HOW to HIT Cummins with a class-action suit RE: engine aftertreatment system - INFO

well 2013 isx15 are liitle different compared to 2010 isx15. I heard that it has less breakdown than 2010 isx. According what i heard from other drivers, 2013 isx get better mpg than 2010 because it takes more def than 2010. Back then, it was just an engine and a muffler. Now the egr, engine, dpf, def, and scr. I would buy a glider than a new emission crap truck. And stay out of cali. I'm happy to have the mbn than twin turbo.

 

SCR DEF system are failing in Volvo too. I saw even 2105 trucks sitting at dealer shop for SCR component failure.

Not going for volvos for sure. Im going for gliders.

 

Must be the luck of the draw been driving a 2010 isx15 for 4 years and have had very few problems(egr cooler replaced,one egr valve and did two regens)and it pulls like no other motor on the market.

 

Three of the trucks I look after here have ISXs, and each has their own issues. All were severely neglected before I got here, one runs pretty decent in an 11 T800, just the truck itself has been beaten on pretty bad. One driver thought you needed to mash it to the floor and launch to take off, broke the motor mount bolts on both sides, real fun to replace on a 115* day. Another is in a heavy haul Pete 367, it got a new turbo that I think wasn't calibrated right as it doesn't whistle like the other two. The third is the problem child, a Pete 388. Beaten also, severely neglected, and another victim of the leadfoot driver. He flogged it so hard the EGR cooler failed, it's had non-stop DPF issues before and after. The doser works, it just keeps having failed regens despite having the DPF replaced earlier this year.
Not all the fault is on Cummins, though. A lot of dealership techs are way too quick to condemn the expensive parts, instead of taking diagnostic time and finding the root cause. Most DPF issues can be traced to the sensors and doser, but those are so rarely actually fixed, they just keep dragging the company or o/o through the shop, spending their money, until every bit has been replaced. Since they start with the expensive stuff, usually that gets ruined (and warranty voided) by other failed parts, so it's a cycle that just keeps repeating.
Now the Cat with the DEF, that has some issues.

 

####, sorry to hear that. Better get the fungus sensor checked out.

 

That sounds like another lawsuit- The engines are so reliable you sit in sweaty boots all day and get fungus. Maybe this is what the EPA was trying to prevent with these absurd aftertreatment systems?
