Video Description

It starts off innocent enough — just a 9570R setting an ECM 3216.04 Intake NOx Sensor Fault and a 157.18 Low Fuel Pressure Code. I fix those issues and think the day’s turning around… but it’s not. This video takes you through one of the craziest chains of breakdowns I’ve had in a while: The 9570R gets new filters and a NOx sensor to clear its codes. My new shop project, a 9510R, comes in with both the EGR cooler and oil cooler failed — coolant and soot contamination everywhere. Rain sends me indoors to rebuild and flush that cooling system. A 9620RX throws a 3362.31 DEF Dosing Unit Prime Failure — turns out leaking DEF lines are the culprit. A 9560R gets a new FDH Controller and harness. Then I wrap up with the teased S670 combine that’s popping through the intake… and when I say “she’s about to blow,” I mean it literally! The video opens with a Home Alone 2-inspired intro that sets the tone — you’re gonna want to watch this one from start to finish. 00:00 – S670 teaser (It's not good!) 00:35 – 9570R NOx sensor fault 06:42 – 9510R EGR cooler & oil cooler diagnosis 10:43 – 9510R oil cooler repair 13:46 – 9510R flushing cooling system 17:07 – 9620RX ECM 3362.31 DEF dosing unit failed to prime diagnosis 20:43 – 9560R front drive shaft health controller fault diagnosis and repair 24:31 – Back to the 9620RX to replace DEF lines! 25:15 – New Matco magnetic light! 26:32 – New Matco pocket trim stick/knife! 27:45 – 9620RX DEF leakage test 28:21 – 9620RX aftertreatment SCR performance test 28:40 – John Deere MT11 Ripper leak & 9RX 640 A/C does not blow cold 32:05 – S670 diagnose ECU 105.00 – SHE’S ABOUT TO BLOW CAPTAIN! 35:49 – SHE’S ABOUT TO BLOW!
