Banks Diesel did a bunch of testing and found out the same thing these guys did, the thrashing of oil between the gears is causing heat and large losses , this is an effective system that tackles a problem which has been overlooked for years
I love Detroit parts and engines. The engine retarder system is so much better than the other trucks I've been driving. They actually work for example lol.
75k miles * 7mpg = 10700 gallons * $3.25 = $34,700 * 1.5% = $521 in savings per year. If it breaks once, I bet it will cost more than that to fix. I find it hard to believe they can get the 1.5% increase.
@@gardemeister and you forgot to add that when they start to fail it will cost more to fix than those 60 000 at a year , there is no point on that piece of engineering, really pointless
@@williamjones4483 I've driven a million miles on a truck with Eaton-Fuller 18-speed and floated the gears most of the time. The only failure was a clutch replacement near the time of the truck was sold. Eaton-Fuller transmissions will go the distance if you drive them properly.
@@hudsondonnell444 I never said they wouldn't. A well maintained Detroit Diesel or Cummins engine will go past a million miles also. I only stated what the standard warranty is on Eaton transmissions and rear axle assemblies. Detroit warranties their engines for 500,000 miles.
My truck leaking air while driving.I think Lube Management Air controller broke down.new cascadia drop service tank psi from 125to 100 only 15 seconds.
Demand Detroit how does this work when the truck breaks down and needs to be towed. Is the tow operator supposed to sit in traffic and pull all four axles or can he have some sort of "comfort" laying underneath the broken unit pulling the driveshaft?
After watching the video, it states that, upon loss of air pressure, the valve will default to full open. As a towing operator, I supply air to the tractor. However the key is OFF so there will be no computer input. Do I need to pull all 4 axles? Or can I simply disconnect the driveline and disconnect & cap the air line to the differentials, therefore defaulting them to a full lubrication setting?
Supply air and disconnect driveshaft like normal, no need to pull axles and mess with air lines to the axles. Since no torque is being transmitted to the axles, the lower level would still be enough.
1.5% that's not very much and the only time you'd notice that is when that valve got stuck shut and your rear end locked up it's an interesting concept but I wouldn't have nothing to do with it
All these pseudo-engineers with their "More things to fail"... Jesus that is why they are probably running carburetor's and solid wheels, Less things to go wrong I guess right?
1.5 % more efficiency my ass and if this crap fail you pay 1K$ oil thickness will vary in temperature and viscosity all year long,so oil flow is already fluctuating. Can't you just work on useful things,like weight reduction,aerodynamic,cooling fins,and really useful non failing parts ?
WARNING: Hello I bought a kit for my Silverado and the little silver nuts with the nylon are to soft of a metal to use safely on a vehicle. I just used a little 8 inch hand wrench and the nut pulled the threads right out .So I hope nobody uses these nuts and bought better nuts. Somebody could get killed driving down the road with these faulty low grade nuts.
Yeah not really impressed ring and pinions have been immersed in oil since day one the best way to cool them keep them working your little 1.2% gain doesn't really impress me

can i use this video for teaching

minimum 130-150 k per year. Thats 1000 $. For trucking company that has 60 trucks 60x1000= 60 000 $ a year. Free fuel for one truck .

Eaton transmissions and rear axles have a 750,000 mile warranty. I imagine that Detroit will have a similar warranty to be competitive.

I could watch that all day. see through diff.
do a transmission next.

Detroit Diesel is so cool.
🤦🏼♂️🤣 1.5% efficiency increase to add another point of failure? Those engineers are past their point of failure and need replaced.
Up to a massive 1.5 percent. I’ll scrap everything and buy this
They seem to have engineered around a problem that doesn't exist
From my observation, I think 1.5% is exagerated

I demand that is built in DETROIT
It's cheaper and easier added LUCAS synthetic oil supplement to the diff.

Fill in everything with oil .

Why though

Nah can it withstand jungle roads???i think not this is just a piece of steel for flat roads..
It is so unnecessary

Nope... fail!!!
More and more stupid electronic rubbish to go wrong and let you and your customers down. Pointless engineering and a minimal gains.
So so right the guys that invented this is not going to fix it
And when warranty runs out you better dig deep in those pockets.
bullshiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Unnecessarily engineering just buy a Tesla electric semi
Angel Cruz when you want overly efficient complex and cool thing..
They still use these heavy duty axels in the back.
