DD15 low oil pressure and what to look for.

What to look for when you have low oil pressure on your DD15, the DD13 is very similar so this video can be used towards both. If you have a low oil pressure fault code or your oil pressure is below normal. You should stop and have it looked at immediately.
Normal oil pressure when the engine is cold should be greater than 60 psi, as the oil temp begins to rise, normal operating temperature, the pressure will drop and at idle should around 15-25 psi.
In this particular incident my customer would get to a stop and the oil pressure would drop for a split second to ZERO. Luckily we were able to repair the issue and get the truck back on the road.

I'm pretty sure it's the plastic section manifolds that have the problem. The o-rings are a problem on either style I'm sure. I'm actually trying to research and find out if the plastic and cast aluminum suction manifolds are in fact interchangeable. Freightliner will tell you they're not even if they are so that's not a good source. It seems like it would be a direct swap. The metal one isn't going to crack from oil pressure and blow out like the plastic ones do. Those fail on the pressure side, the o-rings tend to fail on the vacuum side

@CarlosDieselElectric 7 ай бұрын

I agree with you. The older DD engines that first came out didn’t have the failure rate these plastic ones do. They are garbage IMO, I was told they will not line up underneath when they are installed. Something about the bolts on the suction module to the block. I have personally never checked.

So you recommend replacing the pickup tube because you had to remove it already? You didn't want to replace the front pump where the front of the tubes went into that were spinning? Trying to understand your thought of why replacing the pickup vs just cleaning it and replacing the seals. Not like it had metal through it , top is aluminum where the tubes and rings are , but so is the front oil pump where the front of the tubes went into that you didn't bother replacing.Trying to understand WHY you replaced that but didnt bother replacing the front pump where the tubes went into.......

@CarlosDieselElectric 2 жыл бұрын

The oil pump is very reliable, the failure typically occurs at the pickup tube (suction module) and the orings will harden and allow oil escape. The suction module has an internal valve that fails and will get stuck. In my opinion, I automatically replace the suction module and the orings because I don’t want to run the risk of it failing on my watch. Now if this is something you are doing on your own truck then it’s your decision to make. But I don’t want the responsibility of engine failure because I didn’t want to change a part that cost less than $200.

Hello. I have a 2015 cascadia DD15. I had my pick up tubes oil pump gaskets replaced. But I just found out that my mechanic didn’t change out the oil suction manifold. With that being said now I don’t have NO oil pressure so I’m getting someone to replace everything again including the oil suction manifold this time. Would I need to get a new oil pump again? It was replaced 2 months ago?

@CarlosDieselElectric 3 жыл бұрын

Oil pumps very seldom fail on the DD15 and DD13. Also try replacing the oil pressure sensor. Once everything is replaced, SUPER important to prime the oil system with at least 2-3 gallons in addition to the 10-11 gallons you are going to add. before trying to start the engine. I also like to soak the oil filter with clean motor oil.
