2007 International 4400 Various Issues

I got my truck back yesterday. Seems to be running better than ever. They stuck to their price quote and threw in spots of mechanic oil/grease on the steering wheel, seat belt, door pull and seat for free. THAT is why I hate taking my truck to a shop to get it serviced. The workers in the back don't give a crap if they get grime all over things. Not their problem. Sad.

Anyway, they charged me about $500 for the oil cooler. When I was getting parts pricing to just do it myself, I got a quote from an out of state parts dealer (an International dealer no less) for $190 for an OEM kit. That seems like an absurd markup. I asked my dealer if I could supply my own OEM parts in sealed box, but they said no. So they bend you over for labor and parts... plus the oil all over my interior is the icing.

Oh yeah, I forgot about one little extra bonus they threw in... on the drive home from the shop, the Check Trans idiot light came on. I assume this relates to the Allision automatic and not a gender-confused individual.

I noticed that all functions of the transmission are working normally (as far as I can tell), so I suspect it is a wire or sensor that got bumped. The one oddity that I noticed is that the LCD display in the dash cluster is always on Drive, despite the transmission showing R, N, 5-1, etc.

I'll go find the method for reading codes through the dash cluster since my OBD reader didn't work out.

 

Having a heck of a time finding Bluetooth (or WiFi) OBD readers that support heavy truck protocols. The "standards" seem to be J1587, J1708 and J1939. Can anyone help me with what protocol my truck uses?

 

Thanks for the suggestion, but $700 is pretty steep for a weekend user on a farm truck. The International place charges me $90 to read and diagnose the codes. That's a lot of visits for $700. There is a convenience factor though.

None of which seem to match my engine/year.

I'll take a look and see if they have something less expensive and maybe not as "professional".

So my truck speaks J1708?

 

Should be good enough to determine serial break...
