DD15 won't run

Do mechanics not even try and troubleshoot anymore? I hate it when I can't nail it first shot. It's a pride thing lol. Hope they get you up and running soon.

 

The majority don't. I have $4500 in receipts for a/c repair to prove it.

 

did you pay that $4500 from your pocket ?

 

Guys like that make the rest of us techs look bad. I always troubleshoot and if I'm not 100% sure the part I'm looking at is the cause, I keep diagnosing. It's a real blow to my pride if I misdiagnose a failure lol.

 

Yes. Kinda hard to make someone else pay to fix my truck.

 

If I hadn't put my foot down at the dealer in Albuquerque, the third dealer I'd had it too, it would have been more. I gave specific instructions to clear all body controller codes before doing anything else. When I came in the next morning I was told I needed two flapper door motors and a pair of thermistors. Those were codes that were in the system when I bought the truck and had never been active. I told the service writer to get me a mechanic who knows how to read english and troubleshoot or close the ticket and I'd go elsewhere. ( I used slightly stronger langauge. ) 4 hours later my truck was finally fixed right. No flapper motors and no thermistors involved.

 

well Albuquerque's freightliner is different world. )))) another crazy place is Tucson's freightlier. few years a go I saw mechanic there with tattoos that ms-13 members usually have )))

just wondering did they fix your truck? what was the problem?

 

So they told me the spin wheel on the intake cam broke which is why the sensors were not reading the cam/timing...im waiting until they replace it. I dont know how that thing just broke

 

not spin wheel. the tone wheel.. ok
