Hi I have a question I have a 2013 freightliner cascadia, when I turn on the right signal it blinks very fast even when I check outside of the truck the light blinking fast on the front, side and rear. The light bulb looks fine can it be a fuse that needs to be replace, thanks

[@adanrascon2383]

Claro que sí Francisco, me gustaría ver más videos explícitos relacionnados con estos nuevos motores, sobre todo del Cummins ISX y del nuevo Cummins...excelente tu trabajo de explicación...

[@prettyp4925]

Francisco Amaya Thanks for the video I replaced this filter one day ago in TA shop because oil was coming from it. But I found today my coolant level went down to half gallon in 350 and white smoke was coming from it in the evening when I parked my truck Kindly suggest, Thank you

[@sukhasingh201]

My truck start getting same problem but now I know what happened, thanks for help

[@pat4532]

Thank you sir for Nice explain

[@zeke1eod]

Thanks for the info. I just set a code for this

Thanks!

[@belaywubetu7841]

Thanks bro

[@thermroberts380]

Great video Francisco. Quick question. About how much should I expect to spend to get oil leaks fixed around this engine? 2010 Cascadia DD15. It's leaking around the fuel rail on the intake side, and leaking everywhere on the exhaust side. Plus it's leaking from the back, up top somewhere. Engine runs great tho. Just have to always keep an eye on the oil level..

[@prietogarcia40]

Francisco gracias por tus videos, el mío apenas empieza a leak x cuanto tiempo lo podré correr un par d días más?

[@kalehallman]

Thanks for the explanation of how this works. Will this cause the engine to accelerate slowly or the truck to slow down when coming off the throttle? This is what mine is doing, in addition to spewing oil. Push the clutch in when coasting and the truck coasts freely instead of slowing down.

[@brandon13romero50]

Thank you for you videos, hey quick question, would be open to hiring someone as a helper/apprentice? Im from fontana as well, 21 year old trying to learn my trade being a diesel mechanic!

[@jorgefacio690]

great video. quick question do you need to drain the oil out before removing the part

[@franciscoamayaYT]

No, you don't have to drain the oil to remove the oil separator.

[@quocbinhduong-pv4ef]

[@notkirill6991]

Would this cause the truck to haven't white smoke in the area???

[@TroyP20]

How often do u need to change the crankcase?

[@aaroncruz5688]

I changed the filter and it's leaking still. Seems to be leaking more. I also put a oil rag under breather and it's covered in oil coming out of breather on crankcase filter. Any suggestions 🤔

[@rrubio3608]

So if the oil cap opening is creating suction....that means the crankcase is working fine?

[@CALIHABITS]

Can that cause the injectors to go bad?

[@thaiblkman1]

What causes the crankcase to go bad

[@francocerna4388]

Hola qué tal cómo estás hace unos días remplacé el clock spring de un Bmw 535 2013 porque no funcionan nada del volante se había reventado un cable de adentro pero ahora que compre el nuevo y se lo puse no paran los limpia parabrisas todo el tiempo están prendidos me dio el código 5444 y 54EE no se si me podrías echar la mano dándome unos tips de qué podría ser

[@aliAhmed-cy9oo]

If my truck has this issue how far that i can drive before fixing it

[@rrubio3608]

If there is suction shouldn't that mean it's working ?

[@faizanejaz2732]

Hello. Where is your shop located? Thanks

[@ignaciomelchor1148]

Lo cambie hace un mes y apenas me Volvio a tirar aceite y cuando abro donde la tapa del aceite sale mucho humo Blanco al igual q donde va la barilla para checar el aceite

[@moaz8932]

Hi I changed crankcase 3 times in 2 years leaking oil !!!! Do you know what is causing that thanks …

[@magteyntransport6195]

And I am add oil

[@skim4me]

Can you show how to stop water from leaking into on a 2014 Cascadia? Clearance lights? Windshield? The door seal is good. The water pools up in very heavy rain just overr the passenger side sun visor, towards the window,.it seems to be a common problem. Thanks

Changed mine and now I have oil and blowby blowing out like crazy but was not doing this before changing it

Kris Murphy did you figure out what it was mines doing the same thing

[@flyingjstation]

I have dd13 freightliner cascadia. Had this code spn 5444 fmi 1 I changed oil breather, speed sensor and fault code is still there. Please advise.

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Probably the engine harness is bad

[@michaelhunt1024]

Hi thank you for your video. I've a question, I have this exact same problem and everything I've found on the issue says it's cause by failed cylinders, is it possible for just the filter to be bad and not need a rebuild?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

What does the engine do exactly?

[@aliAhmed-cy9oo]

I have a 2012 dd13 engine on my Freightliner how much does a crankcase filter cost do you know

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Like $350 +/-

[@alex7289]

How do I get rid of a permanent low def pressure fault? I had contaminated def. The tank has been cleaned, def lines have been cleaned out. Filters and screens have been replaced in the pump and metering unit. The metering unit has been taken apart and clean out. Def pump is new and pressure limiting unit as well. The truck is not using def right now and the code shows up permanent, not active. That's the only code being shown. It's a 2012 Cascadia with dd15. My mechanic doesn't know what to do and the dealer just wants to replace everything that we already cleaned out/replaced.

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Replace the DEF metering valve with a new one and perform a DPF parked regen with the DDDL software to confirm the repair.

[@alex7289]

@@franciscoamayaYT Thank you will do.

[@transport21]

Alex did it fix the problem?

[@asolovey20]

My crankcase breather started to leak heavily 2 months ago. I replaced it and the new one leaked a little bit right away from the same spot, the vent on the crank case breather, it failed and started to leak heavily like in the video. I got another one and the new one is leaking pretty bad from the vent as well, just like it is in the video. I didn’t notice any loss of power and I’m not loosing any coolant, I’m loosing oil a little bit because it’s leaking out but not like some people are stating there problem is where they loose a gallon after a few hours of driving. The dealer tested the cylinders and said they were all above 90%. They told me to do a dyno to have better testing results on what’s going on. They think the piston rings are all worn out equally and I need an over haul. My mileage is 711,000 it’s a 2015 cascadia DD15 What advice can you give me sir? Thank you

[@asolovey20]

Also I don’t have any blow by when I remove the oil fill cap.

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Maybe there is cylinder than is leaking compression. I see nothing else.

[@lastwill99]

si es el mismo filtro dd13 con dd15 y cuanto cuesta ese filtro muchas gracias....francisco

[@alex7289]

Como $500

[@gmolina0614]

A mi me costo 350 quisas poquito mas, pero menos de 400. Es bien simple de poner

[@Mebenzo]

How much do u think cost if mechanics do it?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Like $200 - $400 depending on the application

[@edwinmonterroza7426]

My truck is leaking oil from the crankcase. I replace it but it’s still leaking

[@franciscoamayaYT]

It could be high crankcase pressure caused by a faulty engine

[@sstrucking5435]

Hola Francisco tengo un cascadia 2010 dd15 le hice el overhaul hace 6 meses le puse el crankcase nuevo pero ahorita me tiró el aceite y el tanque de agua esta muy bajo, le chequé la tapa de el aceite y tiene como una tipo nata café. Estoy como a 20 millas de el taller podría correr el camión así o será mejor requiarlo?

Posiblemente una camisa se quebro

Hi Francisco I have a 2007 Columbia with that Detroit 60 series engine. Last few days I started getting smell of oil and I checked under the truck no oil on the ground but bottom of the engine is oily and I think around the crankshaft breather pipe is worse. Do u think I have a same problem?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Yes, it better to check it before it becomes something bigger.
