Week of nightmares with DD15

I just now noticed that video, i can't freaking believe it. I guess there is a commercial and there is the reality i see everyday. I wonder what owner ops would say if you asked 100 of them about the dpf and scr systems on these trucks as well as down time for repairs and how they get properly diagnosed at the dealer after a boat load of money after throwing parts. It is really said what US trucks have resorted to.

 

You couldn't have said it better. I just love all the sales propaganda about how all these new engines can "diagnose themselves." Funny, because every time mine goes to the dealer it is nothing more than trial and error parts changing until they get lucky and correct the problem.
Add me to the list of people disgusted with all the new diesel engines and new truck build quality. I won't even buy another diesel pickup because of all the emissions issues. No thanks, I'll pay for the gasoline.

 

I would almost bet it's liner seals I've done like 7 in the last 3 months never seen problem with head but I have seen issues with the block in between the kits

 

Yes I am Detroit tech and yesterday was the first time on this web page then after looking more I seen where you posted that you had pictures and everything posted I felt pretty dumb and tried to erase my post but ooh well and yes they have changed material 3 times already for liner seals

 

I really believe the engine is a good engine with a little bit of maintenance not what's recommended but better like more frequent oil changes coolant service once a year regular air filter change fuel filters in my opinion oil is cheap insurance I don't know what oil change costs or coolant service but I've seen trucks with million miles no overhaul liners had no pitting still had cross hatch bearings were all good but guy changed oil at 10k sometimes 15k and that was Mercedes mbe I couldn't believe it myself

 

I've seen broken exhaust rocker shafts but it doesn't usually do any damage to head or anything just needs new shaft I have seen a ton of injector failures causing cracked liners and then it causes one box problems and will leave you stranded
