Isuzu
www.isuzucv.comIsuzu Commercial Truck of America announced the B10 durability rating of its 4HK1-TC diesel engine has been increased to 375,000 miles.
A “B10-life” rating is an industry-standard gauge provided by engine makers to help business owners determine the long-term durability of an engine. The number following the “B” indicates the percentage of an engine’s population that will require an overhaul before the indicated mileage. That means that 90 percent of Isuzu 4HK1-TC engines are expected to last 375,000 miles before they require a major repair or rebuild, the company says.
Previously, the 4HK1-TC engine carried an already-robust B10 durability rating of 310,000 miles. “We are proud to say that Isuzu diesel engines are already known worldwide for their long-term dependability,” said Shaun Skinner, president of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America. “Our new B10 rating is strong evidence that our engines are even more durable than ever.”
The turbocharged, intercooled 4HK1-TC four-cylinder diesel engine displaces 5.2 liters and generates 215 horsepower. Torque ratings vary depending on model.
The engine is fitted to Isuzu NPR-HD, NPR-XD, NQR and NRR models, as well as the all-new 2018 Isuzu FTR Class 6 truck. Each of these models is backed by a three-year/unlimited mileage powertrain limited warranty.

Inspection Implements
www.inspectionimplements.comInspection Implements, a new company that makes pest control tools, announced it is now shipping its first product — The Prober. Termite inspectors, whole house inspectors, home appraisers and house painters know that fungus and termites damage wood. Sometimes this damage is obvious, but often it is hidden just under the surface of the paint, between two wood members or where wood members come in contact. The Prober was specifically designed to find this damage. With its blunt tip, it won’t cause cosmetic damage to sound wood, the company said, and it will only go through damaged wood. And when attached to an extension pole, it can be used to inspect second-story trim and roof eaves without a ladder.
Xcluder
www.getxcluder.comXcluder is now offering a lifetime guarantee on its Rodent-Proof Commercial Door Sweeps. The sweeps, designed to protect the small gap underneath an exterior door, feature reinforced rubber gaskets lined with Xcluder fill fabric. Xcluder’s sharp, coarse fibers cannot be gnawed through by rodents, and its combination of stainless steel and poly-fiber should not rust or degrade over time, the company said.
Xcluder’s abrasive fill fabric prevents rodents and insects from entering a building without the use of chemicals, according the manufacturer. The reinforced rubber gasket keeps drafts and water out, while preventing light, heat and odors from inviting pests in. To remove the need for product trial, the company will now provide a free replacement door sweep in the event any rodent gains entry through an Xcluder Rodent-Proof Commercial Door Sweep.
“We know most of our customers have faced rodent pressure, and we want to reassure them that Xcluder provides a permanent solution that truly works,” said Drew McFadden, director of marketing for Xcluder. “Rodents simply cannot penetrate our door sweeps, and we’re proud to stand behind that guarantee.”
Xcluder Pest Control Commercial Door Sweeps are easy to install, the company said, and they fit most common door sizes and types. The sweeps feature a sturdy aluminum retainer and stainless steel mounting hardware. Xcluder Door Sweeps are available in 36-inch, 48-inch and 96-inch lengths and are suitable for under door gaps up to ¾ inch.
