    Attention: very extended warranty coverage

    Hino is covering several different parts under warranty on many trucks. NOx sensors, def tank sensors, DPFs (and engine fuel injectors if they caused the DPF to fail) pm sensors and def injectors. Maybe turbos on the cabovers too.

    I've been absent lately.

    The shop where I work caught on fire in November. A lousy Ford E-350 shuttle bus decided to spontaneously ignite in the middle of the night. The insurance people said that those things burst into flames all the time. How reassuring. Life is just now starting to return to normal.

    Hino hood bandaid

    Coalminer, this one's for you! Spongebox sent a truck my way. Floppy hood syndrome. It was bad. For those that don't know, the hoods of 05-10 Hinos with 6 cylinder engines have hoods that are fragile. They break around the hinges, sometimes very badly. When it's bad, the hood latches are...
