PLUS SERVICES, in response to your post:I have a copy of the technical service buletin if anyone needs a copy. This is a quick after market fix and we have had good luck with it. The Detroit Diesel /Mercedes rep has been very understanding about this problem and I have got some financial help from him even on trucks that are beyond the waranty period. I even took a cooler out and had it cleaned at a radiator shop and it's still working.
could you please send a copy of this to me as well at [email protected]. i just bought a truck that has had this repaired by seller, but i want to read about it too. thank you very much. Harley

HELP asap!
I am in need of the service bulletin copy and or the number. Have been getting the run around from freightliner, detroit, and daimler about not being able to give me that info or even helping be with it. Getting really frustrated over it all. Seems like no one wants to admit to anything and they're hiding something from me. Have a 2007 M-2 with 210,000 miles. Have gone through 3 coolers and 2 valves and also a turbo. Haven't gotten much help on it. My local detroit dealer said they don't work on the mercedes anymore because of the problems. My freightliner dealer quoted me $900 for a new valve. I'm looking for help on the fix and or assistance resolving this through the tsb. Please e-mail me or reply back.
All help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Call Midway Ford in Kansas City, Mo., and ask for heavy truck service. There is a bulletin board just outside the customer entry door to the service department. The only thing you'll find there is the TSB that regards the installation of a check valve between the radiator and the coolant bottle, which is supposed to alleviate the problem. Unknown if it totally cures it, but mine has 220k on it since we replaced the cooler and valve.
If yours only has 210k miles on it, I'd assume that the last valve is less than a year old (a guess). That part should be warranteed. Find a different Detroit shop. It's their product.

we had our done and it has the new check valve. So far so good mileage has jumped up good. A shop in anniston al did ours. Garretts truck service and they were cheaper than dealer and do excellent work. Allen is over the shop he is the one to talk to.
A real mechanic will find the problem correct the problem yes, replace needed parts even expensive non servicable ones and the problem will be gone.
Problem with most shops they hire ASE certified parts sellers (service writers) and parts installers. For example I've seen it done replace head gaskets and not check and deck the head or inspect the block and bores. Or replace the blown turbo and not change air filters, clean the plumbing, and do a proper oil change.
That why I to do my own work as much as posiable and what I cant or dont want to do I use a good mechanic not a derailership.

Regardless whether or not your a mechanic it's a good thing to buy a service manual that covers the type engine you have. You don't want to be completely ignorant when talking to a mechanic who is about to take several thousand dollars out of your pocket and may not know anymore than you. You can just Google up your engine type and put manuals next to it and you can send off for them. Any good owner operator with thousands of dollars invested in a machine should know something about it. The hundred buck's you invest in a book could save you thousands later down the road.
Can you please send me the bulletin thank you [email protected]
Can you send me a copy of the TSB to admir08@gmail(dot)com? I know that post is old but I just replaced my EGR valve for the 2nd time. It hasn't been 200k since I replaced the first one. Trying to avoid wasting $900+ every time for new EGR valve.
Have you noticed any issues once you installed a relief valve between the radiator and the reservoir antifreeze tank? Have you noticed any benefits or issues with the EGR valve? How long did the EGR valve last you since you added the check valve?
