Very educative video for diy guys like me. I have been using Rotella t6 at intervals of 15 to 20k Miles because we do several miles weekly. Also i did accidentally left about 5 gallons of gas on one of the diesel tanks while cleaning it. Also had worked on injector O rings recently. Maybe I contributed the issue in one way or the other

I'm currently in the process of repairing my 2012 maxxforce dt that had this same problem. My maintenance was always done regularly. This is an international problem. They should be paying to fix this.

Thanks for taking the time to address my questions Joe. How do you feel about doubling up on the bridges/wishbones as added security against one breaking? Secondly, can I use a lighter viscosity oil other than 15w-40? I’ve got a 1998 DT466e with about 140k miles and 6300 engine hours. I’m doing 6000 mile interval oil changes. I appreciate your channel and all the work that goes into making these videos. Your guidance is invaluable in my opinion.

We started using full synthetic oil in our units. We’re doing changes every 8k miles on ours. There have been way less breakdowns on our fleet but not going to say the oil is the reason. It’s just keeping up with them on a timely fashion. Some of our older units (2006 with dt466E) are roughly at 300k and are still running strong. I work on school bus fleet with a lot of idle time. Our drivers are spoiled and can’t be without a/c. Thank you for your comment my friend. Hit me up if you have any questions I might be able to answer for you.

I did a repair on a DT466, with the help from Joe. best Sensei in the business. I had the same problem with the tappets breaking and lifters turning. I went ahead and doubled up on the tappets as the manual I used for repairing recommended it. So far so good. it has been about 15 months and it has been running strong. Using Mobil Delvac. since the truck doesn't run on highway much, I have been doing PMs every 6 months. Would this be the best way to go about PMs? truck is only used locally and travels about 15-30 miles daily. she's more on the idle side most of the time

are you planning on doubling the keepers/ wishbones? is it even possible?

Hey Joe I have the same issue with my truck. I can’t seem to get the lifters out. They must be mushroomed pretty bad. How did you get yours out? One is really far down.
