Week of nightmares with DD15

All covered by MFG ?

 

Treat the rust?

 

Yup. Still an issue. My 2016 has been good so far. 175,000 miles

 

This is a great thread. Hitting all the points I'm dealing with now, except how hard it is to find liners. It seems there are none available across the whole country. Had a break down started back in January, big coolant puddle and all of a sudden a ton of blow by and back pressure smoke. Cyl 5 was dead, turned out to be a cracked liner. Finally got my hands on one and putting things back together. Hoping for the best with the other cylinders since we can't find 5 more liners. After reading this, I'm going to have my guy check that radiator pipe for our leak and condition of the remaining seals.

 

Funny how this works they make trucks to break down more often which already sucks when you spend all the money to get them and on top of this they break down so much they can't even make the parts to keep up with the repairs neccessary so you have a huge tag with no work and ungodly amounts of down time, the same exact #### is going on on the volvo side as well good luck trying to find a head or a o.h kit for a d13 2013 and newer best case scenarion 3 weeks to a month. They are trying to make sure everyone is going bankrupt in the truck business now days one way or another.

 

Sounds like a business opportunity. Order some more and sell them for a premium!
