Hi Adam, I did valve adjustments on my 2015 Cascadia with DD15 at 300k first time and at 800k second time in the first week of this year. After that the MPG is down from 8 mpg to 7. Ask the dealer, they said its normal and it will get better. I want to hear it from you.

Adam Good evening Is bad for the engine to run with Jake brakes during mont eagle Tennessee travel ? Thanks for your valuable answer Regards Carlos Aguirre 17 Februay 2021

[@NotAnInternetPornStar]

Replacing DEF filters are VERY expensive, you DONT have to replace them. You can take them off and clean them out with a high pressure washer until you get clear water coming out. Do NOT use any harsh cchemicals in the wash out but you can use dawn soap. that will not hurt the filter and that cleans everything to grease.

[@frank9649]

Wow... I noticed you always use mileage for service intervals....I always use hrs....every 200 hrs I change oil and filter, every 100 hrs I grease, every 400 hrs I change fuel filter, I also use a fuelpro filter on my ISX 550 which I change at 2/3 of the way to the top..black portion of the filter.. thanks for the vid!!

[@MackTheGovnah]

Adam, top notch vid as always. What fuel/oil additives do you recommend? Do a video on oil/diesel additives and what you’re thoughts are!

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Thanks for watching Mack. That’s a good topic

[@MackTheGovnah]

TAT Express Inc. yes, I had a decent amount of “sticktion” on my dd15. I added hotshot sticktion remover the oil and it quieted the engine down a good bit. I would be very interested to know your thoughts on many of the popular diesel fuel and engine oil additives that are out there such as hotshot, motorkote, Lucas etc.

[@danweel9161]

Had the same problem turned out to be fuel filters. Happened again shortly after. Figured I must have picked up some water in the fuel. After second filter change had no more problems

[@AliMohamed-fp5ex]

I have 2013 volvo d13 deleted def. My average fuel says 5.6mpg on the dashboard. but if im driving flat surface and not windy i can get 6 to 8 mpg, but if im on windy 8mph winds and above my fuel drops around 3,4,5 pmg and my truck feel so weak. That can be this issue.

This is for new trucks or doesn’t matter the miles ?you must do it for every “X” amount of miles … for example I got a truck at 300k so must do it for every X amount of miles doesn’t matter if it’s not new ?

[@gregoryrobinson1004]

So would you say 1600 to 1700 rpm is too high too consistently run a dd15 @ 75 mph plus my mpg is 7.8 have the d12 trand 2.47 rears . Also I hate when in automatic mode how it downshifting while eng braking turns 2300rpms i dont think thats safe .

[@michaellee5399]

If you have 2.47 rears you should never be at 1600 or 1700 rpm at 75 mph

[@michaellee5399]

If you want to run longer oil change intervals say 50k to 75k which freightliner says you can do you must average 7 mpg and above and also don't change your fuel filters unless your fuel is hitting the full mark on the filter in the see thru canister otherwise hour wasting your hard earned money on these shops for extra pms you don't even need

My takeaway from this as an o/o is to do the maintenance you’re supposed to do anyways. There was nothing new learned. This feels like a video you would see on a dvd after buying a new freightliner 🤷🏻‍♂️
