The MOST Common Issues with Cummins X15

[@costa1967]

Currently I am driving Volvo, but I worked as a tech at KW for a long time and I tell you, there is no such issues with x15. Have not seen single fuel pump failure over the years! Engine noisy and vibrates at idle, but this is about it. Not mentioning aftertreatment system, because this is to certain extent not exactly engine itself. So lets not spread those baseless rumors. Also I wonder how filter clogging could be Cummins issue.

[@flounder5946]

Filter clogging sounds like a company or newer person not putting anti gel in their tanks. I've met a person who never put anti gel in their freight line. Used diesel 911. Said that was for last ditch and should be using anti gel when it's below 20 degrees. I've idled my paccar quite a bit. No apu. Only had to replace the egr aftertreatment once in almost 5 or 6 years. And mine is a used 15 pete. I pretty sure it was factory egr to.

[@mikeshultz1007]

I have seen many problems with the isx15 and x15, the fuel pump gear does have a tendency to spin on the pump shaft. I use loctite 620 when reinstalling the pump gear and I have not had any issues with them.

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

You've also never seen a truck explode. So by your logic this means no truck ever explodes because you have seen plenty of trucks in the shop that have never exploded or caught fire right?

[@meminustherandomgooglenumbers]

The Cummins fuel pump issue only pertains to about 2800 engines. Recall notices were sent out a while ago, or you can call in to see if yours is recalled. If so, bring it in and they'll replace it at no cost to you.

[@costa1967]

@@angrysocialjusticewarrior You are correct. Trucks do not explode and usually do not get caught on fire if used and maintained properly.

[@ltslogging3776]

I had a 2018 x15. They only thing I had go wrong in 10000 hours was a EGR cooler. Was a great motor. So far the 2022 is even better 🤞🏻

[@josephquattrocchi5620]

I have 2 Isx 15 liters and experienced the fuel clogging the filter. I found my cause to be the cold air from the fan and under the truck. So I covered my filter housing with a plastic bag and fastened it in place with tie wraps. I have never had the problem since.

In Western Australia we run the X15 in Qaud road trains grossing 210 tonnes. We can't get 12 months without them blowing up. Set at 600hp running 24/7 yet Volvo at 700hp will do 5 years without touching the engine. We all hate the red engines. Wish Cat would come back in to the game as we have many issues in that 1 year mainly after treatment issues not to mention timing gear failure.

i haul milk for a living. im a company driver, my boss was buying paccar engines...... nothing but engine failures and other issues. we since started buying X15 engines, so far from what i can see it's a much better engine. i drive a 2022 T880 18 manual X15 565 hp 1850 tq. i dont own the truck, but as a company driver i really love that engine. milk tankers are very heavy when loaded, and for an emissions engine id say it's a beast. my previous assigned truck was a 2017 T880 18 manual paccar MX13. what an absolute dog.

[@meminustherandomgooglenumbers]

The x15 fuel pump issue is completely different than the issue with the ISX common rail fuel pump. On the ISX's with common rail fuel injection, you want to rebuild the fuel pump every 250k-300k, mainly to replace the plungers, but it's a fairly cheap rebuild even if you go all in. The x15 fuel pump problem only affects about 2800 engines. What happens is the pump's drive gear slips on the drive shaft so it stops pumping good. It's a less common problem since it's only on certain engines, it has way less potential for blowing up the engine, and the recall replacement should fix it.

[@TruckingToPlease]

Our 2020 X15 gels fuel at 25f but generally the fuel supplier's winter mix or bio-fuel percentages. We normally carry 2 sets of filters for everything.

[@michaelwright1602]

Like in liners? Lugging the motor? Running under load below 1500 rpm? Do that, and the #5 liner will break loose. RPMs need to be kept above 1500, if you have an automatic transmission that is set up to lug the motor, have it reprogrammed.

[@michaelwright1602]

The fuel pump issues are very real, it is best to rebuild them at roughly 400,000 miles. This is for the CM-2250, CM-2350 and new X-15. Cummins does not build the fuel pumps, I believe Borg Warner does. This is a known issue that no one has been able to solve. Ceramic plungers or steel plungers, they all eventually fail, so rebuild them. And if you ever get a fuel warning light, hit the shoulder and shut her down. The damage can be extensive and expensive, even with the oil circuit being taken out of the newer models. You will still have metal shrapnel in the motor, and more than likely loose all 6 injectors. The fuel gelling? Not an issue that I have ever heard of, may have been a location issue, especially in the temps you were experiencing at the time. Most drivers and O/O do not even know what PowerService is, or any of the other flavors for that matter. The emissions, the Cummins is very easy to maintain if you have a copy of Insite and an Inline 6 reader, both are readily available on eBay for the entire kit, around $250 delivered. Regular EGR Tuneups will keep you out of trouble. Best to remove and clean the EGR Valve and Cooler every few years too. Then the service intervals, 10,000 to 18,000 miles, depending upon usage and conditions. Play around with extended oil changes, and you will be in the poor house when all of that soot catches up to you. In frames start at $28,000. Best to purchase one of the Amsoil Universal remote oil filter kits and run that along with the oil filter on the motor, help keep those soot levels low. Amsoil filters are not required, just find a filter that fits. Then the two main sensors that everyone neglects, the sensors that always has Cummins turbos on back order, the Intake Manifold Pressure Sensor and the Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor. Both are easy to replace in a parking lot with a 10mm socket for the intake sensor, and a 1 1/8 inch socket for the back pressure sensor. Many turbos, at +/- $8000 a pop, are sold to unsuspecting truck owners, quite the racket these shops have going... And when you come back, they nail you for another $4000 +/- when they replace the EGR Cooler... And when you come back again, they tell you you need an in frame... That is how it works folks, when all you needed were two sensors, roughly $300 out of pocket and a few minutes of your time in the parking lot or truck stop to install them. Those blown head gaskets? Drive the truck the way it was engineered to be driven. When under a load, the rpms need to be kept at 1500 and above. Due to the design of the motor, when you lug the motor, say in that 1200 rpm range, under a load, the rods and pistons simply beat the cylinders out of their perch on the tiny ledge they sit upon. Keep the rpms up, stay out of the shop. In frames start at $28,000. The other incentive to own a Cummins, is the fact that they give you all of the manuals for your particular motor via the Engine Serial Number on their website, Cummins QuickServe, all for FREE!. All of the instructions to properly diagnose, repair and even rebuild the motor in your driveway. All of the parts catalogs, specific to your motor, along with torque specs, electrical schematics, sensors along with the needed part numbers for any speciality tools you will need to accomplish the task at hand. No other manufacturer does that. Cummins fan boy here, for good reason. Mine just rolled 1.1 million miles.

[@rickcross7888]

I just got a 2019 579 with a Cummins. Switched from Volvo finally.... I had similar issues with my manifold sensors and carried spare ones and anyone without a 10mm wrench and socket should not own a truck. The Volvo enables you to access the trouble codes on the dash and once the problem was fixed the light went out. But My problem was when I had weird problems with it suddenly going into Derate only Volvo could do a forced Regen and reset the code. Luckily I never got stranded on the road because I just unplugged the speed sensor and could still go 65 with less power no speedo or cruise control of course. But I could get home or to a Volvo dealership. My question is can I clear Derate codes with the tools you mentioned. And could you please send me a link to the best ones to purchase that I can carry with me for road side repairs. Thanks I would love to talk to you if you have time Rick Cross 763-744-6086

I believe the x15 economy series is more likely to be problematic and the x15 performance series is pretty good from what I hear.

The reason the filter gets clogged in cold weather is the secondary filter is usually a 4 or 5 microns absolute filter. And that little bit of gelling clogs it, they also dont push alot of hot fuel back in to the tank

It had a bad tune, pulling 140,000lbs day in and day out through the canadian rockies did some serious damage. Took 14 months for it to drop valves seats and destroy almost everything. I'd very much so recommend not deleting an emissions truck, instead just don't idle it. I'd take another cummins in a heart beat no question about it, had more power then any other truck I'd driven which includes all the old school favorites 3406, 60 series, dd15, just not the n14 as I'd never had a truck with one yet.

Have a c15 with over 45k hours i high idle the truck when I sleep

[@catdaddy3728]

Slide underneath the old girl with a metric adjustable wrench, and check those flywheel bolts...

[@larrybroad8746]

hello well as for the x15 it is a complete redesign from the isx not one part from these engines will interchange get the facts correct

[@JT-ko3rv]

To bad Daimler ,Bastardized the Detroit this DD15 is a gutless pile. Miss the cummins so much and it got over 1mpg better cause it ran at part throttle all day effortlessly. The Detroit has its tongue hanging out to the floor just to get and keep the load moving lol

[@williamkiser5611]

Detroit engines biggest problem is that it’s put in a freightliner…

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

Heh?

[@davidgonzalez1404]

I have a Volvo with a Cummins and my dpf module catylist blew up and now my truck has been in the shop since may because they don’t have any and they keep telling me they don’t know what to tell me and I’m about to lose my truck to the bank … Cummins suck and will leave you out to dry

[@umadbrooo6947]

Looks like we have a Cummins hatter

[@Suntan330]

Seen more trucks with Detroits in them burned down to the frame but you want to hammer Cummings.

[@sandasturner9529]

I want an x15 Cummins.

[@MrBlondeDontBark]

Why is he doing a video on Cummins issues and they don’t run Cummins? I’m a Cummins tech making other things. Most of what he’s claimed is hear say and not really seen by most shops. Run whatever engine you want, they ALL have their issues. Also keep in mind ISX15 and X15 are two different motors. Also the ISX15 had dual or single cams. There’s a lot of misinformation being presented here.

[@18wheelzofsteel53]

I agree much of what he was stating is incorrect. Especially about the fuel pump issue. From my understanding that was mainly the 12-16 models

[@sonubrar6067]

I have 2016 800k mile stil running good but one time fuel ⛽️ pump part replaced arraund 450k mile

[@sonubrar6067]

It’s x15

[@dieseldummy3277]

Just the guys opinion, he doesn't know a damn thing about a cummins, he's stuck with that weak ass Detroit-Mercedes junk.

[@kennardjohnson7875]

Detroit is the only engine I have ever blown up. Yes I've put a lot of money in my Cummins, it's left me on the side of the road.

[@ssharif2870]

So you go to Cummins asked them. what is common problems with your engine? And they go ahead tell you all the problems.

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

Hm?

[@JakeLashaway]

Good old 12v Cummins the best

[@JuanMolina-w2j]

Overall Detroit is the best!!! they cost less to maintain and rebuild and offer the same life span as other brands. DETROIT IS THE TOYOTA OF THE TRUCK WORLD. 60 series months and months with out turning it off not even to refuel.

[@openroadamerica]

[@flounder5946]
