2010 ISX spits when pulling a hill.

Man! That sucks but thanks Heavyd!
I talked to another Cummins tech today on the phone who said the first thing he would check is the EGR cooler.

It has been doing the regen more than usual the last few weeks and using coolant.
I had the DPF baked out about 3 months ago.

 

Thanks Heavyd,I will mention that to the shop.
One of our other trucks had one go out at 200k.

It also looks like the cap on the coolant tank has been leaking so i will grab one of those next week at a dealer.
I did find some drips on the coolant filter.I checked the hoses a tightened them up above the filter and that slowed it down.
Maybe a new filter,cap and let the shop look it over when i get time.

 

Well,it was break down week.....she went belly up in Georgia in the middle of a 2 lane country road.
Engine warn light then shut down light,no throttle response.What a night!
They sent Road Pros or something like that out and he plugged into it to find about 10 different codes.
2 EGR and EGR controller codes,3 turbo codes and a critical low fuel pressure code along with a list longer than i felt like writing down at 2 am after being awake for 30 some hours.
He cleared the codes,changed fuel filters.
The engine was running rough and coughing smoke from behind the turbo off and on.
I got to the big road and hammered 200 miles to the local shop while coughing and losing power off and on.
Engine warn light then went off....WTF!

Anyway it is in the shop and i hope they figure it out.
At least i got a rental car and got home....Looks like a few days off.

About time to talk to Paccar...looking at a new KW T660.
Or thinking of buying my own truck.

I miss my old W-900 and my old Classic XL...both never left me stranded over the years.
These new plastic throw away trucks! Geeze!

 

Man,That is the truth!
