BD69: The Owner Operator Chronicles

I agree ! And hate to say it but I've quit having the company shop do some of my work for a few reasons ...one of which includes sloppy lube work

 

So i take it the new carrier honeymoon is over? Sure is looking like they pawned a neglected truck off onto you.

 

I wouldn’t necessarily say that. Those ISX’s weren’t known for being trouble free engines unfortunately.

 

Arnt you a ray of light !!
Its machine and they give ya problems ..chance ya take .

 

You should try cutting to the chase and tell us what you really think next time. Lol.

 

Cummins has had a real host of problems on the SCR engines. Seems that 2010 to 2015 was a big learning curve. From what I can tell. In 2016 they turned the corner and started getting things right, or it so seems. These newer units have been a lot less problematic.

 

I would not put it as neglected just yet. Service records would be the thing to check. Then you can never tell for sure. This is the chance you take when buying a truck. Mechanical things wear.

Have to admit It would be nice to see them. From some of the things that have been worked on, you gotta ask some questions. Oil making its way to the ECM takes a bit of time, and it would have some things happening along the way.

 

Anybody got any idea where that oil came from?

 

From the injector harness.
