    A sticky valve can cause erratic results on the relative compression test. How long has it been since you ran the overhead?

    Just have the dealer try to fix it. Once you have 4 codes, it’s going to be tough to try to fix it yourself. I have the Detroit repair instructions, but they contain a lot of technical terms. Take it to a dealer in a large city where they have a lot of technicians. Someone there is going to know how to solve it.

    Hi,

    I did valve adjustment first and after a month Freightliner did the cylinder compression check.

    Above codes coming and going off, but
    Yesterday i had new code came up
    spn 3720, fmi 15.

    Took the truck to my mechanic, said dpf filter full. Based on the above old symptoms, he said better change 1box iso putting new dpf filter. However, he said take it to the dealer and get the 6 fuel injectors checked first b4 putting new 1box.

    That is the code indicating that the DPFs are full.

    You need to be in the Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) DATABASE as the owner. You just have to produce an ownership record to any dealer and they are spades to register you. Although I've seen some reluctant dealers as well as dealers that aren't aware of this and will look at you like you're nuts. Then primary benefit is that you will get a letter in the mail of any recalls. You'll also get access to DTNA login with Parts Pro and electrical schematics, etc. for your VIN only. And I spider them let you purchase DDDL.
     
    armo and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

    Everyone, If your truck is an automatic and you disconnect your speed sensor you'll most likely have to pull the abs fuse as well and you'll have to run in manual with no turbo.
