  Summary

  Warranty Information Letter for Detroit New Service Replacement Engine SRT Update. While validating Standard Repair Times (SRTs) for Detroit's new Gen 5 engine series, DTNA discovered an error in a pre-Gen 5 SRT for the New Service Replacement Engine Program. As a result, DTNA re-studied the SRT and concluded that time for removing/re-installing multiple components (e.g., exhaust manifold/turbo, engine sensor harness, rocker arm assemblies, etc.) should not be included.

  Summary

  Freightliner Service Bulletin for Front HVAC Evaporator Freezing and Espar Heater Cool Down Algorithm. New Cascadia vehicles with sleeper cabs may become extremely cold when in A/C mode, which can lead to reduced airflow as a result of internal ice buildup at the evaporator. Durability of the Espar D5 heater system when paired with the battery parked HVAC system (BPHS) can be improved by applying "cool down" software to the parked control unit (PCU).

  Summary

  Revised Freightliner Service Bulletin for Axle Flange Gasket Replaced with O-Ring. Revision removed steps instructing removal and installation of wheels. Daimler Trucks North America has released a new axle shaft to hub rubber O-ring (part number 11-30728-000) as a replacement for the paper gasket (part number 11-14418-000). The new O-ring will provide better sealing and is reusable. It is quicker and easier to use compared to the paper gasket, because using a paper gasket requires cleaning the hub when the axle shaft is removed.
