Cummins ISX CM871 Technical discussion

Okay, it's been a while, but had to get some photos sent in from the road. Nope, not backwards lines. Supply to bypass is coming from a connection on the spin on oil filter housing. There are two cast ports there, and we are in the right most of those two. The bypass return was plumbed into a port on the block right above the oil pan - about 3 inches right of the spin on filter and about 1" above the oil pan flange surface. I assume this is a spare/alternate dipstick location if you put the ISX into a different truck. So, from a connection perspective, it "looks" right, but I have no idea if those locations points are problematic or not (don't know what oil passages they connect to). Is the port on the filter casting really a pressurized port, is it stealing too much oil from the spin on, and is the return truly just a through block passage that will dump oil back into the pan. Looks like a trip to Cummins is the answer. I assume that by pass filters are used all the time in one form or another with the ISX.

 

i have volvo 2009 cumm.isx cm871, but there is no "regen" button in a cab. if i,ll need perform "forsed regen", how can i do that? thanks in advanse

 

If there is no switch for it in the cab the only way to do it is to hook it up to a computer with cummins insite

 

It can be accessed through the info display too. It has to be turned on in the volvo info display.

 

duramaxxed thank you. i guess i have this option in my info display. bjytech thank you too
