First year has been Hell!

I have owned my 2014 cascadia for 3 years , I spent about 6k in repairs for emissions. My truck has had a Apu its entire life so I'm sure that plays a huge part . Truck will be paid off soon , I'm gonna ride it till the wheels fall of and than probably get a Glider . Yes these emission trucks make me nervous.

 

That is an exaggeration, I think. A few k per year on emissions seems a bit more reasonable. A few k for the engine as well, averaged over time.

 

This is not true at all. My previous truck I traded in with 650k on it and replaced 2 NOX sensor and dozer injector... No where near the $ your talking. Truck did have APU as does my new truck.

 

I am hoping after this rebuild it would be around that amount. Good news is I have 3 year warranty now so that will help. Have almost 4500 miles on it now and running smooth....

 

I think some have issues and others don't. Luck of the draw. I just rebuilt mine at 630K and had put in 22K with a APU as well. If I owned it from new I think it would had lasted a lot longer with out the issues. Hard to tell how the people drove it and took care of it before me. Other then maintenance records and word of mouth.

 

How often do you change oil?

 

15K normally 20K worst case

 

Member cody86 just posted that DD15 fuel pump failure was fixed and radiator was replaced at dealer. invoice was $22k.
Now if you have DD15 any moment a. fuel pump can go bad, b. 1-box can be toasted, c. plastic oil suction manifold can destroy whole engine, d. engine can run backward, e. injector can go bad and plug the DOC face,.... now go and fix these at dealer....
Some guys are complaining that Cummins ISX15 burns engine oil.... let it burn... never heard about Cummins DOC face plugin issues or about toasted SCR...

 

Isn't that the Truth.. (No offense to my mechanic friends on here)

The ol' saying goes.....You want it done right,You do it yourself, Holds true with just about anything in life

 

I think your a bit out of line here.

The Nicest,Cleanest,And Tightest Trucks are From Owners (Drivers) With their own Tools and Shop...

They Take A Lot More Pride in their work than an outside mechanic these days
