    Hello to everyone, after a journey trying to fix this truck and through a couple of "independent" mechanics trying to figure out what's was going on, and $5000 after, I sadly had no choice than take it back to Detroit Las Vegas and problem solved! ($9300 after!), all leaks were fixed and the main problem was just remanufactured injectors that the DD15 didn't like, supposedly they installed "approved" and "upgraded" injectors by Detroit; anyway; truck hasn't have a problem ever since (I'm knocking on wood!) but now that I'm ready for the first time but freight has dried out enormously and I'm pretty much sitting at home stressed out thinking about the next step but bills keep rolling in!, Thank you all for the advices and concern from fellow truckers, your help has been appreciated and I hope this thread will help anyone if ever goes through a similar situation; Thank again.
     
    rachi, skellr and tucker Thank this.

    As an advice for fellow truckers going through Las Vegas, never, ever consider taking your truck to Freightliner Las Vegas! it's just simply a nest of thieves and a cesspool of scams! take my honest advice and stay away from this corrupt place or you will regret it!!
     
    rachi Thanks this.

    They mentioned that the "old style" copper top Bosch injectors are no longer used or functional by Detroit because of software and technology upgrade they were causing many issues, and those were the ones my DD15 engine had when I purchased it, so I assumed they replaced/installed the ones you mentioned. no more problems or check engine lights....(I'm still knocking on wood)
     
    rachi Thanks this.

    Yeah! that's what they told me, rebuilt copper top not good, because some B.S. that has to do with DD15 software latest update, Detroit didn't want to take back the old ones from the truck as core, kept saying they are the wrong rebuilt ones (Bosch)

    I‘m a new owner, I bought a 2011 freightliner cascadia with DEF truck. I have some question about my truck. When I'm driving on the freeway, the level 4 light of the regeneration is flashed 5 second, and then the engine is off . I wanna try to start the engine (just turn on the electronic), but the DEF engine light is off, and then there is only one red DEF level on the gauges. But I checked the DEF tank, there is full level. So sometime I have to try to start the engine about half hour to one hour. after that, when I turn on the electronic , at the same time the DEF engine light is turn on and DEF level gauge has four green level light on, then I can start the engine. When the truck's engine is shutting down, there are some fault codes on the gauge. I don't know what's the codes mean. 1. EEC 61
    2.ECU 1
    3.NO ENG
    4. SFU 49
    I don't know what is problem about the truck, so can anyone help me to find the problem and solve it?
    Thanks and greatly appreciate!
