I worked in a non-diesel shop at one point, and the one thing I couldn't understand is why some mechanics would be so guarded and not want customers to know their own vehicles, having basic knowledge about your car or truck makes it easier to point a good mechanic or technician in the right direction and save you both time. I appreciate channels like yours for being informative on things like this!

15 years driving big rig here. My advice for anyone who is looking for a truck to buy for first time. Series 60 and cat engines are the best. If you are not in california buy those without def. But if you are in california then there's not much choice. Never buy cat motor if that truck has def system because it gonna keep blowing turbo.

Bro you give an abundance of knowledge out for free, and yet someone still clicks on your vids to give you a thumbs down, wtf?!🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
Keep up the great work!😎👍

746500 miles on my 2015 and the only small leak I had was oil pan gasket. Other than that it never leaked. All other OO in our company are driving Pete's with ISX's. All around the same milage. Mine gets better mpg while there's a little more powerful. We've all done similar maintenance to it, but Cummins is waay more expensive to fix. Turbo, injectors, fuel pump, you name it. Almost double the price of Detroit parts and they don't work particularly longer or better than Detroit. I'll stick to my dd15.

[shoptechnician]

i like where he says "we all know it's not a diesel engine if its not leaking oil" so true haha, thats what a motor is a big controlled oil leak.

[gatulanos]

im going from a c15 cat to a dd15 my old truck is a 2005 and my new one is a 2019 man technology has come a long way lol. thank you for this video there are a lot of different things that i am not used to

[mrdave]

I really like the Volvo D13. I love my DD15. Dependable as the best. Better fuel economy. And pulls so well!

[G.L.P.]

Wow u just save me a hole bunch of money thanks lot about low oil pressure thing

[tjg]

Awesome video mate

I’m definitely not a Detroit fan. We had a heap of issues with them over here in Australia for the company I was working for that ha them, oil and wiring issue, also didn’t like the way they drove
But anyway, everything has issues

[shrimpbrime]

It is, for sure, REQUIRED to check rod and main bearings on low oil pressure faults.
The #1 cause of oil pressure are the tube orings between the pick up and the pump.

Erratic oil pressure and low pressure are the symptoms. A manual gauge in the oil pressure sensor hole is recommended to confirm the fault with minimal engine run time as possible.

If a single scratch is seen on any bearing, the 550$ cost of the parts is great piece of mind.

This channel is gold. Keep up the good work man!

We had the low oil pressure problem on a DD13 in a Fire Truck. Unfortunately we didn't catch it in time and it cost us $50, 000 for a complete engine replacement. There is a recall on this problem but our truck was not included in the recall even though it was the exact same issue! Engine had less than 40, 000 miles on it! We also had a problem with the oil cooler causing oil and coolant to mix. These Detroit DD13'S (mostly a rebadged Mercedes engine) seem to be way too fragile for Emergency vehicles. We have had numerous other problems with them as well but I don't have all day to list them all!
Also, because our engines were not part of the recall, we received NO notification of the low oil pressure issue and Detroit Diesel flatly refused to cover any part of it!
Big thanks to TAT Express for putting this information out there!!

Researching to buy my first truck with a DD13, and this info is super helpful! Thanks bro!!!
