Torqued_Up Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 It may just be me but have things quieted down a lot lately or what??? Since having done many recalls it seems that many of the once daily repairs like EGR valves & EBP sensors have all but vanished! I am only seeing the occasional oil leak and a few oddball failures.

Jim Warman Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Well.... we're seeing HPOP failures... winter is coming and I have to wonder about oil coolers.... Seems they can't change just one thing... when they "fix" one concern, the feel the need to introduce two to take it's place. We had a bunch of Focus exhausts that "froze off" in cold weather.... Apparently, no lessons were learned from the Escort/LN7/EXP concerns from the early 80s..... I can't remember where I heard it.... if we don't learn from our history, we are doomed to repeat it... Young puppies, as a rule, call us old dogs many names and disregard our advice as the "ramblings of an old man".... I can remember that time in my life where I "knew everything there was to know...". I see the cycle repeating... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torqued_Up Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rofl.gif Are you seeing the quick disconnect fittings going bad or the actual pumps themselves? I don't see any reason for those fittings to be honest with you. They make a simple component more complex than it needs to be and of course it's the extra doo-dads that fail.

Ihatevans Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 We replace injectors like crazy still here. My dealership is all commercial, so with poor maintenance, these things die pretty regularly. EGR Valves are also a biggie from extended idle times most of these trucks see in the field.

Jim Warman Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Ed... we see few with fitting failures... most of the ones we see show the IPR screen damage... Did quite a few oil coolers last winter and then nothing... they seem to be coming back again, too. One thing about pattern failures... at least you have the chance to improve your times...

Keith Browning Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 That would have been worth taking a picture of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
