SpeedCo basic PM failure...here we go

Back at it posting on good ol Truckers Report, Here is my latest drama...

Owner OP here, took my truck in for a basic PM at speedco. Waited outside, Not too bad 30mins. Pulled in the bay and from start to finish it took 3Hrs 57Min logged on e-log. Part of that was due to them being understaffed...no big deal, but the tech physically stopped mid job got in his car and left... so here are my issues below.

- Truck lost prime bc dip #### took fuel filters off
- lube tech came back and filled the truck with 2 gallons EXTRA...

they told me alright, your good to go. Pull out. This was before I knew there were issues. I went to crank the truck. They told me cycle the key to prime it.... keep in mind its a volvo an has a manual hand primer... but hey, maybe he knew something i didnt ... after I primed the truck it seemed ok...until I pulled it out of their bay.

the truck threw a fit, fuel filter warning, the oil pressure gauge was jumping from 45psi to 65 back an fourth surging... i advised the tech something was seriously wrong and i needed to back up into their bay... he told me that their rule was they do not allow trucks to back up (even bobtail) and told me the only way for them to fix their mistake aka "take a look at it" was to pull it around the street to the rear entrance of the building... which i video recorded and did... the truck barley moved, stayed low rpm's and only 2nd gear. it wanted to die and was extremely shaky ...

pulled in the shop, explained to the guy what was going on he said oh yea sounds like a bad fuel filter...and i explained the oil...they checked it and was yelling at another guy who worked there blaming it on him...

eventually they got it back to running - i made them document this on the reciept and i called in to the complaint line. the GM called me and said take it to another store an they will check it out an make sure it was done right...and that i would get a "discount on next service and that I'm covered if anything goes wrong meanwhile"...

- my questions for the pros on here... could i have blown a seal? I've been smelling oil ever since the PM. never smelt anything before.
- the truck threw an injector 1 code after the service...probably because it was starving for fuel... but never had any issues before

- truck runs fine now, they spilt oil everywhere under the truck but the rain washed most of it away...

do you guys think i'm okay? or should i take it somewhere for some tests?

 

Thanks for the reply, rear main is only a few thousand miles old. Should be good there.

Injector code is not present anymore. Drove 400 miles today with ease.

 

Yea I agree, dealer wanted $490 speedco wanted $290. Figured it would be a quick stop in and out. Can't screw up a oil change...apparently you can.

It's a D12. I will do it myself from now on. Jeez. Unreal lol

 

On the driver side fuel tank is the main sensor .You may be able to un-plug it and clean it up a bit with a small wire brush. Spray some electrical spray cleaner/anti seeeze lube on it...see if it helps. Shine a flash light down in the tanks make sure your floaters are good. May be able to move them around with a coat hanger to see if you can unstick them ...
