WHich one do you need help on?

2025 Ford F750

This truck - as a commercial truck - is projected to deliver 10 - 14 mpg based on pay load and operation and idle time.

This is the gas engine chassis cab with an engine driven refrigeration unit

The trucks are built for 78 mph in the states Are you in the states? Thanks!

Glad it was a help! Let me know when you or your company start looking for your next truck - I would appreciate your business!

Im in Australia just been trying to figure out how to set the clock for a few weeks now. Cheers from Australia.

@@tighematthew If I ever make it to Australia - I'll give you a shout! Thank you for leeting me know!

Glad there was an interest! If I can help on your next truck - let me know 423-618-3323. BTW I'm sure we get a great deal on the pricing point!!. Better yet, the upgrade is an Alpine with back up camera!!!

@@MichaelOlden nice upgrade. Unfortunately, I'm not in the market just yet for a dovetail truck. It is a sweet rig though. That being said, I use dump trucks to move our equipment around. It's needed for the debris we remove from full maintenance accounts

@@Hillsidelanscapemanagement You may want to look at the debris dump landscape videos, or the pull ouut ramp on dump body video for consideration. Thank you for the interest - See you on your next truck!!!

@@MichaelOlden will do. Thanks

South Eastern United States with clients in all corners 48 of the continent. Where do you need one?

@MichaelOlden thank you Michael, I am from Orlando, Fl. I hope before this year end I will contact you to purchase a new isuzu truck. Ty

@@juanmontenegro2025 Excellent!! Juan if you could, shoot me an email with the company and contact information - or text me your contact information 423-618-3323 . email is molden@lee-smith.com

Glad to Help!!

Let me update my people for you

I understand that!

This is the Ford Diesel Engine on this truck.

Absolutely, This is a great truck for catering!

This truck features the Isuzu turbo Diesel engine with a 375,000 B-10 rating. Excellent long service truck!

The tires on this truck are 22.5 tires

Thank you for sharing, I hope to work with you on your next tractor purchase!

Eric, Give me a call 423-618-3323. I have one chassis on ground and another coming soon. We can get this together in weeks! It would be a new chassis and new body!

Fuel water separators and sedimentary filers are for diesel trucks. Gas engine have a filter in the tank - these are not serviced that often as gasoline has less opportunity for debris.

The ELF is not sold in the US - that I am aware of. What country do you operate in?

@@MichaelOlden New Zealand trucks a Japanese import

please forward a picture of the gauge reading - sorry for the delay in responding. I have been out of touch these last 11 days. As a rule, the manual regeneration check system would fault if there was an issue. I look forward to your picture molden@lee-smith.com

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks!

Were you able to get to the connection?

@@MichaelOlden Nope I had to use FM Bluetooth transmitter lol

This is a Diesel

19.5 inch tires

I was not able to confirm whether there is a height adjustment. As I was told, the air bags are designed to operate ate capacity on the road. If your need is to adjust the height while in operation - no. It is also why the do not suggest a variable height. Operating the bags on the road outside of their design could prematurely wear the bags.

Diesel Engine in this build

Cummins Engine

Most reefer units are plumbed to the fuel tank of the truck. Rarely is there a pony tank if your refrigeration unit is stand alone (not driver by the trucks engine).

@@MichaelOlden thanks for your response

Thank you for the compliment!

Nothing will happen if you turn the truck off while it performs the regeneration. The system will self check again once restarted. I would recommend selecting the manual regeneration button at the end of each business day. This way while you are doing your post DOT walk around the truck can complete the regeneration.

Thank you!

Yes the powertrain is the results of five years and a billion dollar investment from Traton. The Volkswagen AG holdings of M A N, Scania, VW Truck and Bus, and Navistar. It first came to Market in the Scania as the Super 13 and the Opticruise is referenced as the T14 transmission in the U.S. The is roughly 90% of the components in the U.S. as we are 12 volt and do not utilize the transmission retarder. We are seeing incredible fuel efficiency, MPG, and true appreciated of and engine without required active regenerations due to the removal of the EGR and use of SCR technology to treat engine NOX. Thanks for the Comment!!!

You are welcome!!

You are welcome - thanks for the view!!

I presume by now the problem is resolved. Was it the manual switch or a failed door sensor switch?

I appreciate the comment - though I may have missed your intended question. If there is still a question, please restate the question a different way. As a comment - I agree it is terrible when lights are poorly timed to keep traffic flowing.

Pretty sure you have resolved this question. Sorry about the delay to respond. If you are still in need, please call me 423-618-3323 of repost.

Well - great question. The answer is a turbo engine works well at the elevation referenced. I would suggest a review of the load. There is a 400 hp with 1850 lb ft torque that would be my fleet spec. As an owner operator, you are more likely to go to the highest HP with the 1850 torque.

The pricing point varies based on the total option content. There are many different configuration and selections which will affect your pricing. shoot me your email so that I can provide the basic fleet spec. But it would be best to work together to create a tractor the REALLY is your own. My email is molden@lee-smith.com

A very well written and in depth search for a truck engine that can make it happen. This engine is going into the HX Severe Service Model for Navistar International. One of the significant reasons for the is that the transmission has the same effective low as an 18 speed Lo Lo transmission. Speaking to the environment use, the US is one of the few parts of the world that has a tremendous warranty responsibility pushed to the factories. And there are ways that an engine can be move from warrantable to non warrantable. The issue being the servicing records, the improper use evaluation between sales and the client (i.e. 120000 GCWR use where the representative focused on 80000 GCWR), and I am sure there is more following use verse abuse. I appreciate the 'driven like its stolen' real world use reference. Which is why the electronic clutching will keep pace with the demands of the foot as the engine and transmission are clean sheet technologies BUILT to hyper communication and make use of the recognized axle load, predictive cruise, and selected performance mode to minimize aggressive foot throttling. The quality of the field use also in off road applications is set to 'rock out of a hole' when a hole is 'discovered' in use. Are all things bullet proof - well they have been severely tested and are in use today. The mileage is not yet a 200,000 - but we are getting closer to that mar each day. I will gladly forward your thoughts to my point of contacts within sales engineering and testing to allow their feedback as well. This is not a design created solely by Navistar. With your knowledge I am assured you are familiar with Scania and M A N. Also a part of the Traton family name and instrumental in this creation. As was the final sister company Volkswagen Commercial and Bus. This powertrain is a world wide component with 90% match of it assembly.

@MichaelOlden I'm currently driving a 2018 Volvo VHD quint dumptruck. It has the 12 speed automatic transmission. The truck is set up with a pointless hook for towing. The spots I see low performance from this machine is: When the tires start sinking, the transmission has to be manually put in first gear. In Auto mode, the transmission goes to 3rd gear by default. There's also a delay in engagement from park to forward, and forward to reverse. This slight delay, combined with the requirement of manually putting the transmission in manual adds up painstaking seconds when you're being pushed or pulled from a stuck situation. The result is the transmission gets confused with the sudden electronic demands. That's the best way I can describe it. It locks up and will kill the engine at the slightest touch of throttle. This "stubborn streak" from the transmission that happens, is followed by the boss getting upset. They have to get another piece of equipment to pull the truck out. It won't help itself out. Once the truck is out, it sits for another minute, and everything engages and shifts as it should. It's a tough transmission. The truck has just over 150,000 miles. It pulls a tag trailer with a D6K LGP without problem. It's the off road use that needs the focus. It's not uncommon to do quick direction changes, just to keep the truck moving in certain terrain. Have the engineers set up a quint dump truck with this engine transmission combo in your video. I'd be really interested in shoving better results under the Boss's nose to look at. A good truck can make more money. Bottom line.

Not on ground - still catching up with the past demand for this build.

Thank you for the Well Done!! glad it solved your inconvenience and any frustration!

Okay, let's start from the beginning. Take the filters back off Check the threading, re-tighten if all is well. Just to be sure - make sure there are not any missing gaskets. The new filter should have improved flow not deterred it. I hope this helps! let me know!

Sorry to break your heart!

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

The base warranty is actually a standard warranty for the truck. The accolades of this engine are reverberating in our sister company Scania - the Super 13 is wining awards for MPG and power in other countries. The main difference is that we use the 12V vs 24V system, and other market use a transmission brake verse the engine brake. All good and all awesome. The removal to the EGR and Variable geometry turbo, the planetary transmission with electronic clutch (vs pneumatic that comes with air build up time and warnings), and for those who need it - the PTO will come from the factory to instead of a 1 year warrant. Your get at least two and it is part of ANY transmission warranty. WOW! BTW did I mention that the SCR technology only uses 10% more DEF - we use a dual dose SCR focused system and allow the engine to be an engine. IE. produce power verse choking a bit on its own waste.

@MichaelOlden While we all know Navistar was incapable of building an engine without help from other companies, I hope this engine does well for the drivers and owner operators that may drive or own it. I love that they’ve gotten rid of the EGR, DOC, and the increased DEF is a non issue. I have had trucks with electronic clutches and pneumatic clutches, and I prefer the pneumatic clutches due to their reliability, clutch engagement power, lower maintenance, and the fact that they’re easier to maneuver while backing up. I’ve never had a pneumatic clutch “run out of air” like International claims while backing up, so that point is completely irrelevant. It will be interesting to see how this powertrain does in the real world because we all know the testing isn’t done with the same factors drivers face on a daily basis.
