I've talked to someone about my issue already, but still losing power. On flat land truck runs fine. Freightliner Cascadia Detroit DD15. As soon as I start climbing hills I lose power. I get into Billings, MT to do my delivery then take it to I State freightliner. Takes them 2 effing dayz to diagnosis the issue. They finally say injector 2 is leaking. They recommend change all 6 injectors but my boss said change only the one that is leaking. So they change that only 1. We'll I finally get truck back 3 dayz later. I took it in Monday and just got the piece of garbage back today. Well, anyway, get back on I 90 head west and as soon as I get to hills the truck loses all power again. I was like wtf already!! My question here is, can my problem b because I didn't change out all 6 injectors?? Also my oil pressure seems way low. It's reading one line before the 50 mark on the psi gauge. Also I check oil on dip stick and it seems like mayb I have too much oil. Can that b the problem as well??
Lost of power.

The oil level rise is probably fuel from the leaky injector..
Loss of power is most commonly attributed to lack of air volume, Turbo, air to air.....Vpod..

Hey KingQ any idea on how to plumb one in? Is there a tutorial that you can link to?
Also, I just read about something called Scan Gauge D. It's a performance monitor. It seems to read boost psi as well as other additional useful info without the need to plumb/install anything. It simply runs a pigtail to your diagnostic port and suction mounts to your dash. Seems like that'd be the way to go.Last edited: Apr 19, 2014
