I'm going to spend my day off watching, and re-watching these videos. We are so fortunate to have these videos. This is pure brilliance! Thanks Francisco...(I'm a company driver)
Well I think that you have talked about all the problems that I have had with my 2012 freightliner cascadia with the dd15 engine. I purchased my truck new and just after the 500,000 warranty expired (514,000 miles) my cylinder sleeve cracked. 90% of the problems you discussed I have experienced. Excellent video and very accurate. If you plan to own one you better budget at least $30,000 per year into future maintenance. Trust me you will need it
Shoutout from TAT Express out of Hutchins, TX
Great job bro thank you. Hopefully those in Freightliner engeneers will watch ur video and learn something
😂😅 yes, for real!
The DD15 is not a bad engine, most people still think the engines are pre EGR or pre emissions like the Detroit Series 60 (12 liter), N14, CAT. Those things ran forever, new engines require more maintenance. The things Francisco is mentioning, do not all happen at once but over time these are things you will encounter. Injectors will be your most expensive repair.
I bet those that didn’t like the video is because the own a truck with that engine.
I guess that I keep using my 12.7 another million miles.
Thanks for all your informative videos. Keep then coming
turbo12v series 60 engines are the best way to put money in the bank
It's been a rough year for me. At 830k miles my coolant turned black and they replaced the egr cooler. That was $8k. At 910k miles there was fuel in the coolant. The shop said they pressure tested the cups and they were fine and the cylinder head was cracked. That repair was $15k. I can't wait till the cylinder liners need replaced.
A lot of these problems are leaking oil which is not a big deal. The Cummins ISX seems to have catastrophic problems that will destroy the engine. You pick.
You said it spot on I diagnose repair and rebuild all these engines and I'm in the middle of build on a isx 550 with the valve face half of it broke off and down in the cylinder 105k on engine the isx is known for broken valve stems valve faces worn out cam lobes spun cam bearings broken cranks dancing cylinder liners and the brass captive ahs in the newer antipolishing liners that erode and desinigrate I rebuild way more isx engines than driptroits and the Cummins have far less miles on them as to compare to the detroits aka(driptroits) last good Cummins with out all the major engine Hardline problems was the n14 series I work on them all for 10 plus hours a day and in those hours 6 days a week sometimes 7 these are my conclusions based on repetitive repair and issues seen
Your videos are super helpful, we appreciate part 2 DD15.
Buenos dias don Francisco amaya grasias por ayudarnos con sus conocimientos en sus vídeos
I live in Brazil, biggest Daimler company outside Germany...’till then. As I can figure, all DD water-cooled powerplants are Mercedes-Benz OM-series engines. Great! Amazing powerplants here!
I have 2010 freight liner Cascadia. DD15. Overall it didn’t give me any problemas. I replaced the coolant container because it got cracked. I paid 135 dollars for it aftermarket. It didn’t fit completely I had to make some adjustment.
I see the second inyector had a little leak. I will replace it ASAP. Thanks for the information.
Francisco - Excellente Video, pero tambien hazlo en Espanol!
Muchas Gracias y Saludos!!!
Yeahhh :) very good video. Man after watching this one oh man too many common problems with dd15 bro.
Thanks for sharing
Tell me one modern emissions engine that doesn’t have plenty of common “problems “. They all suck. You could take a Detroit , a Cummins, a Paccar, and a Volvo and delete the crap off of them and they’ll all give great service with good fuel economy.
No more than any other engine on the road as I have already stated elsewhere I rebuild more Cummins isx engine with significant lower miles than compared to the Detroit dd15
I’d like to say that you are correct about the common oil leaks on the DD15/13/16 engines. But other failures such as fuel pump failures are cause by customers or other repair facilities not properly priming the fuel system. Also simple maintenance can definitely lessen the problems drivers have with these engines, and with the after treatment system.
I am an expert certified Detroit trained technician from California. I always do my best to try to inform customers about these engines.
devon deed - Hi there , do you work on trucks for your self or for a dealer ? If you work on the side send me a e-mail address so we could talk.
HIT List, where are you located
Arizona
HIT List, I'm in CA
devon deed - Np I go over there about 3 Times a month. I like to have a local guy that I could call everywhere I go.
I love your videos buddy. Keep up the good work.
I keep looking at newer trucks then I see videos like this and make me wanna keep my Columbia with the 14l d60s forever. I just inframed it 100k ago at the dealer. Should be good for another 900k miles.
Yes the truck is loud. Yes it is drafty. Yes it’s old. But yes I drive by broken trucks all day long.
Keep that truck, youll go broke with a new truck. Just fix it and keep truckin!
You are the man Francisco! Thank you.
Those are not oil leaks. It a DD marking its territory.
Aka driptroit
Had almost all the issues you mentioned in the first year, i bought the truck with 600k miles, its all started with fuel pump that destroyed injectors, dealer estimated 17k to fix, then oil pump, then injector cups that mixed fuel and coolant, then water pump, and a lot to mention, i worked on most of that my self and yet spent over $30k so far.
Mahmoud Yasin The truck had 600 k miles or km?
what year was the truck and yeah....600k or 600km?
if change feul pump before these all happened.then i can safe myself?
The biggest issue with fuel pump failure is drivers letting the fuel get less than 1/4 tank. NEVER let your truck go under 1/4 fuel level. You can tell if your fuel pump is bad you will hear a ticking noise from the pump or you will see bits of metal inside your fuel filter housing.
I WOULD RECOMMEND CHANGING OIL PUMP AFTER 500 K TOGETHER WITH PU SEALS ,I LOST AN ENGINE AFTER SMITH POWER IN SALT LAKE REPLACE THE PICK UP SEALS WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE REPLACE THE OIL PUMP ALSO, THEY HAVE A PRESS GEAR THAT TENDS TO GO LOOSE AND STOP PUMPING
Gracias por el vídeo you're very knowledgeable
Thanks for info towards the end I was laughing because I thought to myself what isn't a problem
I know right
Having the egr actuator problem now glider truck looking real good right now
Them goin away, get in while you can.....
Muchas gracias Francisco por tus vídeos son de mucho apoyo a nosotros los camioneros, quiero saber si tienes videos que explican del Def en cascadia 2011/2012... Gracias y que Dios te bendiga
Thanks for sharing my friend, im gonna hv to move close to you 👍👍👍
You are a Good teacher ever!
You're the man
Thanks for You're info
This is some good stuff.
Good job thank you for all the info I work
thank you for this video big help.
Thanks for your help witch videos good job!!!!
Great Video! Very informative ! To replace everything you have mentioned over the time, it may cost 50K-80K in parts & Labor
Thank you for sharing this.
Great job
This is a EPA 10 DD15, 90% of these oil leaks and o-rings getting hard, etc have been fixed with updated gaskets with the 2014 engine year. (2 fuel filters instead of 3)
EPA2010 was the first generation and almost all of the new production issues they found with it, were fixed as you said in EPA2014. They sell most of the update kits that fix EPA2010 engines still from the dealer. They sell a retrofit for 3 filter to two filter housing, changing it to the new 2 filter housing extends service life of the fuel filter.
Do you have any ideas as to how to hookup bypass's oil filter on DD 15 filter maker hookup on turbo supply line and I didn't like that
common dd oil leaks, DD13 cam housing cracks and leaks oil, DD15 cam housing leaks oil, coolant module, oil pressure sensor, oil pan gasket, crankcase breather, depending on year fuel pump, air compressor. DD is just like every other detroit they leak oil. later year front crank seal housing are aluminum and errode causing oil leak at front of oil pan.
model year 13 and older replace your oil pick up tube O rings it will save your engine.
Holy shit...you named every problems I've had with my truck. Smh
Demetrius Wilburn Cause that's what we see with them all the time. I'll throw injector cup seals and air compressor coolant lines in there too. let alone the emissions problems.
Thank you Francisco very helpful
My 2009 DD15 had the turbo replaced and a reman DPF filter installed by Freightliner 14 weeks ago.I had no issues for 12 weeks. Then another problem started happening. The regen cycle going down the road changes noise levels - quieter during the cycle and noticebley louder when the regen cycle is complete. This is normal. What is not normal is that now, at the end of the regen cycle going down the road, right when the noise level changes I get a check engne light. The light will remain on until I shut the engine off. When I restart the engine the check engine light is out and stays out until the end of the next regen cycle is complete and then I get the check engine light again. This doesn't happen every time but more often than not. I was able to get to my regular mechanics garage once with the check engine light still on. There had been 15 instances of a high temp on something. Sorry I don't recall the entire error message. They used a computer to force a regen and all temperatures remained in the normal range. I ah no issues for a week, then it started acting up again. I think that the regen cycle is not being completed as it should. I've driven this truck over 300,000 miles and have never changed or cleaned the dozer injector that you did in one of your videos. The truck has 907,000 miles on it now. With what I've written here do you think it might be the dozer injector or am I off track?
Amaya excelente informacion
thank you very much for your information. you are awesome.
It has DEF
But I think it has two diesel particulate filters under the steps.
Ok, do you have the DDDL software?
My mother drives a 2017 Cascadia believe its the DD15 engine. Would love the learn how to PM these big boys. Worked on gas all my life tho.
If your Mom is an owner operator , and you learn to PM her truck you will be an absolute godsend. Drivers are exhausted, stressed out like you can't imagine, and most are in a lot of back and hip pain after age 40, which makes them ripe for injury doing own PM on their one day off that's also laundry and Walmart day. On modern trucks we need DPF system wizards, bigtime. Love your enthusiasm Rice Man!
I’m in the process of buying a 2014 freightliner with DD15 and this video is scaring me.
Its scarier to have a Cummins isx or x15 engine with its abundant engine failure issues like broken valve faces or broken valve stems and their brass cylinder lines which erode away and the line drops down blowing head gasket crankshaft snapping at balancer and in-between cylinder 4-5 and carbon polishing issue that's where newer engines and rebuilds now put in the anti polishing lines with the captive brass shit shims and their cam lobes wearing out injector side most often I'm in the middle of a isx 550 rebuild now valve face broke and it ended up tearing up the line piston and took out the turbo with the debris only 105 k on it is much rather have a Detroit I rebuild far more Cummins at lower mileage than I do Detroit's where I work
They look shit to work on
@@doctordiesel5467 you just Detroit bias!! I've seen Cummins isx15 reach 1million miles with proper care and maintenance from the owner all that you just mentioned fail proof.. All dsl engines have issues but it's up to the owner to take good care, therefore it will perform for longevity
@@StickNclutch ya Cummins should buy that one back to see what they supposedly did right I rebuild more isx engines than Detroit's hands down and at lower miles period and our fifty ton tri axle wrecker with a lovely isx didn't make it past 110 k before cylinder six exaust valve let go and ate the liner and piston and turbo and truck has impeccable service that's why so many part number revisions and changes throughout that engine series life span and now its the x15 not Detroit biased I hate them all but telling you what I see every day and what I'm told by my buddies in the same field
@@StickNclutch and I have a question how many rebuilds did that 1 million miles isx have done to it to get their lol
you are a smart teacher
Thanks for sharing I have dd15 with 400k and already have half of problems you named
Leaking egr actuator
Injector cups fuel in coolant system
Two fuel lines to common rail fail almost got in fire
O ring for oil system fail and cause turbine bering fail , its ruined gear section and crankshaft
And now I have to replace damn engine dd15 crap
If I knew about these problems earlier I would save my engine , but official Freightliner don’t tell anything about this shit they only telling that dd15 most “reliable “ “ fuel efficient “ and powerful engine. I will swap series 60 into my cascadia and screw EPA shit
Dyatel8 the problem is whoever had the truck before u wasn't taking care of the truck point blank period..
I’m in the process of buying a 2014 DD15, with 400k miles, so not to do it?
It wouldn't hurt to have a computer ro plug in of one's own to help diagnose problems. Most problems can be fixed by the owner OP if needs be.
At 4:20, the oil housing. I have buildup around some of the bolts of something like acid from a battery. Best way I can describe it. It's white substance with some color from what I think is from the coolant which is red.
Is that something that be looked at?
I also do have low oil pressure warnings that comes and goes when I start the engine. I push the accelerator and it stabilizes before it shuts off. Thanks for your help!
Gracias paco :)
me gustaría ver tus videos en español, se ven muy instructivos, gracias
Casualmente, Hoy voy a subir un video para confirmar que voy a empeza a hacer video en español
Great video
Tengo un dd15 que acabo de agarrar de 8400000 milas. La cabina huele a coolant con el calentón . Que se puede aser?
Es el Heather core estA tirando coolant yo lo acabo de cambiar 70 dlls en Ebay
Thanks for this Video I've learned a lot about what to expect from my 2015 DD15 engine (525000miles) .
My question is if the cylinder liner is broken, will the check engine light come on??? I have white smoke coming out of the breather and penskee is replacing the turbo (MIL on chk engine not on) didn't see bubbles on deepstic. Heard a popping noise before the smoke started
I've had half of this problems
Thanks for the video
Has anyone Experienced main bearing or connecting rod bearing failures within 24 hours after an oil change on the OM 471 or OM 473 engines?
Is there a special procedure after the oil and filter change to prime the oil pump or the engine lubrication system ?
What better dd15 or commins 15
very good video thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, sounds like the dd15 is a piece of shit overall
zombie730 u aimt never jad a international have you
DD engines are actually very good engines if properly maintained. As you can see in this video this truck is not taken care of at all, looks very neglected.
Josh Nichols true that
Bruh ima tell you like Roger Mayweather tells the haters when they don't know shit about boxing!!! YOU don't know shit about diesel engines
My 2016 freight-liner temperature goes up at idle and while I’m going slow.
Can you help me I took it mechanic the could not fixed
How much are two injector harnesses for a 2009 cascadia Freightliner
This is one sad engine. I thought maybe if you delete the egr you would be ok. Its better to delete this whole truck get a glider with a series 60 or N14
Late model 60 series gliders are getting harder and harder to find. I'm driving a 3 yr old glider . At 125,000 miles the bull gear tore up suddenly and caused catastrophic damage. Warranty covered it ... You gotta be the soot police with the 60 series. And know that you ain't gonna get anything but re-manufactured parts for it. Aside from that, I kiss the ground this truck walks on!!!!!
Dumbass the 60 series has issues with the bull gear that can turn it into a boat anchor.
GsXr raise your hand and wait for permission to speak till then shut your suckhole before I tell your mom your on the internet again talking about stuff you know nothing about .
^^❄❄😭^^Triggered^^😭❄❄^^
Gs Xr They are few and far between. 813,000 miles on mine with no bullgear replacement. Used oil is analyzed regularly and no abnormal wear metals yet. All bullgear failures could be prevented by just doing a used oil analysis regularly. Wear metals will start to rise in the oil samples long before the gear fails and destroys the gear train. I drove for a fleet of 12.7 Series 60 buses. The idle time and abuse they got was unreal . I never had nor did i hear of another driver experiencing a bullgear failure. From 2002 up they eliminated the issue completely by doing away with the roller bearings in the gear and using a bushing design.
A lot of premature bullgear failures were due to rebuilders improperly replacing the bearings on the bullgear during an overhaul.
Maybe sometime you could do a video for freightliner cascadia front wheel bearing ,thanks
When the turbo compound is leaking oil do we replace the whole unit or just gaskets?
I got truck bring it to the shop twice still got coolant leak from the head gasket,
Can you tell what is going is that because of the gasket or block or need good mechanic?
Thanks in advance!!
I just got code SPN 102 FMI 18 on a 2014 freightliner cascades evolution DD15, what do you recommend?
This is very scary, I'll never stop regretting the day I bought this truck, I should have stayed company driver
Hi will the egr cooler leak coolant to ecr system?
Newer 2014 and up dd15s have most of these issues sorted out. DDs and volvos are the only two engines doing well at this time. Cummins is falling way behind the game.
What are you talking about I work on a few hydrovac trucks and the Detroit's aren't worth thier weight in scrap meanwhile the Cummins gives us zero issues
@@foxbodyguyeightyeight3672 its been a year since your comment. How do you feel now about detroit vs cummins?
@@cactusjack1806 the same
@@foxbodyguyeightyeight3672 well as I stated elsewhere I rebuild many low miles as in under 250k Cummins isx qsx and their latest pos x15 engine most of the Detroit's I rebuild in the 750k and up usually close or around a million miles occasionally a 500k line splits but its not as abundant as the Cummins in the middle of a isx 550 rebuild now valve face broke off down in cylinder 6 had the piston for appetizer then the liner for entree and for desert sent shrapnel through the turbo 105k on engine and this is not uncommon and their captive brass liners shim that don't last long in the anti polishing liners and blow head gaskets broken cranks worn out cam lobes pounded out liner mid stops from cylinder liner movent not overly impressed neither is paccar that why they had daf engineers a company they bought come in and design engine for them and build it themselves to start to get away from Cummins engines like ford to international on the power strokes I work diagnose and build them all I would take a driptroit any day even our big wreckers with the Cummins kenworth are nowhere as reliable as the western stars we have with driptroit power plants
@@doctordiesel5467 maybe I'm just lucky but while I was with that fleet the Cummins was fine and the Detroits were constantly having emissions issues but also these trucks were vocational low mileage high hours all pto work so I guess it depends on what you use them for?? Can't explain it I'm just stating my personal findings
Hi Brother thank you for all helpful videos , 2014 Cascadia DD15 , I have leak in oil return line ( the one you mention at time 6:55 ) , is there seal or what? can I fix it by my self or it complicated process? last question what cost fixing it ? thank you
Yes, it is easy.
Use 13 mm socket to remove the pipe bolts (3 bolts in total) and replace the seals
Good thanks
So Fernando in your opinion which engine is the best outhere right now. Year 2014 and up??.
Francisco anaya pregunta. Como sabes cuando pasa agua el dd15 a los injectores q reaccion hace el motor.
El coolant en El diesel y El diesel en El coolant, como saber cuando pasa es lo que quiere saber, verdad?
Se puede dar cuenta que la Luz que esta en los filtros de diesel de motor se pone roja y tambien cuando El tanque de coolant se llena de diesel.
Dejame saber si todavia necesitas ayuda en problema de coolant en diesel.
remoroma74 eres mecánico de dd15?
Papa, I want to ask you something, if you can answer when you have time please sir...
I am driving a 2012 Freightliner Cascadia dd15 , we by used and we fix everything, but i will be driving or parked and it may randomly cutt off!!! I mean total power loss, if I am rolling with a load 40,000+ lbs and I am rolling on the highway it cuts off bad, like 3 or 5 times, sometimes it gets bad, but if I am rolling it will try to power 3 times or 6 times and then it will come back on, all while I am rolling on the highway...
I am now at Stoops Freightliner, but they couldnt find the cause, but these guys never test drive it to duplicate the problem!!!
One of the owners, the $$$ guy said close it out after diagnosis, I think to save money, cause they want to give me another truck in a week or two, but I think they can fix it...
Do you have any idea what could be cause of it cutting off?
I did like already subscribed and shared on FB...
Let me know what you think papa ??
Gracias Amigo!!!
Peace and Love!!!
does all the dashboard lights come on when this problem happens to your truck?
like when you put the ignition on?
I had this problem... no eng on dash board... replaced relay in dash board.
It’s the PNDB. I had same problem. I changed mine and it got fixed
Hey Francisco.I have a 2009 freightliner cascadia w a dd15 engine. It has 937,000 miles and running good...But later on in time when it gets more mile.What would you recommend me to do. a inframe rebuild or swap it w another engine w less miles.
New rings valve and seals if bearings are okay do not change bearing new oil pump, it can run 1 miilons km more,
Can you please post life of all parts listed in your vedio in miles . Like after how much miles each of this part should be replaced to avoid road breakdown.
@wrxassa yeah rite! you beat the stuffin outta that engine if you only made it to 650k.
Good video
buenas noches francisco oye que sera acabo de agarrar un cascadla 2014 pero cuando voy corriendo y agarro un brinco o un bache la corriente se corta totalmente pero parece que vuelve hacer contacto y sigue corriendo no se si haz escuchado algo similar gracias por tu ayuda de antemano
I am driving and every now and then I’m smelling some type of oil coming through my ac vents. Smells like steering or trans not sure but I know it’s not engine oil or coolant what should I look for on a dd13 engine. Also what are sign air compressor is going bad mines has oil spots around it
Probably, your exhaust bellow is leak.
Your battery took a dump.
when it happened to me it was the oil engine cooler leaking into my cooling system did open the surge cap of the water reservoir stick my finger because it looked dirty there it was oil!!. thanks to my daily pre trip fixed on time.
Thanks for all your videos ...
Where is your shop located???
Are these older DD15 engines or newer DD15 engines with these problems?
francisco me gustaría que explicaras poquito del código del dpf ecc61 gracias
Tiene otro codigo mas, como este spn 5434 fmi 1.
Si me lo puede mandar para poder darle una mejor ayuda
MORE SENSOR AND MORE ELECTRONIC COMPONENT...AND SO MORE COMPLICATED...BETTER MORE OLD DIESEL ENGINE STILL MANUAL COMPONENT AND PARTS...
We used this procedure on this truck and one other that had the same problem. The other truck was fixed but this truck continues to have this problem. We also cleared any blockages.
Any other suggestions?
Does the DD15 has DEF?
My truck leaks a little bit coolant on the side of the egr should I replace it soon? And what should I notice on truck if it is affecting engine.
Thanks
If the leak is coming from the area where the exhaust manifold is located, that mean the the coolant collectors gasket is leaking.
If the leak is big replace it, if you see some coolant drop only it can wait.
The problem has not effect in the ENGINE functionality.
My truck started to turn hard on today, I had no leaks from the power steering hose or pump. I have never changed the filter in the resovior. Could that be the problem or will I have to replace the power steering pump or the gear box?
Maybe the pump
Hey Francisco am having this check engine on my dd15 say engine high code 128s155 00. What would be the problem.
En cuanto sale la bomba para echarle discel la los filtros disculpe?
Creo que como 200
Francisco the code 3713 has an fmi 31 number.
Check this video
ua-cam.com/video/EozE5jZ91RI/v-deo.html
Follow the instructions and do a regen after that.
Let me know the results.
Hey sir i got a code SPN 520268 I’ve replaced parts on the fuel rail and fuel module but not the fuel pump or the injectors because as get to speed over 70 it start to cut back. HELP!! THANKS.
Hola amigo lo podras mandarlo en español porfavor
I have a problem with F/L DD-13 eng it idles fine sometimes it makes a funny noise when you start it up.when running it runs with a miss today it had a code of. MS. SA49. SPN520201. 03. When i drive and stop the high exhaust temperature lamp comes on. Engine has 215.000mils but old parts from the old engine were put on it .l have gotten pretty good with it watching your videos everybody down here in Texas watchs them. I would appreciate anything you can tell me thanks.
What is the year of the DD13 engine and the truck?
Thanks 4 the video,big help to lot of people,what’s ur address?
Can you make video how to change turbo on DD15 please!
Yes, I will do it as soon as I can.
Holly fuck so basically just sell my DD 15 after 600,000 miles lmao
we have plenty of trucks frequent our shop with over 700k 2 just rolled a million all with dd's
red66chevy so basically after 600,000 you're going to frequent a shop pretty often?
It's not the same trucks every time,
I have worked for the same freightliner dealer for 10 years basically since the DD came out, I know all their problems (freightliners problems too) . Wiring is always an issue on the chassis side, if you replace the engine related harnesses when you have problems, instead of patching them your good. It's a detroit so it WILL leak oil. The aftertreatment has proved reliable, at least just as much as Cummins. Cummins has engine more engine issues though. The DD engine has proved to be very reliable just as good as a 60 series if not better, easier to work on. The trucks that do come in with higher mileage are usually check engine lights and oil leaks. Rarely is the check engine or malfunction indicator on for anything major.
I do highly recommend if you have a dd built before 2014 have the oil pan dropped (its probably leaking anyway) and the pick up tube o rings replaced. If it hasn't been done already. The older o rings shrink and cause the oil pump to make less pressure and has caused engine failures There is a TSB for it. takes 2-3 hours doesn't cost much in parts and is well worth the cost.
The DD series engine has by and large proven to be just as reliable as the older 60 series. Most of the work I do is emissions related. Not engine related
If you delete or otherwise circumvent the emissions system your taking your livelihood into your own hands . If johnny law does catch you and they have caught people you will be fined back into the stone age.
So you might take your truck to a shop slightly more it will not before the engine.
ANY DD is better than a mercedes 4000 And Miles better than a 2007-2009 60 series nothing but problems with those.
PacoPaco, just stay on top of your maintenance and you will get 1,000,000 miles easy. I have a customer who changes his oil every 25K miles using Mobile Delvac 1300 and OEM filters. You will have oil leaks, just like any engine.
Frank do you have any video of Volvo D13 2014 motor issues ?
No yet, it is coming soon.
I have a dd16 nothing but problems.
Francisco have you tried to replace cylinder liner at dd15?
Yes, i have done that.
Around how many miles on the engine when one can expect these issues?
Between 500,000 - 900,000
Francisco, we have used your suggestions to fix several engine related codes. We have one code that is disabling the engine after five minutes and that is 3713 as reported on the DD15 diagnostic software.Do you have any suggestions on how to fix and remove this code?
What's the year of the DD15 and does it has a FMI number?
eg: spn 3713 fmi 14 or spn 3713 fmi 31.
