'13 Prostar lugging

How many turbos? I've got two. When they whine, it sounds like a real truck.

 

Guessing that the dealer should know about this? But then again, I picked my truck up 4 weeks ago and would think that it would have been updated before i picked it up!!

 

Depends, some dealers don't see these on a regular basis, so the tech's don't have the experience on what are the more common failures. The ECM cal is the same way. It might say current on scorecard system(this is what the tech goes off of), but there have been newer revisions released that haven't been reflected back on the scorecard system. I always say try to update regardless of what the scorecard says.

 

They don't know about it until the warranty runs out....

 

If you're passing through Janesville, WI, hit up the Lakeside International shop there. Had them work on my truck twice, both times after my company shops had tried to fix it multiple times. They were good, truck was fixed, and once they did an ECM update just because they checked to see if there was one for it, and there was. Seems like they got it together there...

 

I think the Maxx Force engines are crap. As far as new engines go, I rather have a Cummins ISX or Detroit DD series.

 

Maxxforce isn't a real engine, its a hamster in a ball running from a kitty.
