Any experts out there that are familiar with this engine and any emissions issues including EGR failures and/or turbo failures?
over all good engines, if you can do a DPF delete. EGR valves are some what of an issue, most of the time the plunger gets stuck. as far as turbo failures, i have seen a few, most are the sector gear for the VGT portion seizes up, i have yet to see a turbo explode on one of these engines.
Final verdict on the truck in question.
Replacement of the Delta Pressure Sensor (whatever that is and does), replacement of all 6 fuel injectors (3 were supposedly failing), replacement of the EGR valve, and cleaning of the EGR cooler, DPF filter cleaning. With the two tow bills, totalled over $6K. Not a penny covered under the two year engine warranty. Cummins SUCKS! I want my Caterpillars back.
wow, the HD trucks must get a pretty good discount!! i would have banged you for over 12k just for the injectors! the delta pressure sensor measures pressure before and after the dpf to estimate soot/ash level. we dont clean coolers or dpfs so you would have been buying those for over 3k. so i would say you got a pretty good deal.
