What kind of a man, shares his knowledge, so that we can learn and save money..God bless you Francisco.

[@austinhord8317]

THANK YOU! You saved me like 3 days of work trying to diagnose this problem! Now i know what i need to look at!

[@kenskinner7016]

Francisco first off I love your videos and please keep them coming? When my clutch safety switch went out I found it way faster and easier to remove the clutch pedal assy from the firewall (4 bolts) then remove the switch from the pedal assy rather than to fight under the dash to get to it.

[@victorforeman2864]

Ken Skinner me too, I couldn’t see up in there! So I pulled out those 4 bolts and out the clutch pedal came!

[@truckingrocks2063]

I just want you to know that I was able to replace my own clutch switch today by myself because of this video. My 2014 Cascadia’s cruise control and jake brake were working off and on then my truck started to not want to start when my clutch was pressed down. I had a hard time getting the new switch seated back in correctly but I kept persisting and all of a sudden it seated as if by miracle. I am truly thankful for your video because it helped me gain the confidence to try and fix it myself. Keep up the good work! ❤️ Jeananne

[@phayakoot1]

You can by pass your clutch switch by using on off on switch very simple and save money to buy dam switch forever

[@donn7261]

Every Freightliner I have owned has needed this replaced at least once. Good work on your channel.

This worked fixing cruise on my 2012 Cascadia

[@jcdahippie]

I have a truck with those problems. Intermittent Jake and using the cruise switch for high idle. I can pump the clutch a couple times and it will start working. Using cruise control is another issue with the anti-collision system.

I had the same problem, changed the clockspring and voila, it is not hard either, take the cover of steering wheel off disconnect the wire, socket number 32m required to uninstall the steering wheel if steering wheel have markings for the alienment it is good if not mark it, remove covers and you can remove the clockspring, make sure you wheels are straight when instaling or uninstaling the steering wheel

Francisco no se si me puedas ayudar. Tengo una 2009 cascadia y le cambiaron la transmisión automática a una de 10 velocidades. El cruise control no quiere activar. En la dash enseña que está activado pero no lo puedo activar a ninguna velocidad. Y el engine break se activa sólo cuando le aplastó el freno y no lo puedo desactivar ni cambiar de nivel.

Hi Francisco. I have a 2014 Freightliner cascadia with a dd15 . When I push the on off button on the engine brake the light on the dashboard does not come on. I noticed that the light on the selector for low medium and high comes on when I push the button on steering wheel. Any information on where to start.

Great videos bud. I just wanted to ask if you might advice me on why my 07 Columbia looses clutch once or twice a week when i come to stop. I have to shut off the truck and start in gear and is fine again for days. It’s manual Eaton fuller transmission. Thanks

Moha time for a new clutch I’d say

[@rousseaurousseau2997]

I'm having the same issue no cruise or jake; but now it needs a regen and it won't let me do it. Could this be related to the same issue? Is it safe to idle the truck for a few hours till mechanic arrives 🤔

i know exactly that problem i dont even have watch its switch clutch

[@alexanderbatista8947]

Buenos dias Tengo un dd13 y le puse una eaton fuller fr15210b 10 cambio

Lo que necesita hacer es reprogramar la computadora y cambiarle los parametros de la transmmision. Cambiar the automatica a cambio y la option de arraranca que no tenga que comfirmar que hay una transmmision automatica. Si no puede have eso, trate de buscar una computadora que sea the otro camion igual pero que tengo transmmision standard de fabrica

[@ivansoto3836]

Hey francisco. I believe my clutch switch is bypassed because I dont have to push pedal to start my truck. I have same problem with Jake's and cruise sometimes working sometimes not. Would you suggest to change the clutch switch?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Yes, it is better

[@wintervillerealtor]

What if it’s automatic

[@EveraldNeilForChrist]

Hey Francisco, I have a 2010 freightliner Cascadia. I set my cruise control on 68 mph. Going down the road and my speed will increase up to 80 mph. My speedometer during this time will start behaving erratically like going down to zero and going up and down. Please help me with a solution am afraid am going to get a speeding ticket if it's not fixed. Please help 🙏

[@california559]

I have a 2012 Cascadia .Jake brake used to work sometimes but now it's not working at all what can I check for to get it fix ..

[@franciscoamayaYT]

The clutch switch is the most common cause of that. Check with the DDDL software the jake brake functions to get a better idea.

[@kazakman7772]

Very nice video. I have a one quick question. I converted my auto smart shift to manual shift 10 speed. Due to many problems. Now my cruise control and jake brake not working. I was looking everywhere in all forums but theres no particular case like mine. What do u think could be the problem? Amigo I forgot it’s freightliner cascadia 2010 dd15 engine with 800k miles

[@franciscoamayaYT]

You have to change the parameters of the computer to make them work.

[@daniellawless92]

Please answer this question for me, I have a 2011 Cascadia with a Cummins isx. Cruise control works fine all the time, I do not have idle control, But my jake brake works sometimes. I always get power to the jake brake switch, I know because the light comes on every time I engage it from the steering wheel button. But the jake brake doesn’t always work even though the switch is getting power. I already replaced the clutch switch and it did NOT solve the issue. Any advice would be great, thanks.

[@curtismathews4790]

Did you ever get the issue fixed?

Mr. Amaya can u make a video of cylinder cut our test with datalink 8.

I don't have a datalink8, I can do it with the DDDL software. If that is ok with you.

[@artguil1156]

Francisco Amaya sure please do.

[@rubengutierrez7019]

Hey Francisco, i recently had my clutch safety switch go bad and i had it bypassed. Now my engine brake and cruise control won't work. What do you think might be the problem?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

You have to bypass the Jake Cruise line too with the clutch safe switch.

[@rubengutierrez7019]

Thank you so much for your help!

[@constantincolodezni9281]

Hello, thank you for all your videos. They are just great))! My question: my engine brake on Freightliner Cascadia 2014 (not the evolution) works on low mode and medium mode but high mode doesn’t kick in. Any suggestions why?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Check with the DDDL software the Jake brake command, you can have a faulty switch.

[@constantincolodezni9281]

Francisco Amaya , thank you for your reply. I will check with my mechanic

[@constantincolodezni9281]

Constantin: After checking with my mechanic we found that my EGR actuator was almost burnt. It was stuck against the bolt And wouldn’t spin properly. After we put new version EGR actuator my engine break start working. 2. I also have rough idle and I ask my mechanic to check fuel quantity valve, but he said that if this would be the problem the truck would give codes for fuel quantity valve. And I don’t have codes. So I wanted to ask you what else can it be? My engine going up and down rough idle and sometimes on high rpm it’s kind of choking that three mechanics told me it’s not a problem but I am still not comfortable with this sound of my engine. Left can you recommend please?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Have you replace the fuel quantity valve?

[@constantincolodezni9281]

No! My mechanic said if there is no code for it, that means it’s ok. That’s why I am waiting to ask you. Was there code for valve in the truck you were fixing? Or you just changed it without the code?

[@patgarcia7638]

Hi Fransisco I have a problem with 2004 Freightliner Columbia my engine brake is not working I replaced the clutch switch still the same those ..ones I hooked the computer it showed the engine brake was on ...any clues

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Maybe the jake piston hardware is bad

[@trillunittube]

I have a 2011 freight liner cascadia the check engine light came on then all the steering wheel controls stop working wht could be my issue?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Miscommunication, this could be caused by a bad steering wheel switch panel or wiring, a bad module switch Field, bad cab wiring, water in cab or a faulty CPC.

How and where can i get that software my Friend? And good video by the way

[@franciscoamayaYT]

You can look for it online, search "DDDL software" or you can buy it at Detroit Diesel dealer (not Freightliner dealer) The newest version requires a year subscription, this means that you have to purchase the license every year and this cost around $2000.00 I personally bought with my heavy duty tools supplier.

Hi, Francisco, I own a 2011 freighliner cascadia and I'm having engine brake issues, when I'm going down hill loaded I engage the engine brake but it won't slow down, the engine brake engages but it desengages by it self, like if someone is messing around with the switch and put it in high and the in med, do you have an idea what the problem is?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

My suggestion would be, check the Jake brake command with the DDDL software while you are driving the truck using the Jake brake. That was you are going to see which command is the one that is not responding properly to the manual command. But just a quick question. Does the cruise control work normally?

[@JoseRodriguez-ey1oz]

Francisco Amaya, yes the cruise control works fine. I also notice that the cruise control doesn't wanna work sometimes, until I press the break pedal once and then the cruise control works again.

[@JoseRodriguez-ey1oz]

Francisco Amaya, could it be the break pedal switch that is faulty?

[@JoseRodriguez-ey1oz]

Francisco Amaya, could the faulty break pedal be the cause the engine brake engages and desengages by it self or could it be a faulty engine brake switch?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Yes, replace the clutch switch. That could be your solution.
