Common Issues & Fixes

Hard Shifting or Transmission Jerks: Usually caused by worn shift solenoids or dirty sensors—recalibrate and replace solenoids if erratic.

Hydraulic Lift Delay or Drift: Worn lift cylinder seals or internal spool leakage—reseal cylinders and inspect control valve block.

Cab Monitor Fault Codes: Corroded or loose display harness connectors—inspect plug ends and reseat with dielectric grease.

Cooling System Overheat Warning: Check for debris in cooler pack and radiator fins—clean thoroughly and inspect fan belt tension.

Engine Surge at Idle: Typically related to faulty EGR valve or fuel pressure regulator—run diagnostic and replace faulty components.

Brake Fade or Noisy Stops: Wet brake system may have fluid contamination—flush and replace with manufacturer-specified fluid.
