    Replace your crankcase filter. Located at the left front upper corner of the engine. It is inside the plastic box that has about 10 small bolts holding it together.

    Seconding the crank case filter. It's a regular service item on the ISX that often gets ignored until it starts throwing codes.
     
    LMB Thanks this.

    How often should this be done, and why is this not part of a regular PM

    Your local Cummins dealer can let you know the exact interval, but I know the interval is much longer than a PM interval.
     
    LMB Thanks this.

    Interval is 125,000 miles or one year as far as I can tell.

    I had to replace mine 4 times over 3 months last winter. First time the truck was 3 weeks old. Each time didn't last as long as the one before. After the last one, the code came back 8 miles down the road. Turned out the engine was defective. This was on a brand new Freightliner Coronado. The dealer told me that they would replace the engine under warranty, but the replacement engine would only have 1 year warranty. I gave back the truck and had to fight them to get my trade's value back.
     
    LMB Thanks this.

    Do just the newer ISX engines have this? I have a 2003 truck with the ISX, and I cannot find this filter.
