THE FRONT AXLE BEARINGS FAILED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE IN TRANSIT. THESE INCIDENTS BOTH TOOK PLACE WITHIN AN 8 MONTH PERIOD OF EACH OTHER. BOTH MECHANICS STATED THAT THE FRONT WHEEL WAS INADEQUATELY LUBRICATED AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSED THE WHEEL TO SEIZE UP AND BREAK OFF AT THE SPINDLE. THIS FLAW WAS LIKELY DEVELOPED DURING ASSEMBLY WHICH IS WHY THIS ISSUE IS SO COMMON. THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE BEARING TO SEIZIE WHICH LEADS TO WHEEL SEPARATION. IN MY CASE BOTH OF THE FRONT WHEELS WERE SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE AUTHORIZED MECHANIC THAT I USED EXPLAIND THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS THIS TYPE OF ISSUES ALL THE TIME, "THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE".

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.

Engine replacements for all International engines will need to follow this procedure.

This document will guide the user through a step-by-step procedure for detecting water leaks in vehicle cabs and windshields using an ultrasonic sound detector.

This document will guide the user through understanding Prop Shaft Codes and understanding the variations of prop codes. (Metric Prop codes start with the number a 4 and Non metric Prop codes start with a 2.)

In some geographic areas, ambient temperatures reaching below 15°F (-10 °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 all the currently available winter front covers that can be installed on the front grille and bumper to reduce cold air flow to the engine compartment.
