The FreightShakers are the troublesome ones at our shop. If it isn't an issue with the DEF system, it's a wiring issue in the Freightliner wiring. We have had very little if any trouble with the Detroit Diesel engine harness itself. Now that the wiring issues have been pretty much sorted out (for now), it has been solely problems with the DEF stuff. Many,many plugged DEF nozzles/injector, whatever it uses. We also just had this issue with our brand new Volvo loader. The mechanic for the loader told our boss it was a plugged DEF injector, and our boss told him that was the same issue we'd had with out Freightliner trucks. The Volvo mechanic seems to think it is a problem with the totes that we get our DEF in. We have a pump and nozzle with a filter that affixed to the top of the tote so we can fill the trucks up as they leave. We have used many totes of the DEF, so I find that hard to believe, but I don't know. The Volvo mechanic said to try filling everything with the 1 gallon jugs to see if the problem goes away. That was a month ago, and the loader runs all day every day, and we have not had any issues since. We won't know really about the Freightliner trucks, they get used very little in the summer, we won't be using then much until fall, and won't be used hard until winter. After all the wiring issues with those Freightliner trucks, we switched to Peterbilt 2 years ago and have had no issues with those.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
