CUMMINS ISM ENGINE PROBLEMS.....WILL IT START? OR IS IT JUNK? PT1

THIS IS A TRUCK I BOUGHT AWHILE AGO....I WAS TOLD THAT THE TURBO WENT BACK. THE DEALER REPLACED IT AND THEN TOLD THE OWNER THE ENGINE WAS BAD......WE REMOVED THE WATER TANK, PTO, PUMP, SPRAYERS, VALVES AND CONTROLS. THEY WERE SOLD OF TO RECOUP SOME OF MY INVESTMENT IN THIS TRUCK. WE ARE GOING TO START AT BEGINNING WITH THE BASICS AND FUMBLE OUR WAY THROUGH THIS TO FIND OUT IF IT IS WORTH FIXING OR PARTING.

If you're still looking for a oil drain caddy thats air evacuated..emerson oil drain caddy is a great one..tho pricey . I went with a 12 volt drain caddy from northern tool ..was about 250..i do services at customer locations at times ..usually outsids and i use a battery for emptying it rather than start my compressor . As far you wanting a drain funnel..i cut the top off a plastic 55 gallon barrel..about 10 inches high..i put a nipple in the large bung hole so it sits in the barrel it drains into..i added expanded metal inside the diameter of it..and bent the edges so it was raised up off the bottom. I also used 4 self tapping screws underneath it like legs on the the lip..they fit just inside the lip of the metal 55 gallon drum in sits on..so it cant move around or fall off..it works great and holds a lot of filters for draining

Boy that thing must have made a hell of a racket when those valves let go. I think you might be on to something with the hydrolocking. The cam was trying to open the valves against massive cylinder pressure.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

it definitely had a bad day. i imagine it came to an abrupt halt. the problem with todays engine is when you have a small failure.....it does so much destruction.....it is hard to repair something like this over replacing. the cost is stacked higher to repair. however, the truck is more attractive to sell with a successful in frame with paperwork.

Guess I'll be "that guy"...I own 3 of these engines and they've done the same thing even with adjusting the overhead. Valves come apart, hit pistons, send parts through turbo. First one at 200k, 2nd at 275k, then 55k later spins can bearing. Eat their weight in injectors, ECMs and turbos/actuators.

[@bobbyossenbeck6402]

Well you bought it parts Hopefully you can save the engine

[@LifeWithChase]

I'm gonna guess the turbo went out and got oil in the intercooler, the turbo was replaced and the truck was driven after the new turbo was installed which caused the engine to runaway from the oil that had accumulated in the intercoooler and dropped a valve in the process. Idk just a guess but it looks time consuming and expensive whatever the case lol

[@j.c.smithprojects]

expensive is right. i bought this truck with the worst case scenario in mind....replace the engine with a used one. in my area, this truck is very attractive. they make great dump trucks for pulling an excavator. mid range power and a 10 speed make it ideal for a local excavation company. it was a single axle road tractor originally......no real money selling it like that. i have my theory on what happened. i go over it in the next video.

[@JJKHaywood]

The ECM should have recorded any overspeed occurrences before they shut it down. I usually look at Idle hour % too.

[@chrishigdon1070]

if it has good oil pressure and is not knocking bad could be just the top end maybe. good luck and like the video's

[@j.c.smithprojects]

since it wont turn over completely, i have no idea what the oil pressure would be. the next video is coming soon.

[@joshmaynard8231]

Hmm, that would have made some interesting noises going down the road. Judging by the lack of oil staining in the bottom end that looks like a pretty fresh engine, after 300,000-odd miles it would normally be a lot darker, so I'm wondering if someone forgot to set the valve clearances when the new lump went in, or maybe a short block...

you can set the timing before you put the head back on.

I think it blow the turbo, then run away an over reved till someone stalled it or it stoped cause of the destroyed valvetrain.

We have an almost identical water truck at work and almost every 2 months we have to pull the battery and ground terminals on it and clean them the same way, no matter what we apply to the terminals they still corrode like that, no other truck does it, we,re not sure if it has something to do with the water we spray or what. About twice a year we replace the terminals..

do you have a leaking terminal on the battery? battery acid leaking onto the terminals will do that.

Hello like the video have the same engine need some advice on the filter oil filter housing what oil pipe must be there? Is there any contact details?

[@amsimons29]

I think they replaced just the turbo and didn't pull and clean the air to air cooler and it runaway. Or what you said they hooked the coolant line up wrong. Or the egr cooler is leaking coolant in the oil and hydro locked it. Also inspect the injector cups they can crack and put coolant in the cylinders usually its cylinder 6 and 5 for some reason. And before you get it running pull the air to air cooler and clean it I be willing to bet they never did

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i didnt think they hooked the coolant lines up wrong. i am betting money they didnt clean the air to air.....when i towed it in, the rear end was up in the air and there was a good amount of oil dripping from the air charge cooler.

[@screamindemon811]

Hopefully when you get the head off you will have a better idea of salvageable or not, right now I am thinking salvageable, are there issues, yes, can they be overcome yes if things dont look too shabby under the head. What is nice is depending on the mileage, you either have a truck that works you could sell, or an engine to use or sell and a truck still for parts if you wanted. So I could see you coimg ahead on this with a tidy little profit too boot and I think you r suspicion about the coolant hydro locking engine isnt that far off... because there are a lot of sign that sure make it look like it could be the cause

[@j.c.smithprojects]

when i looked at this truck, i bought it based on my opinion of the worst case scenario. that was "the motor is junk and i will have to replace it with a used one". i figured that cost of a used engine with comparable or less miles, fluids, filters, miscellaneous parts, my time to do the work and how much i need to make on this investment of time and money. it is less expensive to replace the engine than to repair. if i repair it with a successful full in-frame rebuild, the value of the truck increases. it doesnt increase enough to cover the cost of all the parts but it makes the truck more desirable and easier to sell. it has a shopping list of incidental parts that need replaced due to age and rust. it adds up fast. in the next video, i go over what i think happened, my options and what what i think is the best plan.

[@jasonbaker1124]

I watched this video to see you tear into a M11, I might get one soon. I bet, when the turbo went the engine overran until the valvetrain let go, I base this off the junk on your finger from the exhaust and the condition of the keepers. Was the Cummins dealer at fault? On one hand they aren't mind readers but a competent tech would have seen the signs once they removed the turbo and also saw the engine was extremely low on oil.

[@larrybe2900]

What is the determining factors that will let you go this far on an engine?

[@j.c.smithprojects]

many factors come into play to make this decision. first. i have to be in the truck "right". i was told this truck needed engine repair. when looking at the value of this truck before buying, i figure what it is worth running and driving like it should. work the numbers backwards from there. deduct the cost for worst case scenario....... a used replacement engine including fluids and my labor time to diagnose, tear down and repair or replace the engine. subtract the amount i would need to profit on this investment of time and money. the ending number tells me what i can pay for the truck. second, after i figure out what the engine needs, i look at all the other repairs the truck will need to achieve the caliber of truck i want to sell. if the numbers dont work as a repair....i analyze it as used parts for others trucks.....if it dont make dollars, it dont make sense!

Probably did not clean the cac and it ran away check the abuse history.

Also before you take that stiffener plate off if you haven’t already heat the Tory bolts with a torch Cummins uses a nasty yellow loctite I have seen many a man take the skin of the top of there hand on the block trying to break them free. Built a c13 that did the same thing owner lost a low pressure turbo and had a hack mechanic change it. Left all the oil in the cac it was fine at idle but I bet his ole butt hole was puckered when he flipped the cruise to high idle and it ran away 🤦🏻‍♂️
