Mechanics lack of knowledge regarding shutdown events, codes etc??

Thanks for the reply - nope, definitely a series 60. Yes, it has DPF but no DEF.

 

GRAPEAPE, Thanks for all the great info.

the guys who came up with the number three make me laugh. sometimes i have upward of six faults

i was just looking for general info for when this all happens again, but thanks! it just irritates me that with my truck it’s always been ONE thing shutting the truck down at a specific date and time, and with all the computer crap no one has any idea which thing shut it down

 

yeah funny you should mention this...this has been a problem for me. it seems like there are a number of things that can go wrong to create too little or too much pressure in various places that can cause either fuel to burn too hot or not enough fuel burning and too much air which makes other things burn hot and blah blah blah - thanks for the comment

 

Thanks for the help. Yeah i was totally surprised by the number of mechanics who don’t wanna listen to any info I have that might help them fix the problem. I saw a bumper sticker on a tool cabinet - “I don’t tell you how to do your job, don’t tell me how to do mine!!” I needed a starter once, and there was a mechanic in Louisiana who flat-out refused to put one on because he didn’t think the starter was my problem. I kept telling him - “LOOK, I’m paying you to put on a new starter whether I need one or not, so what’s the problem?? You make money either way.” Finally he replaced my starter, and sure enough it fixed the problem i had, and then of course he suddenly acted like our whole “gimme a new starter” discussion never even took place.

 

haha

 

thanks - i'll add this to my long list of things to check!
