I guess I worded my original question wrong though. There is a way to make every warning light on the dash come on at the same time for about 3 seconds, mainly to see if any are burnt out. I have done it before, but forgot how and am hoping someone can refresh my memory.
  3. I will soon be the lucky driver of one of our companies new 09 Granites. These will be the only 2 trucks in the fleet with the DPF, and nobody at the company seems to know ANYTHING about the system, all they do is complain and say what a pain in the you know what it is going to be. I suggested having the dealer come to our shop and have a small orientation on the system so everyone can get educated about it, but working with stubborn old drivers that is not going to happen, they would rather just complain about it and tell horror stories about "a guy they know" who told them something about them... Anyways, I am curious about the ups and downs of the system. Main questions are- -How often do I need to regen? -How long does it take to regen? -How often to service the filter, and is it a big job? -Can I regen anytime, or do I have to wait for a warning light or something -What happens if I interupt the regen process? These are not over the road trucks, rather they are quad-axle dump trucks, hauling mostly asphalt in summer months, usually 50-60,000 miles per year. Hauling asphalt usually means lots of short trips (1/2 hour at most), along with alot of idling time throughout the day. And finally is there a purpose to the goofy looking stack? It is a 4" pipe, but has a flat top with a cap, and the exhaust exits through a series of holes on the side of the pipe... The owner already removed these because he thought they looked dumb, I just wonder if that will affect anything... Any info will be much appreciated! Thanks!
  4. Somehow there is a way to check all the warning lights in the instrument cluster but I have forgot how...Anyone help?
