Ay Carlos, absolutely appreciate your content! My brother and I did our valve lash and EB recently and all thank's to your vids!. You and Fransisco Amaya are my go to guy's. I have a question for you.... last year my motor seized up from lack of oil psi. I had a low mile used dd15 installed, however I don't think they ever reprogrammed my ecm with the injectors on this motor. I've read that if the mechanic doesn't do the programming there can potentially be issue's, such as power loss/gain, hot spot's from certain cylinders or cold spot's, rough idle at start ups. Simply bc the emc is still programmed with the old injectors. All that I mentioned I'm getting. However, would you advise me to grab those code's off the injectors and program them? Also, do I have to grab the P/N off all injectors or can I get it off bank 1 and use it for all of them? Will I be able to get the S/N with injectors installed? I have the DDDL software so I can just hit "read" so it'll pull all the code's. Thank you in advance and as always, keep up the GREAT CONTENT!!! 🤙🏽
I appreciate the compliment. I would recommend inputting the injector codes and it will ask you for the part number. That you can grab off the injector and it should be the same for all of them.
Ay Pedro. So I finally had the opportunity to try to get my injectors updated in my ECM. The issue now is that, when I press "read" it will not read the code's on any of the injectors, it just shows 4 question marks. Then on the right side window it shows the value of .0497 on all 6 injectors, im assuming the ECM automatically sets that value when it doesn't recognize the injector(s). Is this happening because my ECM doesn't recognize the injectors and will need to input the code's manually? 🤔. I thought of pressing "reset learned data" but didn't want to chance messing anything up. I'm in Fontana, so I might have a mechanic I know check it out as I need him to realign my driveline(s)(yoke to yoke, u-joint to u-joint) Again, I appreciate your advice, content and knowledge! 🤙🏽
What was the code that came up for injector replacement? I have code fail 5 spn 653 on my 2014 dd15. We just replaced the engine sensor harness 120 pin and the ecm from some other mutiple code problems that were inaccurate . I got this injector code two days later. After the repairs Had loss of power. Definitely no communication with injector 3. From the lost of power and rough idle. After getting the code and lost of power. The code came off on its own next day. Worked the truck locally for two days after that and the code is back. My guess it could be the injector harness or a rare thing i could have bought a bad new engine harness from freightliner. What you think? And let me know the code you got for the injector please. Great video. I'm subscribed buddy
Anytime I have a fault code for an injector, I always go with low hanging fruit or the easy option depending on what is going on. Based on your fault code, it looks like your injector could be bad but it could also be the injector harness. Is your injector harness the original?
Thanks for this good video, well done . Where I can get a software for Detroit, or you possibly know side where I can download from . Pls let me know. Thank you
Arthur Rynkowski the software is available for purchase through diagnosticlink.nexiq.com It is an annual subscription, definitely worth it if you are going to being performing Diagnostics.

Hi, nice quick video ! I have a DD15 with SPN 3659 FMI 5 injector cylinder #1 spill control valve ("amplifier"), circuit open. What does ISC% stands for? Your values are reading 0, mines are -5,-6,-5,0,5,11. Also Injector Code returned values are invalid "??????" for all 6 injectors. I have changed the injector harness, problem still on. Any advice?
Thank you!!! Quick questions regarding Detroit Series 60 14L My mechanic recently replaced 3 injectors and all 6 injector cups and my trucks performance became worse that just white smoke from the exhaust. I was unable to get to 60mph and I had trouble starting my struck. it would take about 10 secs for my truck to start due to needing the fuel to get going. I recently learned after taking my truck back to the shop they didn't replace the O rings or torque down bolts on injectors 4 5 and 6. Could this be causing air to leak into my fuel lines and for my performance to be worse. Also, there was a high pitch knocking sound from front of my engine. My mechanic stated injector 4 could be causing injector 1 to make that sound. (not sure if this is accurate). He also stated it was easier for him to diagnose what's going on if we replaced the injector harness. Due to the cost of the harness we decided to do so. We will continue to trouble shoot what's going on tomorrow. I have purchase o ring kits for injectors 4 5 and 6 along with the torque down bolts. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!! Rob
Hey @robertovillalon, were you able to solve those issues with your truck? I have the same problem, knocking sound, the white smoke, truck doesn't start. Let me know, please, what did you do.thank you
You can use the Diagnostic Link software and perform a cylinder cutout test. I do this at low rpm and HI rpm. The injector that does not cutout is usually the bad one. Also a Idle Balance Test can help narrow it down
Hi Carlos Diesel Electric. I would like to ask you one question if you can help me out. I can see that you was working on dd13 engine which I have the same and is 2016. I have problem when I am accelerating ,especially when I am going up to the hill my engine start making the noise . First is little vibration and as I accelerating more it start knocking sound , but if I let it off from my gas pedal it stops and again if I accelerate it starts again. Engine working all fine except when I am accelerating. What do you think is causing the problem>? Please help me because I did visit a lot of mechanics but no one know what is the problem even freightliner does not know. Thanks in advance

@@CarlosDieselElectric Hy Carlos, I am writing from Ukraine, we have a problem with Actros Euro6, in this truck is your engine DD13, we have made a repair for this engine, - liners, bearings, piston rings, we did it during one month, the injectors were out of engine, we have all completed ( it is not our first such engine that we done ) and now we can not start it. There is such opinion by other mechanics here , that the reason are the old injectors, that we have left it ( the old injectors ) on air or somebody here tells us, that we have not so dismantled these injectors from engine, that there is secret. There no codes of error , we prove it with diagnostic computer. I would like to hear only your advice , could be the reason the old (from this engine ) dismantled injectors, before repairing , 1 month before was starting OK with these injectors, many thanks
Pedro l pulled all 6 injector out of my truck to have them tested. I noticed that my number 4 injector have EN286 and the other 5 have E8205. These numbers are the bottom number on the injector. Are these 2 numbers compatible for my DD15 ?
Ok the part numbers are all the same. I had them tested and they all are around 80%. I was told l can probably get 6 months to a year out of them until lll need to replace them. I noticed I was loosing power on the torque in going up mountains but the truck needed an over adjustment along with the Jake brakes needing adjustment as well. I'll find out tomorrow when we put everything back together. Thanks again for your help and for sharing great videos.
Carlis im getting a code Injector Cylinder #6 Needle Control Valve Abnormal Operation (MIN) code 656 14 & Leakage in high pressure fuel system Too high (Leak down test) 1077 14 code. Is that the injector? Thx
Rene Olivares could be injector number 6 but could also be injector harness. When you disconnect the injector harness (just outdoor the valve cover) is oil present? When you are at 1000 RPM does the truck feel like there is a misfire?
Hi there, I've just finished the installation of a new injector on my 2014 freightliner cascadia dd15. I've fired the engine and run at idle and all injectors are firing as they should. My question is- is it absolutely necessary to have the injector code programed into the ecm or can I safely drive the truck to a location to have it done? Im on the road in a location without computer equipment.
cannon m I usually put the same injectors back into their original location. This way I don’t have to worry about injector codes. But to be honest, you are fine. I know plenty of mechanics that install injectors without changing the injector codes. Once you get to a place where it can be done. Go ahead and have them input into the MCM.
@@CarlosDieselElectric ok ty Carlos, just to be clear I've installed a brand new injector to replace a bad one. I'm a driver on the side of the road. It appeared in your response that maybe you thought I was putting the original injectors back in after an overhaul.
cannon m ok. Got it, it is recommended that you input the code into to the MCM. But if you need to move the truck it will work just fine. Once you are at a shop that can input the injector code go ahead and have them do it.
Hello Mr Pedro, I was adjusting my valves and TDC1 intake valve 5 also had a play, and I rotated clutch 360 degrees to TDC6 and on that adjustment valve 2 also had a play, it means that I have to change the springs as well or what? Thank you 😊
So here is the valve adjustment sequence. TDC1 you are going to adjust valves. Intake: 1-2-4 Exhaust: 1-3-5 Then rotate 360 degrees. TDC6 you are going to adjust valves. Intake: 3-5-6 Exhaust: 2-4-6 Intake Lash 0.4 mm Exhaust Lash 0.6 mm Lock but torque is 37 lb ft Hope this helps. Sorry for the late reply
@@CarlosDieselElectric Thank you so very much for helping out, yes I have done it right as you posted on video, I watched your video few times to make sure about valve adjustment but intake 2 and 5 have play on both TDC1 and TDC6, I tried couple times but anyway, exhaust is ok , it was great that you helped me at this time, I’d like to appreciate it by my way, please send me your shop address if you don’t mind
Hi Carlos, i got a question for you, i have a 2013 cascadia with a dd15 with 554000 , how often should the valve adjustment be done in this engines? Thanks
Desvaríos de un Camionero Detroit recommends a valve adjust be done at 100K miles, then at 500K miles. So if your truck is at 554K miles, I would recommend it. Over time the valves will wear and the clearances are not the same, sometimes they get tighter and the engine will not run as efficient.
Travis Wheatley great question, you can use any laptop as long as it meets the software requirements for Detroit Diesel, Cummins Insite or any of the others. I use a Lenovo, before that I had an HP. Don’t go cheap like the $250 range, I tried that once and I regretted it. I should do a video on what I use. Hope this helps.
Hi Carlos, I have a dd15 with 720k miles, replaced all injectors at 700k, everything runs the same except my mpg dropped by about 1mpg. Injectors were new, not a rebuild. I can't figure out why? Is there a special calibration needee through computer?
Each injector has a code specific to each injector. When an injector or injectors are replaced the code has to be entered in to the MCM (engine computer). Also, I recommend a valve adjustment (tune up) and possibly a software update. but first look in to the codes, then valve adjustment and lastly the software update. BTW, what year is the truck?
@@CarlosDieselElectric Thanks for the response. It's 2015. Valve adjustment was done not long before the injector swap. I assumed the mechanic, that did the swap, also did the codes, but I'll double check that. Thank you.
Great question, the Standard version I use will allow you to make parameter changes (increase mph, increase cruise control etc), clear fault codes, change horse power and perform some troubleshooting. But will not allow for factory software updates or programming. It can do a lot of what the professional version can do and is about half the price. What are you trying to do?
@@CarlosDieselElectric thanks for responding. I got cascadia dd15 2018 with 550k ODO. So i need to change all my injectors and do valve adjustment. the problem is that when I try to start my truck it makes an incomprehensible sound (chick chick...) and the CHECK lights up. but after a few tries the truck starts up.
@@firdavsnigmatov sounds like you might have air in the fuel line system. Before you change your injectors try to resolve the issue first. If you are cranking the engine a few times before it starts then you maybe getting in the fuel system. Check the fuel line in (inlet) and the fuel line out (return). The fittings maybe sucking air. This may cause the sound you are talking about. Have you done or have you had any work done to the truck?
@@CarlosDieselElectric Ok, I'll make sure to check. If you mean the engine, than no I haven't done it except for changing 1 of injector fuel line seal (since there was a leak) . But in general, I have recently changed my Def NOX sensors (inlet and outlet) in the dealership.
hi my friend i need your help the shop remove the rocker arm and everything look good so they dont now what is making the nois thay say that is coming from cylinder 1 can a injector make a Loud nocking noise and Specially when is hot
daniella lopez01 they can do a cylinder cut out test when the truck is cold and also when it is warm. This might help see if an injector is bad. The bottom end helps with oil pressure.
Mariano Covarrubias absolutely you can just buy the seal. I recommend to buy the kit, that includes the line and the seal. Detroit recommends that once a fuel line if removed that it always be replaced with a new line. Don’t forget to torque the line after.
Can you just remove fuel line and replace seal only ...without having to remove intake / cover ? Basically if the injector is not being touched just seal leaking can it be a quick 10 to 20 min fix or would it require realigning line with injector?
Chris Hale no, it would not require that you realign the injector since it is secured in place. I always remove the valve cover just to make sure I am centered when I install the fuel line. Although i am sure you can try, but to remove the air filter and the valve cover only take about 30 minutes or so.
Cool rather be safe I'll just take covers off... Now I noticed I'm getting small leak seems to be diesel around seals but I noticed guy above said oil leaking 🤷♂️ mine seems to be diesel and seems to pool and roll to the back of motor and drip on the crankshaft sensor . Does this seem correct as far as being diesel and not oil or am I missing something... I work on gas 26yo new owner operator so I'm learning basics. Thanks in advance
Chris Hale could be diesel, when the tube meets the injector there is a small o-ring on the injector. I recommend to spray brake cleaner around the seal, start the engine and see if you can determine if it’s diesel or just motor oil. You may have to keep the RPM’s up for awhile to see where the leaking is coming from. Does it smell like diesel? Also, check the Hi Pressure lines off of the Hi Pressure pump. One of those may be leaking.
I purchased the one in the video from Snap-On (P/N 1250), I am pretty sure you can something similar from Harbor Freight or some place similar. Also, I know Detroit sell an injector puller (J-47391), I have seen some online from $500 on up towards $900 but the tool I use works just as well and less expensive.
from all other great videos posting Detroit work. you are, hands down the best in explaining every detail of your video. excellent work

@@CarlosDieselElectric Thanks for the response. It's 2015. Valve adjustment was done not long before the injector swap. I assumed the mechanic, that did the swap, also did the codes, but I'll double check that. Thank you.
Where did you get the part #
Its on the actual injector, usually starts with RA47 number. The number can be difficult to see, just need to find the right angle.
Hi Carlos, where i can download or buy the software that you used to put MCM codes? Thank you.
Great question, the Standard version I use will allow you to make parameter changes (increase mph, increase cruise control etc), clear fault codes, change horse power and perform some troubleshooting. But will not allow for factory software updates or programming. It can do a lot of what the professional version can do and is about half the price.
What are you trying to do?
@@CarlosDieselElectric thanks for responding. I got cascadia dd15 2018 with 550k ODO. So i need to change all my injectors and do valve adjustment.
the problem is that when I try to start my truck it makes an incomprehensible sound (chick chick...) and the CHECK lights up. but after a few tries the truck starts up.
@@firdavsnigmatov sounds like you might have air in the fuel line system. Before you change your injectors try to resolve the issue first. If you are cranking the engine a few times before it starts then you maybe getting in the fuel system. Check the fuel line in (inlet) and the fuel line out (return). The fittings maybe sucking air. This may cause the sound you are talking about.
Have you done or have you had any work done to the truck?
@@CarlosDieselElectric Ok, I'll make sure to check.
If you mean the engine, than no I haven't done it except for changing 1 of injector fuel line seal (since there was a leak) . But in general, I have recently changed my Def NOX sensors (inlet and outlet) in the dealership.
@@firdavsnigmatov how long have you had this problem?
Nice job mate big thumbs up 👍
If you have 1 bad injector replacement them all. A matter of time before you have to open it up again
I agree with you, but I can only do what the customer will authorize. These injectors are expensive.
What part number are you useing? On the box or on injector? My number is not working. Tried caps etc. wtf
hddm3 assuming it is a Freightliner. What is the last six of the number? Let me see if I can try and look it up.
Carlos Diesel Electric I got it finally. Thank you
hddm3 if I remember correctly you have to input the part number on the injector. Which did you input?
What part of the state u guys out of
We are in Southern California. About 30 minutes away from downtown LA.
hi my friend i need your help the shop remove the rocker arm and everything look good so they dont now what is making the nois thay say that is coming from cylinder 1 can a injector make a Loud nocking noise and Specially when is hot
daniella lopez01 so is the noise at low and high idle?
when is cold is low sound bout when hot high sound the shop says is coming from cylinder 1 Area can it be the injector
i did the bottom end 7 month ago and brand new oil pump was install
daniella lopez01 they can do a cylinder cut out test when the truck is cold and also when it is warm. This might help see if an injector is bad. The bottom end helps with oil pressure.
I did the main bearings Trust bearings Also Preciate you helping me out
I have a oil leak from a injector seal cani buy just the seal or I need to buy the whole tube thank you
Mariano Covarrubias absolutely you can just buy the seal. I recommend to buy the kit, that includes the line and the seal. Detroit recommends that once a fuel line if removed that it always be replaced with a new line. Don’t forget to torque the line after.
Can you just remove fuel line and replace seal only ...without having to remove intake / cover ? Basically if the injector is not being touched just seal leaking can it be a quick 10 to 20 min fix or would it require realigning line with injector?
Chris Hale no, it would not require that you realign the injector since it is secured in place. I always remove the valve cover just to make sure I am centered when I install the fuel line. Although i am sure you can try, but to remove the air filter and the valve cover only take about 30 minutes or so.
Cool rather be safe I'll just take covers off... Now I noticed I'm getting small leak seems to be diesel around seals but I noticed guy above said oil leaking 🤷♂️ mine seems to be diesel and seems to pool and roll to the back of motor and drip on the crankshaft sensor . Does this seem correct as far as being diesel and not oil or am I missing something... I work on gas 26yo new owner operator so I'm learning basics.
Thanks in advance
Chris Hale could be diesel, when the tube meets the injector there is a small o-ring on the injector. I recommend to spray brake cleaner around the seal, start the engine and see if you can determine if it’s diesel or just motor oil. You may have to keep the RPM’s up for awhile to see where the leaking is coming from. Does it smell like diesel? Also, check the Hi Pressure lines off of the Hi Pressure pump. One of those may be leaking.
Where can I buy the tool to pull the injectors need to name
I purchased the one in the video from Snap-On (P/N 1250), I am pretty sure you can something similar from Harbor Freight or some place similar. Also, I know Detroit sell an injector puller (J-47391), I have seen some online from $500 on up towards $900 but the tool I use works just as well and less expensive.
