Moving from 1996 to 2010

What engine? If it's an isx, I can help. If it's a cat ... Run!!

 

Good ... Start with rawze.com... How many miles and do you have any maint . Or warranty records from the vin number.

 

2008,09,10 are the worst years as far as I know...

 

Yea DEF helps things out a bit by requiring less EGR and the DPF doesn't need to work as hard either. I would look for a 2011+ with DEF.

 

They probably are.. The isx can be manageable with the knowledge of all the emissions components, how they work together, and all the warning signs to look for.

 

Do you have any experience doing the Rawzee work yourself? If so I have a couple of friends who can use your help..

 

I had an 09 isx... I did watch every video the man put out and learned how to do most of the work myself. The rest of it I took to a shop I trust and had them do the work.

 

If the motor is governed at 65 mph or lower, you're in for possible problems. At my previous job I ran an '08 Pete 388 with a c-15 Cat. I didn't have too many issues, unless pulling heavy and/or excessive city driving. Local CAT dealer told me they had most problems with trucks that were governed needing to repeatedly do parked regens. Apparently, especially with the governed trucks, the motors weren't able to get the RPMs up high enough for long enough periods of time to allow the motor to get hot enough to regen while running.

Not sure how/if it differs with the Cummins motors though.
