Cummins gave me policy and tore down the head, said they head had bad valve guides, replaced head, that did nothing to fix oil consumption.

This issue caused the truck to start throwing codes to manual regen. I had no choice but get a In-frame

KW did in-frame at 2 weeks later, cleaned my DPF Filter. 1 week later another light was on
PS - (DPF system was just cleaned aprox 30,000 miles earlier just as preventative maintenance before engine started using oil), well this engine used about 1 gallon every 15,000 miles since it was brand new.

Last week Turbo and Actuator was replaced in Flagstaff. Truck just would not run. It just died like it was starving for fuel. It would crank right up but shut right back off as if it was starving for fuel. There fix was Turbo, Actuator and Dozier Valve

24 hours later 500 miles down the road - light back on.

I've done good for myself with one truck. I started my own authority in 2013 and banked up some cash. But I'm not going to let this truck empty my account. It's done hit me hard. I need to know a trust worthy place to take it.

I'm out $39,000 to date in 4 months
I'm pretty sure I got the ISX 2250/2350

Your story is not unique by any means, but your situation could have been totally avoided...

The damage is already done, but looking back at it all, the following could have prevented 99% of it ...

* Installing a bypass oil filter and doing regular oil changes based on fuel consumption instead of time/mileage intervals when the engine/truck was still new to prevent the carbon and soot packing and destroying the internals.

* Regular EGR tune-ups BEFORE all those problems set in, and doing all the things to prevent excess soot buildup and emissions system clogging to begin with.

* Keeping an eye on regen history and investing in the Insite software. Making sure the readings stay below 3.0 to prevent other problems like cooking the injectors and a lot of other damage like shortened turbocharger lifespan.

* Keeping the engine and emissions system healthy from the beginning yourself. NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER is going to do this and the OEM could care less about actually doing preventative maintenance to the emissions systems. Siting behind the wheel and not doing anything unless you get a check engine light IS A VARY BAD THING TO DO!.

* Installing a Pyro and Boost gauges and driving by them as recommended instead of running down the roads no knowing what you are doing.
==========

Now that the damage is done, you are now facing all the downstream problems that system has created because no one did those things. I don't blame anyone for wanting to remove the mandate, but there is more to it than that. YOU MUST LEARN TO TAKE CARE OF THAT EQUIPMENT AND DRIVE IT RIGHT TOO!> Otherwise, you will do nothing but continue to go down that rabbit hole.

( Not directed towards anyione here but I will say it as a general statement ...)

I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN JUST BUY A TRUCK AND DRIVE IT AND WAIT FOR IT TO DESTROY ITSELF, THEN EXPECT THE OEM NETWORK OF DEALERS MAGICLY MAKE THEIR PROBLEMS GO AWAY!

It ain't going to happen!.

That being said, I PM'd you my number. I suggest you call me sometime so that you can avoid the plethora of over-priced bad choices out there that are advertised all over the Internet just waiting to exploit someone like you and take your money, leaving you with a trash delete not worth operating an electric shaver.
