RE: CM 871 low oil pressure - where to start?
Ok I'll chime in here a little bit. Here's my take on this....

Blowby/Crankcase pressure: You never actually said you have excessive blowby, do you? You said you had a crankcase pressure code.... I had that code, replaced the sensor to no avail then pulled back the wire loom and noticed rubbed through wires 2" from the plug. Cummins sell a pigtail to repair this.

Oil Pressure: If your lucky and don't have the update, the oil bypass valve could be your issue.... here is rawzes video on it.

It fixed my low oil pressure problem. If not then it may be needing a bearing roll before you throw a rod.

Boost: I guess we need to know what your boosting under full load to know if there is a issue or not. When your loaded and climbing a hill, keep it above 1500 and giver snot then let us know the most you hit. If it's lower by a little bit then I would suspect a small boost leak maybe. The blue intake hose has leaked a.little bit EVERY time a mechanic has taken it off.


User's Signature: I'm no mechanic, I'm just a guy that breaks down enough to know a bit.
