Trucker Buck here with some vital info for you O/Os and drivers having a plethora of problems with your Cummins ISX engines. First let me tell you a little background of my story. I bought a 2012 Kenworth T-660 in April of 2013 and came back to the same company I was leased onto before my 2 year break. I drive 48 plus half of Canada. In the first 10 months with this truck, it nearly broke my heart (and my wallet). In the shop 8 times (2 roadside breakdowns, Montana and Manitoba) with repairs totaling over $8,000, not to mention $20,000+ lost revenue. I first went to KW for the issue then switched and went directly to a Cummins shop. Total system cleaning (DOC and DPF) four times with the last time having the DPF replaced. Turbo speed sensor replaced, Intake sensor replaced, NOX sensor replaced, Diesel Particulate Trap Pressure sensor replaced, doser replaced. On and on for ten months, sometimes not driving more than a few hundred miles. Now DPF light is on again and I will be in the shop within days.

Bottom line: all engines mfrs could have stood up to EPA when they were legislating this BS, but they didn't. I guess they thought it would end up being a "boon" for them. Manufacturing new parts for new trucks and of course they'd be in on the parts and service money grab. But, it's all blowing up in their faces. CAT is getting sued by at least 7 different parties and they're running scared, so scared that they petitioned federal court to get the lawsuits consolidated. The law firm I'm going to introduce you to in a minute already has a class-action going against CAT and they are asking for input from Cummins users.

I got one for you. I just got back into carhauling a year this month. I bought a 2014 peterbilt with a Cummins isx15. Long story short starting in june 2016 at 147,000 miles I've had basically an inframe due to two liners that dropped because of broken shims and when they pulled the head found that the liners were polished..(liner polishing). Gone through two def or i guess ammonia dosers, a nox sensor and a turbo actuator all in 5 months. Shop noted none of this was driver error. Cummins did choke up 7600.00 on the rebuild but what about down time. Ive been on the road and an own/op fir 13 years. Is there any recourse...

This is why I'm a company driver. Something breaks? Toss the keys to the shop man and grab another unit. Funny thing is, my trucks stay in pretty good shape, (once I break them in and clean them up) the problem is other drivers don't seem to take care of their equipment.

Also, boss man leases his units from the big 2 (Penske & Ryder) with full service contracts. I can get serviced in just about any city, & nothing we have is more than 8 years old.
