I heard about that too. I tried that on one that someone else was doing and I couldn’t get it to move. We have one of those things you bolt on and whack with the hammer and that won’t touch these things either. 

Yeah that bolt on tool is crap even on regular wheel bearings that don't get so corroded in

We were taking spindle off and using the press. I had heard about cutting wheel studs off and using bolts and nuts to push hub from spindle. This is best way I have found

What hoist do u have?

In my dealership, I've told my SM that if I can't drive it into my shop (because it's too long), or I can't walk under it (because I can't lift it), I won't work on it PERIOD. I'm getting too old for that kind of shit.

We have 4 18k rotory hoist in this building. Plenty of service trucks I cant lift.  But have it made for the most part

Bolts came out fine. But it's a 17 with 6k on it and I had put alot of antisieze on when I had them out previously. This one set code for the injector in dpf when I went to replace it  threads galled and it locked up so it got a dpf. I noticed trans leak then added dye. 

Sounds like they replaced the egr cooler (partially restricted) replacing all egt sensors. Sent dpf out for cleaning and are inspecting DOC. He would buy a scan tool that will work on this to bring with truck to me if reasonable priced and does all we need it to. Any suggestions?

3.2L Transit for leak from front of trans

Can still get e series cutaways. Have several guys trading in transits back in for e series they didn't realize they were still available until I showed them.

I have found these helpful.

He took the truck in to different place then before see what happens

Ok that's what I was afraid of. I found on quickserve where to convert the codes.

Thanks, back where I was before need better tool to really diag it.

I wonder if that's what the guys at the shop are doing also chasing wrong code. Is there a way to know what Cummins code ppt I should follow on quickserve?

Ok that's what I was afraid of

No I don't have access to any different scanner for medium duty. I figured that had to be an error on that pid. I made an account on quickserve.cummins  as an owner and it shows fault 3251 as dpf intake temp sensor high. That would make me want to look into the egt sensors based on my experience with ford egt. Would it be worth while to ohm egt when cold. Or without a better medium duty scan tool am I just pissing around. Previously I told him at my end with my limitation on scan tool and info. But with the shops he has working on it throwing parts at it and his frustration I am trying to be helpful.

Hope this helps

I will get the esn number. Any ideal what that pid is?

He is having issue with this truck again. He had the engine replaced and they have thrown some parts at it in the last few months. Any advise on this code. My otc encore doesn't have alot of pids but ecu at 3k seems high to me

No haven't seen that yet. I had a so called diesel performance shop  call and ask me how long after replacing the glow plugs does it usually take to get compression to come back up. They replaced glow plugs with new style and it still sets low contribution codes. I didn't know how to respond to that. 

Itonly works good on stock pickups removing lines with tank. Then any upfit pickup and all cab and chassis that method doesn't work. So that's when I found the disconnect tools. I probably work on 70 percent upfit so leaving lines attached not feasable

Our local ambulance company has a 2013 f450 with the rear leaf springs removed and air ride installed. I was lucky enough to work on it today. After a lot of looking around and calling I was able to find  H00700KCH KCA Manual.pdf  With this info I found no power to module followed wire and repaired the corroded wire and its back in service.

That would be nice to try out.

FYI I quit even attempting to remove the def tank hoses at the tank. They are usually full of mud, gravel.  I unbolt them at the fender and pull them down with the tank.

I used to take the lines out with tank then I bought these and have been removing the lines from tank again

Yeah, I am sure I have before. I just had Rh head off a 12 e350 5.4 in chassis

That's good to know. Thanks for sharing. All starting issues on that style for me have been ignition switch housings.
