I had TA replace a radiator on a 2020 cascadia. Cost was 1800. Not only did they not tighten hose clamps, causing leaks only minutes after turning on, they also damaged the headlight wiring and i later found several missing nuts and screws under the hood. The moral of the story is, you get what you pay for.
SMH sorry that happened. It's a gamble weather. You get a good worker or a bad one, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Sometimes, Ta is the only spot around.
2015 Cascadia Cummins engine. Got the same code SPN 102 fmi 18. Went to the dealer, they found my air filter really dirty and one of my clamps was loose leaking air. Left shop all good. Next day under a heavy load and the code came back.
2015 cascadia yea that truck has been working for some time now. Just try to save money on the repair as far as labor. I like to go with dealer factory parts so be careful with generic brands I don't recommend because the warranty might give you an issue.
Went back to the dealer. They found my DPF filter cracked and breaking apart. Got new filters, they cleared all coded, did a forced regen and let me go. 50 miles down the road check engine light came back on spn 102 fmi 18. Turned around waiting for them to open in the morning. When they were inspecting it before they found the broken filter, they wrote down “verified turbo spins freely” I don’t know but I will find out what comes up tomorrow.
When I went back after changing the dpf filter, the dealer diagnosed the truck again and told me I had a bad SCR. It was very expensive. $6500 for the part and 2 hour labor. The way they explained it was my SCR was clogged blocking the exhaust which was backing up and causing intake issues because the truck could not breathe. I replaced the SCR and didn’t have that issue again. Btw I’m currently at 825,600 miles and turbo is still going strong.
When you were leased to admiral merchants do any agents near Maryland have direct customers or just in general do the agents have direct customers peace
There's an agent that books empty tanks out of Baltimore. There red, it's been a minutes not sure if they still have that account. Most of my loads where off DAT load board
@MDPvideo1 yea I'm getting SPN102 fmi18 been to 3 shops and I've even asked about the turbo and all 3 have said no, but I'm to the point of changing out the turbo and EGR acurator.
@MDPvideo1 my truck is deleted so freightliner is out of the question. They replaced intake temp sensor, fixed it until I had a load on a had a hard pull to make then light and code came back on started as intermittent now its back to constant, I really feel like the exhaust is clogged or the EGR acurator is not working properly

@faysal1200 did you end up finding out issue?
@@faysal1200what was the issue?

I replaced the turbo, air condenser, issue still not fixed. Same Code came back up
Sorry that you're going through it, not a mechanic but did you delete your DEF SYSTEM? If so you might get different results.
Also you have to use dealer parts not second hand or reman parts
Did the new turbo fix your problem
Yes. Are you getting the same code? Just make sure you diagnose your truck correctly to save time and money.

@cliffgarner76 what are they saying about the truck, and is your shop a certified freightliner shop or the dealer

@truckingwithcliff did you figure out your problem with that code?
