If you don't have that device, TA shops charge for a force regen is pretty cheap. They'll probably get it started and go back to what they were doing, at least I did when I use to work there.
This is true but it is still a couple hundred bucks and you have to be there. Having the reset tool gets you going instead of the tow bill. Good advise though. Thanks for watching
As a tech, I don't begrudge any driver out there using something like this to get themselves out of a jam but PLEASE! do yourself and your tech a favor and write down every code before you zap them. The more info a driver can give me on an issue, the labor cost drops significantly because now I've got a direction to go in and the O/O isn't spending money on diag time that he would otherwise need. I can't speak to the comment below on techs getting a commission. Maybe that's the way it works at a dealership but for the independent shops the tech (the guy hanging upside down in your truck) 9 times out of 10 is on your side and help you if he/she can. Safe travels!
Hi, Heavy duty tech here, certified by 2 major OEMs, I understand the frustration when your trying to get your load delivered and get shut down by an emissions derate. but this thing is not the answer, and might well be a scam. you can buy third party software that will let you see youre codes, run a forced regen and determine from there if you need diagnostics and repairs or maybe even be told hey man put a new nox sensor or presure differential sensor that anyone with a adjutable wrench can fix saving you my bill. BUT clearing codes to drive for what will often be a few more hours is going to cause you more expensive problems latter like having to replace your DPF at a cost of thousands of dollars if you keep clearing them and running the unit. from what was explained in this video its not doing a forced regen, its clearing codes sending you on the road in the hopes that the truck does whats called a passive regen, what the unit is supposed to be doing every time your on the highway at the right engine temp anyway, and it deff didn't do for the last few weeks because if it did, you wouldn't be in a derate, or your derate is caused by a failure of a component witch again, needs to be repaired now, or your going to spend money latter. emissions can be a pain, but it gets stupid expensive because drivers and owners try to ignore the problem hoping it goes away.
Great points here. One of the best points is just pitting off til later. Getting theTruck to the dealership one of my big points. The OTR platform stores all your fault codes after you clear them. Surprisingly Kenworth says once you clear the codes they can’t read them. I found that interesting. In no way is this going to fix your truck but it is going to get you to the dealership. Thank you for taking the time to share your input. Any other questions or points please send me a message and thanks again
This "reset tool" is one of the most expensive ways I've seen for a owner operator to get themselves out of a jam. Don't get me wrong, it is great at the moment when you need it but less expensive and more capable tools are available at this point that do the same thing. And you are indeed correct for pointing out that this is an emergency bailout situation so that you are not stuck and/or need a tow. It is not a replacement for actually fixing the truck which is usually a bad sensor that needs replacement, unless the filters have been damaged through neglect or bad usage patterns. HINT: idling is absolutely terrible for these systems. My advice for owner operators and small fleet managers is to get a tool that allows them to routinely monitor the health of their trucks so that they (1) learn the performance profile and (2) see a problem building that can be dealt with before it puts the truck out of service. In fact if you belong to either of those groups, then consider that part of your job. That is just life with contemporary trucks and their emission systems. Get used to it.
Great info thanks question.. did you ever had hot air coming under the dash area.. steering wheel area while driving on a highway and then almost nothing at a full stop ? 2023 Freightliner M2 Tow truck. Thanks
OTR reset tool. Check out OTR diagnostics as well. It is a great option with way more settings. It is all on line. If you have any questions email me at truckingwithgrant@gmail.com
I was looking at a Bosch that does all that stuff and more for 500 oh, and it's got a screen and you can look at all your sensors and read all your codes clear the d-rate I'm looking at getting the Bosh
The tools seems like a tool based on hope, for drivers not for techs. It seems like a bandage kind of thing. Regions are definitely good to do often especially if you are not a long distance or out of state driver but not all regions in resets fix problems. But good exclamation and also on following those instructions.
The new version is even better. Allows you to see live data and see what is going on. Any questions email me truckingwithgrant@gmail.com It has saved my butt a few times
So much fuel is wasted getting my truck idled at the dealership to fix codes. Truck isn't even a year old and it has been towed twice and in the shop 5 times for emissions garbage. Glad it isn't my truck, but I still lose money.
@@rickynewton72 now they have a promotion on. No hardware with the yearly subscription of $650. You can use my promo code Trucking Life and that gets me a small commission as well. And yes I paid for my equipment. I liked it so much that I made the video.
Yes , it happened to me to do a force regen I had to pay $580 for 3 hours regen, so does it really do force regen or just resetting fault codes ? Where did you get it ?
OTR Performance. And yes it works and yea you can do a forced regen reset a egr delete and others. Lets you get to a dealership and save that tow bill. If you use “trucking life” in the promo code it will hive you a discount and I get a commission. If you want more info. Find me on messenger Grant Brown and I will answer any questions I can or help you thru it. It worked for me it will work for you
@@grant4sailthank you yes , I found a little bit cheap one from Diesel Laptops they said our product is working with DD15 so I went and ordered one for $500 so if it doesn’t work then I will reach out for sure .
@@TaskForce860 I’m curious how your handheld is going to work. I have the same one coming Tuesday. Can you post an update on what your using it with and what are the capabilities?
Well I got the tool I use it couple times at work but ultimately came down to going back to factory and I feel it's a double jeopardy you're still paying a lot of money not just a factory but 20 trotro ultimately and you still have to take it to factory I don't agree with this video
Ok. Please email me if you like. Im not sure what you disagree with? This is a diagnostic tool it will reset fault codes but not repair issues. I have used it to reset a derate to avoid a tow bill and get me to a to a repair shop or fix it myself. Email me truckingwithgrant@gmail.com And I can help you thru issues you may have. Honestly I would mot be without my reset tool
It is called the OTR reset tool and you can order on line at OTR Performance. There are other products that are excellent as well. Another video to follow on that
Great question! Depending on your engine. There are some options. Bully dog. Paccar is tough. Go to any dealership in the USA. If you own the truck. Thanks for watching!

How do you do a forced regen with this device that was not shown

If only this was more affordable. While 800 is a worthy investment to clear codes, that’s about a visit to the shop
Does anyone know if anter doing the deff delete and if the light came on again if it will fix it ?
