International Truck Engines Require Powerful Diagnostic Tools
Modern International truck engines need a tool to interface with the software and read diagnostics to properly repair and maintain the engine. It's virtually impossible to guess and change parts successfully unless you trip over a bad wire or connection. That's the one big difference when you compare today's electronic diesel engines to older models that ran their injection systems mechanically. I can remember cracking fuel lines to check for an engine miss.
Can you imagine that....allowing raw diesel fuel to run down the engine block onto the ground or shop floor? Your looking at a huge fine if it got out to the right environmental department.
I get a lot of questions on the DT466E with no power and performance problems. I can't troubleshoot very well through email and offer general advice like checking the source first and the fuel supply system.
After that... the fuel and high pressure oil system running the injection system needs to be tested. The only way to go is to have the proper software that will help you read codes and troubleshoot the right way. Shooting in the dark isn't going to work and you'll need deep pockets.
International Truck Engines Diagnostic Software
Service Maxx
Analyzes all MaxxForce & International Truck Engines by displaying operating data with active and inactive trouble codes (DTC) . Performing diagnostic tests with the engine on or off is invaluable with the ability to capture engine snapshots while the fault is occurring.
While displaying essential data you can save multiple files to keep up to date records. Remembering what I said earlier about checking for an engine miss...now with International engine truck engine software you have the ability to perform injector disable and cutout tests.

Truly said! Truck engine require proper, high performance and tested diagnostic tools which shows proper and accurate results. Everyone should opt this for their engines.
Thank you for posting this. This is definitely what my truck's engine needs. These truck diagnostic tools seem like a better quality and the best way to go about checking your engine. I'm not much of a mechanic myself but I have a neighbor who is. What should I tell him to get?
