Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link (Standard) fucked functionality.
  • Well, there most certainly Was a cracked version as of year before last.. Guy I kinda knew was doing aftertreatment deletes on the DD Platform engines, OneBox. You'd hear from him on the phone, get a laptop in the mail with all the software needed to get the job done, and that included the DDDL Professional.. CAT, Cummins Insite, JPRO and other shit on there. Even the operating system was cracked on the thing, I got to see one of the laptops. Everything was done remotely. Or so I've heard.. Fucker's probably still gone, he was pulling time last I heard.. Last time I was in a big pickle I did hit The Pirate Bay and a couple other torrent sites, but nothing found for DDDL, nothing I'd consider safe enough to fuck with, anyways. But, I'm beyond the limits of Standard already, so we're trying to cut a deal on the Professional. In the end dollars are the only way to fix trucks these days. If ever a motherfucker runs for office with the intent of ending this fucking nightmare, I'm hitting the fuckin booth. And I'm a damn apolitical fuckin combat vet. My Dad and some of his farming buddies fought with vigor against those John Deere motherfuckers, so it was nice to see they made a tiny chip in the green armor. But, this shit truly needs to change. Very soon only the massive corporations will have access to the tools necessary to do a mechanic's job. And that's fucking shameful to know that I'm pretty fucking castrated at the job I've spent my whole life learning and doing. Filthy motherfuckers.

  • Right, Detroit injectors have a trim code as well these days. They'll usually fire without it, but economy is shit. Friend of mind had a situation where a Volvo went into no start due to missing trim codes on an injectors and cups job. What a fuckin mess things are in. It's been heading this way for a long time. I remember seeing some Liebherr units in the coalfields but never got the opportunity to wrench on any, hate to hear they're taking the same road. As a non affiliated mechanic, my days may be numbered just like those old coalfields. Sad shit.

    Looking like we're going to be forced into buying Professional version software from Detroit. I just don't see any other way.

  • That's pretty much what I thought.. Company owner is in negotiations with our Freightliner guy at the moment looking at paying the even bigger bucks to you with the Pro version. What chaps my fuckin balls about it, though, is that up until recently Standard did all I needed it to do. It just fuckin pisses me off.

    Anyone else using the standard edition of DDDL having recent issues with the loss of Parameter access and other key features on Detroit / Freightliners?

    First issue I ran into a while back was with replacing an ACM on one of our trucks. The ability to have the ACM programmed at FL, shipped to me and then resetting the Ash Accumulator at our shop was removed from the Standard DDDL software. After nearly a week of dealing with that shit, Detroit finally temporarily upgraded our software to the Professional version and still, the option to 'Replace ACM' is no longer available in the Standard edition.

    Fast forward to now, I have a truck that I need to install fog lamps in. So, I need to turn on its Parameter options in the SAMCAB module. All of the parameters in the SAMCAB, SAMCHASSIS, MSF and ICU are no longer available in the Standard Edition software. This literally guts my ability to do many of my required duties at my job as a heavy truck mechanic. These were all modifiable parameters in Standard Edition in the fairly recent past. This really puts me at an unacceptable disadvantage for the work that I do. I'm turning a very significant amount of my outside labor time on work that requires me to have access to Parameters and Options. It's also killing the work I am able perform on our personal fleet trucks as well.

    Are any of you mechanics facing this dilemma, as well? Or have any information that may be helpful in my situation? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    If this is posted in the wrong place, any idea where I might better post it? I haven't found any heavy truck threads on Lemmy, yet.

    Why do people wear shoes inside the house?
  • Because I have a "thing" about having those little floor-crunchies on my feet. Floating flooring is nice, but every little thing lays right on top of it.. So instead of constantly dusting the bottoms of my feet off on my calves, I just throw on some house shoes. Freshly cleaned floors excepted.

  • What's your favorite song?
  • Hahaaaa!! Fuck, I didn't catch that shit!! Too fuckin funny to edit.. Touche, s0x..

    I've never typed Panera... Yet my dictionary has that shit over Pantera... This world has gone to shit... Fuck em all.

  • What's your favorite song?
  • Gotta be Moonlight Sonata...

    Maybe the Live 101 Proof version of Panera's "War Nerve"

    Or Freebird, maybe?

    Stubborn Love or Angela, by the Lumineers?

    Fuck.. Depends on the day, but I'll always go back to Moonlight..

  • MLB commisioner Rob Manfred has announced that he will retire in 2029. How do you think he has done so far? And what can he do the next five years to further the game of baseball?
  • I agree with that. It just seems so far out or place in baseball the way it is. Sad thing is, there was probably a whole damn committee of executives planning that change.. and probably not a damn single one of em fans of baseball.. Sad, really.. I totally plucked that outta my ass, though. I have no real knowledge of how that decision was really made. But it seems fitting for the way shit's gone the last few years..

  • I'm good with that, as an Orioles fan with Mateo and Mullins on the team... I guess I'm the old bastard on this one, really. I was okay with long games. Last O's game I attended went 13 innings and I got to see damn near the whole team play. I absolutely loved it and wished it went to 33 innings.. I get it, but I love watching live baseball. I hate the ghost runner so much. It reminds me of playing in the yard with just my sister when we were kids.. Doesn't belong in MLB, though. At least in my opinion. I like the choice of an optional intentional, though.. That's not a bad idea, really..
