Worked like a charm. No issues.

I shaved the 20mm part of the dowel slightly just to be sure. Everything looks good so far.

The step is flush with the head surface, so I figure it would be the same as if it had a 19mm hole. That part of the gasket gets crushed normally, so I don't see any concerns arising from it.

Mine hasn't because I never use it.

I found his gasket sitting on the engine mount. Noticed it while replacing the oil cooler orings. The reservoir has all new gaskets in it now and starts great.

Have a 2005 here with the heads off. One head was replaced 3 years ago and is the commonized design with the stepped dowel pins, 19mm block, 20mm head. I am using the 6079 gasket kit with 19mm dowel gaskets and I do not want to open up another kit for one gasket. Has anyone used the 19mm headgaskets with the stepped dowel? All clearences look good. I was planning on putting the dowel in through the gasket from the top, then setting the head on.

Ya, that too. It's amazing how much simple stuff you forget when you rely on scan tools.

Been there, except it was my Windstar. Both rear wheel cylinders siezed. What a stink. Managed to back off the shoes and limped it into work. Did the job in the parking lot cause all the bays were full though.

Talked to the customer. He removed the reservoir thinking he had too inorder to change the HPOP. He recalls losing the lower gasket with the filter screen, and used silicone to seal it. That's my starting point now.

I have just noticed that the reservoir has also been removed because there is silicone around it. Is it possible for the oil to drain past the seal into the front cover opening that accesses the HPOP gear?

Truck has been sitting for 6 years. Had hpop replaced, now has long crank. Drove it in and let it sit over night. Res. empty. Cranked engine and it filled pretty quick. 20 minutes later and the res is half full now. Removed IPR and checked orings, they look ok. Reviewed all info I have on this engine and can't find any path for this res. to empty into. Where is the oil going?

I have seen trucks with 200,000 KM that have the factory STC. I figure it's load related. All the one we get in either pull a trailer, have a welder, or fill the box full of stuff.

If you really had to, you could unplug 1 injector at a time and see if it runs any differant. The ones that don't create a change in idle would be the bad ones. I would still try to get a scan tool, or take it someone that has one to get it scanned, then do the work yourself.

Well, you do have more important things to worry about than NOX sensors Jim.

Not to be a bugger Jim, but the first SSM is 21894. It worked for me yesturday. Sadly our other diesel tech did the initial diag on friday, so I didn't check OASIS. I had done the reprogram, reseting, roadtest, NOX sensor, reseting, regen. Only to have the code return. Went to contact hotline and this new SSM had appeared. Perfromed the procedure and BINGO, all fixed. What a lot of wasted time, all documented MT, so lets see if I get paid.

P164A reseting after performing TSB 11-04-21. When reseting nitrogen oxide tables, you must do it 10 times. If it still resets, roadtest in manual 5 at 55 MPH and perform ten 5 second coast downs with no accell. pedal input. Check MODE 6. Confirm 02 SENSOR ADAPTIVE LEARNING ERROR is in range (0.9-1.20). If not perfrom 5 more coast downs.

We "fixed" ,and I say that cautiously, one last week. Now the customer says his mileage jumped from 17L per 100k towing, up to 25L per 100k. He is a little pissed. Which is funny because he has been our most adamant customer, wanting the update and all. Most others are calmly waiting this out.

Good to hear from you Jim.

Thoughts and prayers for all in Slave Lake. Good news is that no-one has been hurt, according to the morning news.

Something I ponder each and every day Jim.

Who's Leon?

I am starting to think we need to change the sensor and module together.

Seems a little redundant to put the screen in with the EGR cooler when you get one with the oil cooler. Typically you should get intake gaskets and turbo mounting hardware. What would make sense would be a kit to service both coolers in one box.

I also recall that discussion. IIRC it was mainly on the old style pump because they typically fail more than the new ones.

There is a broadcast message stating the 11B23 recall added the ability to perform manual regeneration on trucks with a high soot load. About time, I can't count how many DPFs I have replaced because it wouldn't do it manually. All of them oil field units too.
