For the coolant tank saying its low when it's not.. paccar has a bad design on the sensor float it uses a magnet. Sometimes it may get stuck you could try taping the sensor area lightly to get it unstuck and also carry a magnet and run it from bottom of sensor to up and it will normally pull it back into place.

You can also try taking unplugging the sensor and take it out and clean it off and put it back in. For those who are unsure no coolant will leak out of the sensor hole.

I was driving the same Pete but set up as a quad axle dump truck. Had the same issue with the coolant; I think it was the coolant sensor faulting on the tank. We had 4 of the same trucks and all of them have constant def issues. You need a guy that can delete it or it’ll be nothing but issues. If you idle kick it into hi idle, or else just turn it off.

Coolant issue is a sensor issue with the coolant tank, the magnetic level part in the tank may be goofed up, necessitating a new tank (warranty) Loosing coolant might be from a hose in the frame on the right side (below the turbo) it's a bitch to get to, but it'll need a second clamp. (Factory only installs one, it needs to be double clamped) or at the very minimum, tightened up, it might be loose.

@Vintage1976

2 жыл бұрын

Yup, almost every new Cummins engine has that issue. Also, that line tends to leak only when the engine is cool after shutdown. When it's hot the line swells shut on the clamp.

They are known to have problems with the def level gauge also have found on both a 17 pete and 19 kw the wiring harness coming out of def tank will chaff wires and cause shorting problems usually where they tie it to the frame or a airline. Just a thought

Salute , Blessings to everyone grind and motivations....

Take as long as you want with the truck maintenance,, it's part of the show, 👍

If your having problems with the dpf and one box. My suggestion. Get a bore scope. Pop off one side of the Egr cooler. Pop off down pipe to one box. Check for wetness. I’ve diagnosed and changed 4 already on the new Cummins motors already this year.

Mate you need to put half fenders on to stop stuff hitting the back of the bunk!! You'd be chipping up that beautiful blue paint!

It’s always a good night when Bruce posts on KZread love the new style of videos

I love seeing trucking content like this out of Florida! Sunshine State represent!

Gotta find an old short haul pre emission truck. We were looking at a new truck and when talked to some drivers we decided to buy used pre emissions truck. We found a 2001 Pete that was a milk truck had 117,000 original miles just pulling a milk tank. Only problem we have had after 2 years is s-cam bushings on the rear axle.

Pittsburgh power max mileage! Stuff works! Become a dealer I use it in my 4044r, pick up, and 22 Pete. Absolutely no issues with dpf, sensors, etc. Uses less DEF and gets better mpg. It pays for itself easily. Many videos on youtube for ur own research.

Thank you for the video.Maybe that issue was the sensor from the coolant and you need to change it.Wish you all the best!

So what was the solution to the trailer? Also a quick tip, the straps belong on the inside of the rub rail on the trailer not the outside. Only time they go on the outside is if you absolutely can’t get them thru.

Make sure u zip tie that coolant sensor had the same thing happen to my 579. Also invest in OTR performance diagnostic tool to reset them codes. Always have 3-5 gallons of coolant in truck

My 2018 567 had a low coolant light several times. Turned out to be a bad float in the tank that would stick periodically and kick the light and buzzer on. Ended up having to replace the coolant bottle. I've also had check engine lights for the DEF quality sensor (common problem according to the dealer) as well as the DPF temp sensor. So get ready for those as well. 🤬

Check those def cooler lines. My freightliner just had this same issue, found a broken fitting. Seems to be a common issue with the newer trucks now. Hope you get it sorted

You gotta suspend them airlines between the pogostick and the trailer so they don't chafe There is a coolant line going into the frame on the passenger side that always leaks you might just have a bad coolant sensor

You have my luck, you can buy it new and still have a few bugs in it! Be safe and God Bless!! Can't wait for the next post!!!!

The low coolant sensor just clips into the bottom of the overflow tank and can be removed without leaking any coolant. Theres a float inside the tank and i think sometimes they get hung up giving a false reading

Correct

Articulated equipment the lock must be in place to be compliant or your chain placement must be pulling against each other in each section of the articulated equipment.

Seems like the first 100k these trucks have all sorts of issues with DPF and DEF sensors and wiring but they seek to calm down and do well from 175k to 300,000 miles just remember to get the system serviced regularly

can't get used to your clean face it looks funny 😄

Personally for myself I like the ratchet binders versus the snap binders you can get the ratchets a lot tighter than you can the snap binders

Working on the same coolant issue with my 389. If it’s the same I fought with low coolant warnings for several weeks and started getting pressure in my coolant tank. Turned out to be the Egr cooler which magically no one has atm

Put a half twist on thoes straps on the bucket so they won't vibrate in the wind. 😊

I’ve got a 2015 Pete 389. I had to replace that coolant tank last year for the float getting stuck and giving a false reading.

Love that flip up bumper too. Nice truck

i love how the bumper flip up that is cool man

The coolant sensor could be shorting out but when the engine cools down check it where its plugged in on the reservoir

usually find that a water bottle without a max line then use the seam on the bottle as a maximum mark. anymore can lead to overfilling the coolant bottle and not allow for too much expansion, and cause over heating issues. nearly any other fluid like screen wash you can fill nearly to the brim, but when it comes to water and oil, both need to be a certain level Bruce.

@michaelthomas3646

and with the case of the truck whereby the seam is lop sided, so the seam is at an angle always fill to the lowest part of the bottle seam.

Absolutely killin it Bruce. Helps keep me motivated I know where you started man!

You probably won't see this but you need to get them air lines off the frame of your truck. Should be atleast the very least a finger distance keep up the good work tho

On my families farm we have two western stars that are newer ones a 550 x15 and the other is a dd16 and the the cummins was having problems almost every 2 months with the emission’s and we just got both trucks filters gutted but the egr is still intact i think we should of gotten the egr taken off bc the cummins blew off a boot that had something to do with the egr i cant remember what it was but a delete is best when you have those problems

If the engine is using coolant, you better get it checked out as it can clog up the diesel particulate filter if its going out the exhaust.

Oh by the way beautiful truck brother. I'm jealous!

It is nice feeling to save the Pete's With Cats.....They come alive to work...That 550E cat.. is a strong engine ...build it to 650 hp.... Put a 18 sd..3:36 ...your top split gear. Be your passing gear.....I love my set up..I avg 8 with it... hauling farm equipment John Deere and Cat stuff..

Cross threading the cap helps with coolant pressure on the ISX

Man when I got a new new truck with 330 miles on it. I think somewhere around 10k miles I was shutdown for a leaking dpf . I never broke down in my 06 pete 379. This new 579 pete just sucked. It's got a 9 speed with a Cummins

Coolant sensor might be faulty, I drive same model Pete with 26k miles and the exhaust system light came on as well

Yes they that’s what I’m having problems with mine to

You might have to replace the coolant bottle , sometimes it’s a bad sensor but most time problem is the bottle

Just some advice on your trailer. Stop running your straps over the rub rail, you're going to bend the shit out of it and your trailer will look like hammered hell! If you have to run your straps over the rub rail run them on top of a spool or stake pocket.

Have the same problems with my DPF AND DEF SYSTEMS this is the worst mistake dealers installed on trucks it's a never ending problem with the DEF DPF SYSTEM

I’m so glad that crap wasn’t on my trucks when I was hauling Every time I see a new truck I feel bad for the owner that’s trying to make payment and feed the family.

New camera audio is perfect

So I can't help but Wonder I wasn't going to say anything but as a over-the-road truck driver I can't help but wonder if he does a pre-trip or he just hops behind the wheel and goes

i’m self employed i’m an owner operator and i hate having to deal with that def system on these newer truck i drive a 2015 freightliner Cascadia

Liking the fact you added a camera man and editing. Much better content delivery. Keep up the great work.

It’s more than likely your coolant sensor on the serge tank there common for not reading so they’ll throw a code and make you think something’s wrong when it’s not

If you pull both caps on the coolant Reservoir you will get more coolant in it

That's a typical Cummins thing with the ISX and newer they R picky, they get down just a little bit with the antifreeze and they will derate on U!

Have you tried Pittsburg Power Mile (mileage) Maximizer. I have a 579 and haven’t had an issue with DPF DEF. Got 150k+ miles on it now. And I idle when temperatures aren’t ideal for a good rest period
