Any one deal with fleet vehicles, Diesel trucks / cube vans?

I know why they need to be plugged in, it's just apparently most members of the workforce give 0 fucks in that regard. I said it because I've heard OP complain about his staff previously, I imagine he would have similar issues.

Some days it feels like a revolving door of “I don’t give a shit”.
Lol

Heck I had an old crown Vic that wouldn’t start in the winter if the block heater wasn’t plugged in.

Do the newer diesels not run glow plugs anymore? They just rely on wing plugged in?

Some still run glow plugs, some run an intake heater, which is a thick grid that heats the air coming in the engine, the grids work very well, but the trucks should still be plugged in. High-compression engines, thick fuel, thick oil, low cranking rpm, gotta give them a fighting chance, it helps a lot.

Feeling supper happy about our decision right now.

Based on the interior height we need the Isuzu was the only option without getting into air breaks or dropping 100gs

Place in London has one with only 110000kms. Gently used

Dropped 20 grand down and financed the rest. Waited a week for them to have it ready. Drove an hour and a half to pick it up. Drove great all the way home until I backed it into the parking spot when the dash lit up with warning lights.

Drove it all the way back next day
Waited over a week for them to fix it, said it was a bad sensor. They called me yesterday and said it was all fixed up.

Drove all the way back down today got the key fired it up was letting it idle to warm up. After about 2 min of idle.
Check engine light came back on and it went into limp mode

Didn’t even get out of the parking lot

When back into the service department and he said well my Isuzu guy is not around till Monday so we will call you.

...........

Hope it’s not a sign of things to come.

Jeez man that sucks, hopefully they can get it sorted.

Stings just that much harder when you have trouble from pretty much mile one, hang in, they'll get it sorted.

Is it emissions related? Have you tried forcing a regen?

Is it emissions related? Have you tried forcing a regen?

Original codes were emmisons related, exhaust warning Def fault light and a check engine light.
Tried to force a regen but it said regen not required. They pulled the codes and said the level sensor for the def tank was faulty.
They replaced it and said every thing was good to go.

Started today fine. But ran for couple min then this time only throwing the check engine light. Followed 30 seconds later by the limp mode light.

Hopefully they just forgot to hook something up or something simple like that.
