- Hi All. Today with DR. Frahnkensteeen, you join me at work dealing with a pesky Cascadia Fuel Metering valve. Was a lot of work to do it. but kind of fun. Freightliner has a few lines to their Cascadia Tractors Big Rig Some this is an easy job because the cab is back further on the engine. This one the cab sits over the engine and has no dog house. Hope this helps someone out and please enjoy ^_^
Approximately how long did it take to change?
Thanks for saving me alot of time I was able to do it without removing any fuel lines. I even left the braket. For the bottom bolt I used a Milwaukee 3.5" long T30 torx bit that has a skinny and round shaft with a 1/4 to 1/4 socket and a 1/4 sviwel rachet. You can also use a stubby 1/4 ratchet that would be even better.
Very happy to hear this video helped you out! Also thank you for tossing in some tools notes, Those are always useful.
Hi, did you drain coolant system ?
How long did it take you on mines i gotta changed it i dont have to take the lines out
@@cylogistics8262 if you have all tools ready shouldn't take longer than an hour or two. I also used a snake camera to look around the area but not necessary
@@forestcleaner2322 didn't drain nothing
Is there any way to not to drain coolant system ?
You do not have to drain the coolant. the lines removed are part of the fuel.
How can you tell if it’s bad
Using a good scan tool, check the fuel pressure, it should stay fairly close to the commanded pressure from the ECU, if it does not and goes up and down, normally it is the metering valve. If you do not have a scanner, start the engine and listen to it. if the valve is going bad The engine will have a harsh idle or will cough, where it will almost sound like it is wanting to die but recovers.
It’s a easy job just a couple fuel lines out the way and is easy removal and easy replacement
For the other type i spoke of yes, it is a easy job when the cab is farther back on the engine. This cascadia is not like that. There is a video showing the other type here on youtube which is the easy one. for example this Video ua-cam.com/video/j9H5EJtSFd0/v-deo.html here, the metering valve is very easy to access since the cab is not sitting over 70% of the engine.
How much are those valves?
I am not sure. My office has all the information. I just try and fix stuff lol
I called and they said like $1000. Doesn’t seem like a $1000 part. Also searched the internet and they vary from $300 and up. That’s why I asked.
@@Poppi3579 Ah, Only reason I think it cost a lot is because how long it can last at times. the truck I changed it on had 755k miles and the last time it was changed was around 300k miles. There are some parts on these trucks that are just outrageous!
