Cam failures are a thing of the past once you get a good education on this forum.

Check mark for all the above for me. This forum is a real but saver, and much appreciated

Thing of the past? I would like to believe so. But it just seems that it is a popular problem that should not be.

Maybe Cummins should update there maintenance requirements so others do not fall to the prey to the monster.

At least Cummins has come out wth an updated oil pump. Maybe that updated bypass valve wasn’t the answer after all, I never believed in it. Just my 8 dimes of insight
