The #1 way to keep the carbon off the pistons and increase the life of your engine is to invest in some type of APU and use it when you shut down for your 10hr break or waiting at a shipper or receiver don't idle the truck over 30 minutes and if you're sitting for more than 10 minutes idle the engine rpms up to 900rpms keep your oil pressure at 40 or more this tricks the engine and it thinks it's running down the road, 2nd when you're driving your truck watch your shift point don't tact your engine above 1600rpms will throw your valve adjustment off the ISX Cummins will set itself if you tact it at 1500rpms and get great fuel mileage and also pull like a BEAST one more tip if you have the automatic have the computer set to where the transmission will shift at 1500rpm and watch what the fuel mileage does you'll be amazed!

You ain't going to be able to go up any hills at 90t+ at them revs 😂😂

[@alanzapata9708]

Can you guys set the shift points.?

[@DavidDallas3343]

Right here is proof the manufacturers of these heavy duty diesel engines design these engines cheap as they can why would any manufacturer just put one seal to separate coolant from oil on a cylinder liner there should be two gaskets one as a backup but nope 🤷🤦💯

[@imballin93]

I'm a diesel mechanic in Australia, your videos don't get enough views. So informed and easy to understand.

[@memyself7419]

My humble prayer to the great algorithms. In seriousness though, when I see 10,000 IFTA decals on side of truck I wonder if the driver was a kindergarten teacher in his/her previous life.

[@PickupsAreNotTrucks]

Thanks for the info, brother. Rebuilding my 12.7 60 Series as we speak because I had coolant in the oil. I will start flushing the cooling system more often. Life sucks when this stuff happens…

[@repairvehicle]

$30 dollars oil analysis will save thousands of dollars in down time and repairs as preventive maintenance.

[@michaels.6050]

Can you make a detailed video about the N14 cummins?

[@markhodge7485]

Great info to bad most trucking companies don't follow any of that advice

[@ThisTruckingLife]

Another great video! Adam your channel is awesome!

[@ray8535]

Adam what engine would you say is more reliable nowadays. DD15 or ISX15 I'm looking at a couple of 2018-2019 trucks. I have a computer with all the softwares, so having to go to a dealer to diagnose small sensor or codes issues won't be a problem. I'm referring to mayor repairs, downtime and cost of parts. What would you say has been your experience or what have you seen the most coming to your shop with problems, what is the hardest to find parts and the longest wait - downtimes of the 2. Thanks for your insight, great videos man, you are helping a lot of ppl. Keep up the good work 👏

[@marcosdiesel6012]

congratulations for the work

[@TheDieseler]

Another great video guys. I hope business is good at your new location.

[@youseffure5900]

hi adam i always watch and follow your expert skills you demonstrates is great but you dont talk include your vedios 2016 D13 please add most common issues to watch out please

[@jamesleejr1626]

Great video. Trying relearn alot. Thinking about feeling application out.

[@tamipotirala6973]

How do you rule out the compressor as the reason for coolant in the oil?

[@davidleonides5743]

This happen twice to my 98 dt466e.

[@elcamionerous3894]

The best my brother excellent important information is common this problem

[@aahauling2976]

Hello. Looking to get an overhaul. Who will I need to speak with? And how long does it generally take from start to finish?

[@rmb779]

That sn awesome and informative video! Thanks for sharing bro

[@truck6280]

How much does a job like that cost to fix including labor ? Also what temperature does diesel fuel usually burn at ? I see additives that reduce engine temperature which supposably reduces carbon build up. But it seems like you want to INCREASE engine temperature to reduce carbon buildup

[@deepmandal1256]

Raising the temperature of the engine it is one of the major problem to build up the carbon inside the combustion chamber. It required equal proportional of air/ fuel ratio in order to reduce unburned carbon deposition inside the chamber.

[@marcosdiesel6012]

Parabéns pelo vídeo

[@halisoztoklu]

Hi TAT Thanks for sharing all this information, I sincerely appreciate it! I guess I couldn’t understand a simple thing here. In the video what did you mean by over fueling?

[@jaygreig3586]

I'm looking at a 2016 Cascadia. I smell coolant in the oil. The owner is saying that it is a common problem and its not worth fixing. Sign of bad maintenance?

[@1masut]

Run away as fast as you possibly can

[@repairvehicle]

Bad maintenance and abused engine

[@joelrodriguez2385]

I got a 2017 cascadia. Which probably has the 2016 DD15. Don't know forsure(let me know how to check). But either way, I heard the oil pump fails at 400k, I got 388k on it. Is that too soon to change a oil pump? I really don't want it to lock up

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Are you getting a low oil pressure alarm? Most of the time, it's just the oil suction o-rings. You may change o-rings as preventive maintenance. You should get signs of low oil pressure and be sure to be current with maintenance.

[@joelrodriguez2385]

@@TATEXPRESSINC none of those signs yet. I bought the truck at 354K and the dealer said they changed the rubbers on it. But I'm just basing this on he said she said , i don't know if they really did change them.. but now that I know the signs. I'll be careful and look out for them. Thanks alot man really.

[@nandostransport7958]

Just changed my oil pump and seals, injector cups and O-ring with cam housing seals on my DD15 with 630k. Preventative maintenance is the best solution to all problems. Change me coolant at least every 180k.

[@repairvehicle]

Do oil analysis

[@truckingjamaicans5045]

Nice info

[@Angry397]

Do bull gear on the 14l ever needs to be changed?

[@blakejustice8212]

Yes it should be changed when you do a inframe/ overhaul

[@Dan_nie2427]

I'm looking to buy my own I was wondering what your opinion is on buying the right truck reliability maintenance affordability?

[@evanoliver44]

Thank u sir I follow ur videos I like to asking u fright liner with DD15 455hp or frightliner with Cummins x15 450 hp thank u

[@DNG1966]

2020 freightliner 340,000 miles fuel pump$ 30,000 at freightliner wow

[@repairvehicle]

Do coolant analysis and don't follow factory recommended intervals. Analysis cheap vs repairs.

[@ghostcat1883]

Is there a way to clean the carbon out of your engine, and what's the cost.

[@دوشمةسيارات]

How can I contact you, please? I have a minor problem. I am from Iraq

[@tanuki379]

What mileage this happens?

[@brandinewman7871]

Why is my truck turning off when I drive or when I'm Adelaide you guys change the brain of it I think the computer of it and it's still doing the same thing every couple weeks it turns off can you explain that to me I got a 2017 freightliner with DD15 Detroit engineering

[@gregoryjudson6616]

I have a 2016 Volvo D 13 425. Air pressure build up in the coolant system. when the truck is cold or hot if you loosen the coolant cap anti freeze rise being push by air changed coolant tank had it pressure test for blown head gasket no drop in pressure.no anti freeze in air tanks any one can help with this it would be appreciated .

[@darrenhanson7696]

I have heard that the air compressor can pressurize your coolant system. Im not sure if volvos do it. But we had it happen in a paccar

[@darrenhanson7696]

Did you find the problem. Just noticed it was 3 months ago. Lol

[@gregoryjudson6616]

@@darrenhanson7696 yes funny you ask it's in the shop now to injectors failed . and it ran 5 months like that no smoke coming out the exhaust no hard start the way I found out was I was going to grab a load every time I tried to accelerate it started skipping . thank God I was at home and not over the road somewhere

[@MrRyanrk12]

It say x15 but that's an isx

[@nickjones8702]

Don’t for get change coolant filter regularly every 1-2k Miles

[@DeezHairyYteNutz]

Carbon buildup is caused by regeneration. When soot can't get out, it cycles back through the engine. Give me a glider kit engine

[@davidsignor7931]

Carbon packing on the pistons is caused by the EGR system it doesn't have anything to do with regeneration. That has its own problems, way too many to list
