Worked for Cummins for 6 years. Trust me, if you live in a state that doesn’t do inspections each year. Full Delete and EGR block ASAP, and use your glow plugs regardless of what the temperature is outside when starting. When getting fuel try and buy from stations that semi trucks use. The quality of the fuel is far superior than run of the mill gas station fuel. If you happen to have one with a CP4 pump swap it for a CP3 when you can. The CP4 was designed for European Emission Regulations and much more sensitive to the fuel we use stateside. Any other questions shot me a reply

Most daily drives are less than 15-20 miles but once a week & go for a long drive (30-40 mi) & watch the DPF screen to make sure it’s going through a regen. Then at least twice a month I take it out on the interstate & let it go 75-85 mph, which is where it seems to love to run. Several times per year I’ll drive it on long trips (8-12 hours straight). Very comfortable & the engine performs very well. Plan to start towing w it soon. Great vehicle w a great engine. Thanks again. Several helpful hints, like idling down.

just 2 corrections: Idling down you truck isnt so much about allowing the turbo to slow down, its about allowing your EGT's to cool down since the turbine housing is very hot, it causes the oil on the bearing to burn off and basically create creosote and making it sticky. And the other one is that sulfur in diesel is not a lubricant, not even a little, however the process of removing the sulfur creating ultra-low sulfur diesel r\also removes certain mercaptans in the fuel that are lubricants.

I have a 2019 and am new to the diesel world... If you have a block heater and can plug it in, use it! It will cut down on your warm up time significantly. Also, beware... When you remote start these trucks and it's cold out they will run a warm up cycle where the engine idles up and the VGT closes to expedite warm up time. At 170°F the VGT is backed off and the truck will remain at high idle until engine temp hits 170°F OR the remote start Timer runs out. At that point the engine just shuts down from 1100-1200 RPM not idle..... Not good for the turbo as mentioned.

#1 DPF/EGR Clogging = Delete. Deletes cost way less than a new emissions system. #2 yes turbo actuators stick due to soot build up and due to non use of exhaust brake. Older 6.7 fords had turbo failures as well. In all respect if you are working the truck. A turbo and manifold isn’t the end of the world and actually better for the truck if upgraded. Maybe to a non vgt if possible. #3 Head gasket failures are more common with more power (being deleted) with no head studs. Not normally a stock issue. #4 is a pretty uncommon issue. The newer trucks emissions systems are decent to say the least. Definitely pre 2013 was more problematic #5 once the egr cooler had totally failed if not under warranty. Deleting the truck is the best and most cost effective option. Not to mention there is a difference in commercial 6.7 Cummins engines and the ones in pickup trucks. #5 as stated below cp4’s are on 2019-2020 trucks and Cummins has switched back to the cp3 for 2021-current. Grab a cp4 disaster kit if you have a cp4 and are worried. As for commercial use and not being able to delete. The cost is what it is for repairs. But for the average day consumer. We are going to have to live with the emissions systems because deletes are becoming hard to do unless you know a guy. ;) Inline 6 mafia 🚜

2008 owner. I bought it with 200,000 miles and the PO sold it with a blown head gasket. It's my understanding the head studs can handle the stock power level without failing, but when power is added it increases the cylinder pressure which then stretches the studs then the head gasket fails. My turbo shaft was much looser than your failed turbo, plus it was leaking oil into the intake because the bearings were so worn out. I attribute that to the PO as well. It's pretty sad most of the issues on these engines are the very expensive emissions components.

It is my understanding that sulfur is not the lubricant in diesel fuel. The process to take the sulfur out also leaches out the lubricity from the fuel. That requires the fuel distribution point (tank farms) to add lubricity additives back in when dispensing the product to the tanker trucks. That process is less reliable. Studies have shown that using biodiesel at concentrations of 3% or greater bring the fuel back to spec as far as lubricity is concerned. There are also fuel additives that can be purchased aftermarket that can do the job. I also recently learned that Chrysler has issued a recall for the CP-4. In the mean time if you own a truck with the CP-4, use biodiesel where available and even though I no longer own a CP-4, I still use a quality fuel additive that has lubricity additives as well as cetane booster and cleaning agents to keep my fuel system happy.

And Amsoil Saber 2stroke oil is the best additive anyone can add to a stock fuel system. If I can run it on 100:1 in a high power atv designed for 32:1 and it survive 3years I feel like it has proven it can protect surfaces. So I put a 2.6oz bottle per tank.

My 2022 HO 3500 has been back repeatedly for DPF issues and dumping fuel in the oil. Almost every single mile is towing a 14k toy hauler. I loved my '18 that was flawless, the '22 is too troublesome with these issues and repeated recalls.. Thinking about 7.3 Ford gasser. Going into limp mod over the exhaust and draining an extra gallon of "oil" on oil changes is ludicrous. It's not just Cummins having these problems.

Head gasket failure, turbo failures and valve problems are because of the back pressure from the crap exhaust filters. I will take a 5.9 Cummins any day over the 6.7. 930,000 miles on my first gen 5.9 with minimal problems. I pull my 16,000 fifth wheel down the freeway at 70 mph and get 15.4 miles to the gallon if I don't have a strong headwind then it drops down to 12.7 to 13.7 depending on the headwind speed.

Pretty good video, little bit of misguided info when it comes to how the emissions system works, first of all a regen isn't so much about the filter being plugged as much as it is to convert the soot that is loaded into the canister into ash which stays in the dpf there are cases where they do get plugged with soot usually due to high idle time or oil/fuel leaking into the exhaust, in colder climates we've seen moisture freeze up the dpf differential pressure sensor tunes (also the egr passages you also mentioned) back to the dpf though it's very important to know the difference between soot load and ash load, soot load being caused by the soot in the exhaust getting trapped by the dpf, and ash load being a function of the dpf needing to be serviced

You are incorrect in your description of the turbo. Cummins does not use vgt. It is not a variable geometry turbo in the sense it uses veins. Cummins uses a sliding nozzle. The whole set design is far simpler than the architecture that is used by Garrett that is deployed on the dirty Max and the powder stroke(GM &FORD).

When temps drop to 30 degrees or so it sets a code for no. 2 def hose heater open or shorted. It ohmed out ok and was getting 4.5 volts. It appears that the coolant hoses arent getting as warm as the coolant lines to the doser. 91 degrees on the doser lines and 50 degrees at the def tank. Havent seen the def pump yet but I suspect the coolant isnt circulating in def tank. Cummins quickserve shows a valve to open and close coolant lines. I am planning my next move. I could use some ideas.

My father has an old 1953 Ford pickup and he runs a lead substitute in the fuel because it needs to cushion the valves.(yes its a gas engine and not a diesel) do you think you would be able to run some sort of lubricant in the fuel system to add lubricating properties to the fuel so the pump doesn't burn up? Like the white bottle of Diesel 911 that we run in the winters?
