Hey my 2018 Peterbilt 389 x 15 started loosing prime but cycling key is not priming it it will randomly start taking couple of hrs but it does start and don't seem to matter if key is cycled. Relief valve had very little fuel come out when I checked it
Very impressive with your knowledge, it’s technician like you that go the xtra mile to solve the problem. Unlike todays that just keep replacing parts. Your knowledge is gratefully appreciated ty
Alot of techs are forced to work this way. No one wants to wait for any real diagnostic time, always got someone rushing you and shit. Trust me we would all rather take the needed time to diagnose the problem right the first time, just isnt always feasible.
People think we plug in a computer and it tells us what to change and they don't want to pay for diagnostic so if they don't wanna pay for a diagnostic they're gonna get the parts cannon and rightfully so. You're gonna respect and pay for my knowledge, or you're gonna pay for the quick educated guess and parts cannon dice roll. Were not fucking dumb parts changers, customers are just cheap.
I'm far from mechanic, but been driving for about 26 years and with these new engines,there's one thing I know for sure,and that's DO NOT IDLE THIS THINGS!That's when that ash builds up the most and kills the aftertreatment and it is not good for the engine itself, no matter wich make.Nice video and I never had a good luck with Cummins. I think it's a big gamble,like 50/50 win or lose😁
It's tough not to Idle when it's 115 degrees in pheonix but.after all summer running the southwest I know it's my Idle hrs that increased my soot loads that have wrecked havoc on my turbo actuator the tirbo and various sencors. Almost mandatory to have an apu if you truck in thos climares.
I worked at Iowa 80 as a service technician and I wish you were the guy that taught me how to diagnose and fix any problems instead of the guy I ended up with. Great work.
I had an excess blowby issue at 675k miles on my isx powered t680. Visible exhaust out of the stack and blowby from the oil fill tube. I had an overhead performed and it fixed the issue. I doubt it was ever done before I purchased the truck. Sometimes it’s the little things that help
Yes, if camshaft is good This might help with the blowby. This is one of the first things i do, check For wearable marks on the cam Old ISX15 blowby filters are serviceable When plugged it can damage certain components like turbo, seals etc
I am on 2nd 525 first ISX and now X15 and currently 524,000 on the X15. Burns no oil between changes at 12-15,000 miles. I change at or before 800 hrs. Mobil Delvac 15W40. 1 gallon of coolant every 3 months. I drive truck 1500 rpm and above and down shift at 1400 rpm. Current engine has had blow by for last 150,000 miles and the resonator box for air compressor had a crack in it. Replaced it and 90% of blow by gone.
I have worked at a KW dealership for 25 years I had to laugh about 7 years ago when we sent a truck to Cummins for a dyno run they sent it back and said it needed 6 cylinder kits because it didn't have enough blow by I can honestly say that was the first engine that I have ever rebuilt for not enough blow by. But as it turned out that was when they were having problems with carbon packing and they came out with the new anti polishing liners
Really good question. Something I would love to know the answer too. Hopefully Ryan can answer this. What numbers constitute high crankcase pressure. 3 inches of mercury 4? 5? Does it depend if it’s idling, under load. I’ve done a search online and can’t find the answer would be really interesting to know
Question for you, I have a pdi tuner and when I run a regen it causes high crank pressure light to come on and blow by kicks up a lot from normal! 2019 x15 engine
literally seen the same exact problem on the same engine last week in the shop. came in for high crankcase pressure took the head off cylinder 6 piston ring broke
Hello. I need help I have a Cummins QSX15 engine. I carried out maintenance for it after operation. The engine is unstable in the number of cycles. It increases and decreases rapidly. As well as a lack of response to increasing fuel when pressing the pedal to impose a speed increase
Hello watched your videos. Have a question about my injector. I’ve been getting check engine lights because of fault code 1143 which is Injector solenoid 4 mechanical system not responding or out of adjustment. That injector has been replace twice but still gives me check engine light. Trucks runs just fine and not derating. Any ideas of what that might be thanks so much
I dont have a check engine light for crankcase pressure, but a bit of smoke comes out of the breather tube in the front. I thought these engines dont do that.
I just rebuilt my isx15 I had changed that pressure sensor about just under a year ago. I sure hope it's the sensor again. I did a non replacing crank filter but heard there's no such thing
HEY ryan on the kenworth cx15 semi 370 gear ratio we hauling gravel with dump trailer truck is t880 2021 this thing is super slow pulling the load an going up small hills can this truck be turned up.
At one time Cummins spec on blow-by, or crankcase pressure, was anything over 3.0 in H2o, was cause for concern. I wouldn't tear into an engine for that alone, I would want some excessive oil consumption to be present too.
I get high crankcase pressure when I pull hard then it wants to shut it down. I idle it along to where it's inactive plug in, delete the code and go again but I use some recycled oil for a year and a half against my better judgment then went back to my rotello. Still fighting the problem. Will be plugging in these things are eating injectors another subject for another day

With that much blowby should a complete overhaul be done or should I do the cylinder cutout test. To isolate what cylinder it could be?
If you have distinct puffing coming out of the crankcase it would be a indication of 1 cylinder but if it is just a heavy flow then the engine should be overhauled may have been dusted look at the inlet impeller on the turbo
Remove the turbo oil drain tube from draining into the engine. Let the tube drain into a bucket and plug the drain back fitting on the block, then run your test, this removes the turbo from the crankcase temporairily while you test
How many miles are on the truck considering it's the x15 in a kw990 I can't imagine it having much more than 500,000 MI that's either some pretty s***** luck or the x-15 is going to continue the ISX hit or miss reliability reputation.

There is a lot of bad information in this video. First off, the type of oil did not cause the failure, all diesel oil generally meets most oem specifications nowadays and high detergent oils do not cause engine failures. Next you are just shotgunning parts left and right first off how you jump to cleaning the dpf and reinstalling it without doing a snap test and verifying if there is anything wrong with the engine causing it to be plugged. Next, just throwing a sensor and filter at it is pretty hacky; you can bypass both those with a water manometer and verify if they are the issue. When doing the cut out test you want the engine to be up to operating temp. You were doing it at 124 degrees coolant temp . Next you need to do it under load when cylinder pressure is at its highest to get an accurate test. I wouldn't pull apart an engine for 1.0inh20 change. Lastly if you find there is blowby pull the injectors, leak it down and bore scope prove its bad don't guess this is why mechanics get a bad name
Hmmm I’ll just take it to the dealer and have the warranty company sort it out and get my engine fixed lol. All kidding aside, that was a good comment you left behind and hopefully the poster saw it as good feedback for future videos.
Yea and if you take it to a dealer that's what they will probably do. But he isn't making videos to train shop mechanics he is making this so owners know where to start and that's probably the cheapest place first. If it were the crank case filter or the pressure sensor a driver would save himself over a grand probably vs the steps you suggested.
I just had code for high crankcase pressure. I replaced crankcase filter, shit I pulled it out and it was soaked and heavy with oil. Checked breather tube for restrictions. Cleared code and issue hasn't returned. That was 3 wks ago.
Hi Ryan . Just luv ur videos man . U doing grt wrk. I hav quick questions if u can help I have 2020 Cummins x15 in my truck. Can you suggest some computer or scan devices which can clear the codes and able to force regen The truck . This could save o/o from towing expenses. Take care man

Good day I have a isx 15 and I have Cummins insite I am in ct can you remote my computer and help me with this engine speed problem am having I will pay for your service
Great information. Looked like that crankcase pressure was being measured in inches of water, not mercury? Why not run some non-detergent oil in it and see if it helps?
Single costly issues like these in trucking and being an O/O is what piss me off the most and just makes me want to hang it up and say the hell with trucking…..smh it’s insane how mechanics want to charge ridiculous amounts of money to do these jobs also. Like bro do you think I’m just pulling money out my hat….smfh 💀🤦🏻♂️
Had a same exact problem with my X-15 at 34,000 miles. #6 hole was shot the ring was broken. Thank God the warranty coverd all the work. I was getting code 555.
What about missing a gear, when you think you've got a gear and let the clutch out and over rev it, could brake a ring, Ide chose the new engine for $10,000
you didnt mention you should check the blowby tube for being plugged, the red stop engine light doesnt come on till 28 psi, throttle whipping it will give you a more accurate look at the data than a idle will.
For me turned out to be the wiring harness...comes back on when I bumpy roads. Replaced sensor,had a lifetime filter...its the harness...haven't replaced it ...just wiggle it as needed. Annoying none the less...wish company would just replace the harness.
These camshafts are shit, i have changed a bunch of these Cylinder head valves don’t fully open Making excessive pressure in the chamber, pistons rings brake and have a bunch of blowby I mean you can have many scenarios that can lead to this same issue But these cummins love camshafts and rocker arms, After finding this You must check main bearings I have found broken cooling piston nozzles, liner loses lubrication, rings get extremely hot and brake pushing lots of blowby I can go on and on. Lol many things can go wrong here
Cummins are junk got sick of my fleet of them needing rebuilds every 300,000 miles. Switched to Scania and have 4 with 900,000 miles and havent done any engine rebuilds on any of them
360 k miles and already overhaul… Cummins is a joke now… Old N14 was way better but still not as good as Volvo D12… never see any overhaul on volvo engine before 1.5-2 mil miles

you didnt mention you should check the blowby tube for being plugged, the red stop engine light doesnt come on till 28 psi, throttle whipping it will give you a more accurate look at the data than a idle will.
This guy doesn't know a jack about Cummins engine.....
he's clueless...
@@cic-jakevanddalgeemyers.2739 i guess i have to ask if your saying i am clueless or ryan is clueless,
For me turned out to be the wiring harness...comes back on when I bumpy roads. Replaced sensor,had a lifetime filter...its the harness...haven't replaced it ...just wiggle it as needed. Annoying none the less...wish company would just replace the harness.
Broken rings
CUMMINS PLEASE ADD RELATIVE COMPRESSION TEST TO INSITE.
Is there an option to run it on 5 cylinders? 🤣
Cummins engine being having olot issues with they engines
These camshafts are shit, i have changed a bunch of these
Cylinder head valves don’t fully open
Making excessive pressure in the chamber, pistons rings brake and have a bunch of blowby
I mean you can have many scenarios that can lead to this same issue
But these cummins love camshafts and rocker arms,
After finding this
You must check main bearings
I have found broken cooling piston nozzles, liner loses lubrication, rings get extremely hot and brake pushing lots of blowby
I can go on and on. Lol many things can go wrong here
Man, that’s not sounding too good Ryan.
Not good! Don’t hope this to be the result
Cummins are junk got sick of my fleet of them needing rebuilds every 300,000 miles. Switched to Scania and have 4 with 900,000 miles and havent done any engine rebuilds on any of them
360 k miles and already overhaul… Cummins is a joke now… Old N14 was way better but still not as good as Volvo D12… never see any overhaul on volvo engine before 1.5-2 mil miles
Tip #1 delete the damn thing
