Yeah I saw the post. Thread 3210. I see the picture with the straight edge across the face between the two. I see you got the DDC remanned DPF--which i generally like. I'd call CSC on that one. Seems like poor quality from whomever makes these outer shells for the ATS. I can talk to my ATS guy here. He might have an idea--but I'm guessing the quality control or shipping bending it. Might be worth making a new thread and not hijacking this one.
these pictures are not mine. not my truck or dpf-s. I copied pictures from there to here. I can point to many parts on dd15/Cascadia that is bad designed or have low quality. and truckers pay for that.
I see. I know that FTL uses several different suppliers/vendors when getting/making parts. This could very well be from a different supplier.
Its probably cm2350 if I'm not mistaken. 2014 and newer are one of those engines but not sure if it is the higher performance engine (485+ HP)
Last fill up. 2012 Cascadia / 450 ISX 1131 miles. 145 gallons. 7.8 MPG Lots of hills, and about 100 miles of BS slow and go traffic in that batch. Traffic is a killer.
Regularly cleaning diesel doser and changing and cleaning def line mainly besides this make sure you fix a problem as soon as it comes up and not just keep going until truck doesn't want to move anymore it's funny how many people do this.
Thats one thing most companies wont do it. Even those new drivers, they keep rollin without doing a pre trip inspection, next thing you know is breakdown, lose money for it, and o/o for short amount of time, they simply say being owner operator sucks. you bought a used scr equipped truck from a huge fleet, check those dosers.
What you described right there is exactly the term of "deferred maintenance." Then driver's wonder why their trucks always have problems... -_-
What's worse is what I just had. Took it for a complete PM, then look at the truck to find they didn't do half the stuff they are supposed to.
