Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions
The purpose of this document is to properly identify and repair a leak at the rear gear housing boss.
Vehicle report
Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.

This document provides instructions for sealing oil leakage past the flywheel bolt holes on S13 engines. Oil leaking from behind the crankshaft gear may exit through the flywheel bolt holes and is often misdiagnosed as a rear crankshaft seal leak. This condition is confirmed by oil-saturated flywheel bolts and visible oil pooling in the flywheel bolt holes behind the gear.

The purpose of this article is to provide the user with the necessary tools and related manuals to maintain, diagnose, and repair an Espar Hydronic S3 Heater (GEN 3). The Espar Hydronic S3 (GEN 3) Auxiliary Heater is a diesel-fired coolant heater for maintaining cabin heat without running the engine. The heater uses fuel from the fuel tank to heat coolant before it goes to the heater core in the sleeper HVAC unit. The heater is located under the cab's sleeper area and is powered by the vehicle's batteries.

This tool is designed to compare Diamond Logic feature data across multiple vehicle configuration files. It allows users to quickly load files either manually or directly from the Diamond Logic Builder Vehicles folder using VIN-based selection. As files are added or removed, the comparison runs automatically with no manual action required. The program presents results in an interactive table that shows feature codes, descriptions, access levels, and whether each feature is present in each selected file. Built-in search, filtering, and sorting make it easy to locate specific features or focus only on differences between files. Column visibility can be customized to show or hide descriptions and access information as needed. Users can remove files individually or clear all files at once, with results updating instantly. The tool also includes reporting and export options that reflect exactly what is visible on screen, allowing results to be printed, copied, saved as text, or exported to CSV for use in Excel or other spreadsheet tools. Overall, the program streamlines the process of comparing vehicle feature configurations, helping users quickly identify differences, validate setups, and document results without manual comparison or external tools.

Feature code 0008TSJ for auto start stop is a feature that will allow you to preset values in the body controller to allow the truck to start when the battery voltage or engine oil temperature reaches the preset value. The engine will then run for a preset time after battery voltage is within programmed value (if the engine started for low voltage) or the engine will run until oil temperature reaches a programmed value (if the engine started for oil temperature).

In some geographic areas, ambient temperatures reaching below 40°F (4°C), including high levels of humidity, an operator may experience engine stalling, low performance, and/or poor aftertreatment performance. This is caused by condensation accumulating and freezing within the Charge Air Cooler (CAC); affecting air flow into the engine. This article lists currently available winter front covers that can be installed on the front grille and bumper to reduce cold air flow to the engine compartment.

In some instances, the driver's or passenger's door pod may become unresponsive, where it will not respond to any manual inputs from the driver or passenger. In some of these situations, it is possible for this symptom to be present without any fault codes becoming active. This article will guide the user through performing a hard reset of a door pod, which can restore the door pod to its operational condition, thereby avoiding the need for replacement. The steps in this article should be performed BEFORE diagnostics are completed for any active faults.
IK0800688
This document is to notify the field of an issue with BCM that causes various electrical system concerns after the vehicle sits for 2-3 days. This can affect all LT, RH, MV, HV models, 2021MY and up HX, 2024MY and up CE Bus with BCM kernel version 752, 753, and 754. Vehicles built or updated with DLB between 6/1/25 and 11/4/25 are suspected of having these kernels installed on the BCM. The most common complaint is that the steering wheel switches do not function, which, depending on the vehicle model and options, can cause the bus door, pupil warning lights, radio controls, marker interrupt, and cruise control to stop working. Other complaints can include short circuit faults from multiple sensor circuits attached to the BCM setting at the same time, the vehicle will not go into gear, the headlights are stuck on, the brake lights are stuck on, or the parking brake alarm is sounding (horn chirping) with the parking brake set. As of 11/4/25, these symptoms can be resolved by updating the BCM to kernel 755 or later with DLB.
IK0600001
Some interaxle shafts (the driveshaft connecting 2 drive axles) utilise special phasing. This is by design to reduce torsional vibrations. See Dana/Spicer letter here & Meritor here. Dana DS404 rear axle housing families use offset interaxle driveshaft phasing to reduce torsional vibrations. Depending on the interaxle driveshaft series, the phasing will be different. Vehicles built with 0417LTFXXXX drivelines until 03/23/2009 use 32 degree phasing, while vehicles built with 0417LTGXXXX drivelines from 3/12/2009 to current use 48 degree phasing. There is an overlap of 11 days where either shaft could have been used.

Per agreement with EPA and CARB, Cummins, Inc. provided an emergency calibration for Cummins ISB, B6.7, ISL9, L9, and X15 engines when a DEF Quality Sensor (DQS) was not available. This action addressed the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Quality Sensor failures in the field and the unavailability of parts due to the worldwide chip shortage. This recall is step two of this program designed to revert all affected vehicles back to the certified calibration and to provide them with the latest improved DQS and Coolant Control Valve (CCV) designs. Additionally, the emergency calibration and the restoration to the certified calibration with the latest improved DQS and Coolant Control Valve (CCV) designs have no effect on vehicle Emissions.
