Whatever the case, you need to properly prepare your truck for downtime. In this blog post, we will be sharing our insight on how downtime affects your truck(s) and what you can do to make sure that when you come back to it you aren’t facing any issues. 1st Tip: Change oil, add fuel stabilizer The lifeblood of your truck is the fluid systems. Assuming you are not lucky enough to store your truck in a climate-controlled facility, the truck is going to see a wide variety of temperatures. Do a fresh oil change, a coolant flush, top off the fuel tanks, and add stabilizer. I would even suggest replacing your water/fuel filters to ensure condensation does not build up over time. 2nd Tip: Hookup trickle charger if possible or use main shut off switch Now, it’s also important to know that even though your truck won’t be running the electrical system will still be active. There may be tiny draws but over time they can run the battery capacity down, leaving you with no power to start the truck back up when tha

What does ‘SCR NOx conversion efficiency low’ mean on Detroit Diesel DD13, DD15, DD16? Fault codes associated with Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) NOx efficiency low are the most dreaded codes you will find on the Detroit diesel application and can drive your costs high. Long story short, these fault codes mean that the efficiency in the aftertreatment system, aka the 1-Box, is not operating within the required threshold (70%). This measurement happens between your inlet and outlet NOx

The fault codes related to P1495/P1496 mean that the engine protection has been enabled causing the EGR to be disabled and the system to go into preventative safety measures. As a result, passive/active DPF regeneration is disabled as well. When a problem arises, you have 10 hours to fix the problem or else it goes into an EGR derate. This EGR derate on a Paccar limits your engine power up to 25-40%. The loss in power will prompt you to seek service at a repair shop or dealer.
