Thanks for your video . My truck freightliner cascade evo dd15 2016 . The truck has 480k mileage I used to have 7.3mpg stable eamty or loaded Recently the number gos down to 6.3 . I did engine filter changed and still going 6.3 mpg
Hey bro just found your channel. I am sitting on the highway in Alberta Canada at 3am because my engine keeps derating due to high soot level. Did 2 regens and still getting derated. Excited to watch your channel. Thanks for the knowledge
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.
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!!
I'm fm Dallas,TX. I hv seen your videos. Looks n sounds like y'all kw y'all's engine's. Good info on DD15. When I hv time n more money, I'm cmin to y'all. No more Freightliner, Permier Truck Group. Every time I get my baby out of their shop. There's smthing wrong with my rig, that's not right. I go bk n tell them. N what I hear alll the time out of the their mouths. WE DIDN'T DO THAATT... I kw my truck. SO plzz help me with my baby. I need a good Mechanic that's not gonna fuck me over or anything else and I see that you guys r legit on the video's.
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.
Are all these recommendations exactly applicable to a Volvo D13 maintenance schedule? And if not, can you do one on the D13 please ? Keep up the GREAT work!
Hey I got a 2004 freightliner columbia I was trying to wire in a electric fan switch and touched some wires to something hot and instantly truck started running bad check engine light came on do you think I blew the ecm?
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
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
I get hesitation on my 2001 freightliner century on my high side more when I’m loaded it hesitates and bucks in 8th & 9th gear more ... I let off gas and it stops ... what you think ?
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.
Turbo job is very expensive. What’s reason of fail turbo . And how can we care and take look how bad or good condition is . It destroys DEF box too . Teach us pls
I drove 62 for a whole week and the best mpg I got was 6.7 so like wtf? I run the same 2 loads every week. One is 20k lbs and the other is 10k. Louisville to Jersey and then PA to Memphis
I have a freightliner coronado 12.7 60 series mid roof 10 speed no def dryvan great dane trailer hauling 40k or less on weight mpg now is 4.5 maybe 5.0 any suggestions 🤔
Hello tat, i bought some used Nissan UD GH13 which engine of volvo d13 and seems like my trucks are using 600litres to make 860Km.. And is sounds crazy.. Because other semi truck are using around 450litres to make same mileage as mentioned 860km But mine is 600litres for 860km any ideas Trucks doesn't smoke at all..
Ive got a 2006 volvo d12 and fuel economy is at 1.9 there's black or white smoke coming out of the exhaust No boost leak Had the valves adjusted Has 1.1million km Not sure what else to do any thoughts maybe egr delete?
Why I feel I have more power by using the Cruise control than just using the fuel paddle….if have the cruise on then I want to speed using the fuel paddle I feel like I’m driving corvette…but if cruise off …have no power
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 .
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 ?

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 🤷🏻♂️
Good info, make sure to follow this great instruction for the best results!!
Keep it up Adam!!

What fuel/oil additives do you recommend?
Do a video on oil/diesel additives and what you’re thoughts are!
Thanks for watching Mack. That’s a good topic

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 .
If you have 2.47 rears you should never be at 1600 or 1700 rpm at 75 mph
@@michaellee5399 that's what in the manufacturer code in glove box

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 ?
I am getting an average of 6.3 miles per gallon on my Cummins
How much for a valve adjustment on a dd15 like to come in today if you are available Adam 2016 WS
Big Tex, come on by we can handle it.
Now the engine is purging when idling
DD15? It could be QCV or pump. I would have it troubleshot by an experienced shop.
Not sure why you arent talking of the importance of " coolant service" .
Still having suit enter my cab my face is always covered in black when taking a shower
Not good. Get the truck checked for exhaust leak.
That can kill you
Why nobody wants to talk about paccar engines. I heard you replace every part around the engine leaving the engine intact with no repairs
