j hancock Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Welcome! 6-4 is a frequency issue with J1939 link. Others will have to explain what it is.

Philmack460 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Thanks guys, I managaed to find out it is communication between the truck computer and engine computer, but I was hoping someone might have had first hand experience with this problem and managaed to cure it, looking for hints. I really like the truck and enjoy getting into driving a big rig but just a little frustrated. Gonna start trying a few things and see what happens.

Wobblin-Goblin Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Please remember to post a picture of your truck. Rule 37-2 of the BMT code requires all threads of vehicles to have at least one picture of said rig or your account could be terminated with great haste.Thank you.

Philmack460 Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Just a little update if anyone is interested, Pulled a couple of loads of hay in the last week, as i said before, my truck derating me, i think it is linked to oil temp. I found when oil hit 195℉ it derates engine, the wires from engine computer runs on engine behind oil filters, it seems it is cooking wires and affecting communication between computers. So pulled wires away freengine and helped, Will keep you posted.
