BorgWarner Replacement Turbos for MBE4000 Engines
BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems, Aftermarket Division, released the S410T replacement turbocharger for late-model Mercedes MBE4000 engines. BorgWarner said its replacement turbos have been manufactured or remanufactured under the same strict quality standards set forth by the company for their original equipment products, including TS14649.

The company said its S410T replacement turbocharger, which is covered by a one-year or 100,000-mile repair or replace warranty, will be available through the network of BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems North American service partners.

Flexible Form-A-Funnel Molds to Meet Needs
New Pig Corporation introduced the Form-A-Funnel, a flexible tool that bends, molds and holds its shape to fit applications where liquids, leaks or drips need to be drained, diverted or transferred.

The Form-A-Funnel is constructed of a moldable lead interior and fully coated with thick and pliable rubber, and is chemical resistant and safe to handle, according to the company.
New Pig said the funnel can be shaped to channel, catch and divert hard-to-drain liquids directly into a container, keeping drips off of equipment and floors, reducing the potential for slips and falls. It is easy to clean and will retain its shape until its next application, or can be flattened out or rolled up and stored in a tool box.

Detroit Diesel Launches Advanced Diagnostics Features
Detroit Diesel Corporation announced the launch of new advanced diagnostics features for its Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link (DDDL) available for heavy-duty engines and compatible with the company’s full line of engines.

The company said the DDDL’s enhanced features provide service technicians an interactive tool by not just reading diagnostic data, but interpreting it and automatically determining next steps. A sophisticated troubleshooting tree provides step-by-step diagnostics to help technicians quickly and easily address issues.

Additional features include encrypted videos and animation clips that further aid in diagnoses. On-screen graphics also serve as a teaching tool for technicians. Technicians can also use the DDDL to report back to Detroit Diesel’s support center, which helps Detroit Diesel engineers monitor and evaluate repairs being made, enhancing continuous engine and technology improvements, the company said.
