Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

Isuzu, 6HK1 Euro-5, EGR only, no DEF, no DPF, no NOx-sensor

Manual cab tilt (no hydraulics, just preloaded torsion bar and muscles), sleeper, but very small and short cab, so it's no problem. Much faster to tilt than the large cabs with the (manual) hydraulic pumps. Until the torsion bar looses pre-load.....

I know, it doesn't look as nice as @spsauerland KW

Installing thermocouples in exhaust ports to measure individual cilinder temperatures.
Recording all messages on CAN-busses for investigation.

I ordered few NOx-sensors for RAM 6.7 yesterday, one of them will be temporarily installed in the Isuzu to monitor NOx-emissions.

Today's price:


Yesterday was my lucky day. Price was only $185.00.

 

Those 6HK's still cracking pistons?

 

I don't know. First time I work on 6HK.
Only 2000hrs on it. I hope it's still OK.

Was it a common problem on them?

 

Fairly common on the industrial 4HK and 6HK. Seen it on a few different ones when the heads came off for head gaskets.

 

Passion
Did they fix it?
Apperently yes.

 

I ASSume so

 

I’m in love ......

 

I've operated a few L series Fords over the years.
Pretty sure We could have the passenger seat & dog house Out & Bonnet (Hood to you) Tilted quicker than anyone could jack a Cab up..

 

Needs a delete

 

No euro truck can beat this........
