If it's at 15 change it man yes you wouldn't want to do to the filter change on the roadside it's. When I bought my truck my paper fuel filter lasted 25k miles after that one second I changed it at 33k Mike's cause of the service bit was going to need it and third at 49k with service cause it was clogging again so I did the hole service probably the tanks are dirty getting cleaned out or just bad fuelKB3MMX and Hegemeister Thank this. -
Why so low? if I run at 70mph I'm getting 6 to 6.3.KB3MMX Thanks this. -

I don't understand why you guys are seeing filters getting dirty so fast. I never seen over 6-7hg of restriction on my 388 with the x15.
KB3MMX Thanks this. -

Where do you buy fuel? I only run in the northwest and mainly fuel at love's but sometimes pilot/flying J. I also over service the truck and change oil and all filters once a month. Which is anywhere between 250-500 hours or 9-15,000 miles. No APU and I run a PTO/Blower for unloading/loading pneumatic tankers so it gets lots of idle time.

Alright men, we're back on the road. Guess what, it was the GAWDD- - -ED FUEL FILTERS. The same thing I suggested to the shop on Thursday. Unfortunately Cummins has a large troubleshooting tree that has to be followed and then it required a software update to get it out of DeRate. Im not overly excited about the $400.00 bill either but I am happy that it was not some hard part like pumps or injectors. I wish Cummins would loosen up some of the parameters and let the engines run. This cost me ALOT in lost time. Common story I know, he should have unloaded this morning but now we're just getting started. Done venting for the day. Good luck out there everyone.
KB3MMX Thanks this.
