fjh Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Hey Guys anyone Know if A 2018 MR mp7 will hold out on a Regen with an active Engine brake Fault ! WE have been Fighting with this asshole thing for a Week! various Codes all satisfied now! Have replaced ahi , number 7 and the regulator tweeked to over min spec No Rat Chewed Wires, still shuts down on a forced gen 1 minute into it Only fault active is the engine brake! No Brake / Valve in stock! Just asking E service is A joke! Edited January 13, 2019 by fjh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Sure it’s not parking brake code? I’ve had a few cut out in the middle of a regen due to intermittent parking brake sensor issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjh Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Thanx Pro for the suggestion but Naw! WE will check it again thou it weren't throwing codes for any other vehicle issues only engine emission crap! the last thing was a low pressure issue that has been corrected with the new regulator were now left with this engine brake code ! Start the REGen it ramps up the rpm for minute then gives up in typical fashion and the usual The BLANK STARE from The tech tool! Instead Saying something useful like this regen was terminated BECAUSE BLA BLA! No reason Just gives up! and leaves you guessing Grasping At Straws, Bunch of Crap! ALWAYS leaves you Guessing and throwing Parts at Shit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I feel your pain. I just idled my derated Star into the dealer at 3am the other morning. And as if these new engines aren't bad enough....this time the problem was $1800 worth of wire harnesses that the dealer has been poking a test light into and now they are all rotten and failing. Then I finally find out why this truck has been a lemon all along. It's what they called a "hybrid bastard lemon" It was built with a mix of old and new emission system on this DD15. They had a hell of a time even trying to find the proper replacement harnesses for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fjh Posted January 14, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2019 Yup Bull ! it seems Very little is standardized they are for ever changing shit on a moments noticed its Rampant thru out the industry ! I was doing a truck inspection on a 2018 Pete the other day and was admiring at the spring brake cans on it You can no longer install a PIGGY back on the new brake pots they are one piece no clamps Period so now instead of 15 min to a half hour to change a brake pot Its now has become necessary to replace the whole thing! AND heaven for bid you have the right clevis for what ever slack adjuster is installed ! Worst of all got me paying attention to our own new trucks AND GUESS WHAT We are using this stuff as well! Nothing is left untouched these days! IMPROVEMENTS ? OR Captivation At Its Finest! So if you got to go out on the road to change a brake pot you better take half the parts department with you cause your gona need something you don't got! As well as a Grinder to adapt the rod bla bla bla ! New Rules of engineering ! Sorry that's an old rule revisited ! If ya got something simple that works ! Redesign it to be over complicated or unreliable ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just work on the junk😣 Oh wait no your right the Joke is still on me! 😡 Glad it's not you that's in for the never ending repair bills then! My dad and I are picking up a 1988 rd6882 tri axle with a new frame (guessing 5 years old) new camelback (5 years again...) rebuilt rears (5 years...) a rebuilt 300 horse with a T2070! About the only thing wrong with the truck is duct taped hvac, some mold on the dash, and it's the wrong color. Price? $21k! Thats how you buy a truck. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bullheaded Posted January 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2019 Solved my emissions issues. Just got home from picking up my new ride. I forgot how glorious mechanical motors are to drive! So between this and the 2013 Star, I know which one I'll be using most. Just gotta do a bit of body work where it has been dented in a few spots, some paint and good to go. Plastic wrap is still over all the interior, never been taken off. All the headliner, bunk walls, etc. Only the driver seat bottom cushion and the steering wheel are wore. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPS or ELD tied into the data link. It's the first thing we do now when the truck is in triage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Not long ago Mack/Volvo came out with a service bulletin on how to correctly tie a Qualcomm/ electronic log to the data link. As Bbigrig said , first thing we do is make sure we’re plugged into the factory harness and not some add on jumper harness that looks like the factory diagnostic plug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sucks too because some, especially on the Volvos, come in and the plugs look like the factory data link. Wastes our time having to unscrew the dash to make sure its the factory port. It's usually these low cost ELDs that connect with a phone app we find tucked away in the dash. Edited January 20, 2019 by bbigrig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjh Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Well it Really sucks when you got a garbage truck that has been working fine for over a year and some @sshole goes and stuffs a gps in after the fact ! Its bad enough you got to chase down rat chewed wiring then to be scrwewed over by some techy dude puting in an addon unit into the mix! SUCKS THE BIG ONE!
