Thanks. I wished that model/style engine would work as it would be considerably less expensive. The 2019 Cummins are the "newest generation" of the Cummins line. They are considerably different than prior Cummins builds. One major difference is the composition of the engine itself. Until...

Good question. The mechanic, who has worked on Cummins engines for 30 years and is THE mechanic everyone tries to get to do their repairs is positive the issue began with the fuel system. While I may not be getting all this exactly as he told me, he said he felt the injector failing created a...

The engine started missing and then a minute later started running really rough, dragging down and laboring. I looked and smoke was really rolling out the rear. I glanced at the gauges (I had looked at them when it started missing and both the temp and Oil showed OK). In the matter of probably...

Yes, that's one of the options they've given me to get it rolling again. Out the door and on the road again is $26,600.....ouch! I've found the used engine, with 30k miles on it, for around 1/2 that. I'll probably go that route.

Be very cautious! I had a 2019 3500 that began to missfire, then it got bad and I lost the whole engine. Looking for one right now and just posted a thread inquiring about an engine that might fit my truck.

A bit of history on my Cummins ownership. I bought my first Cummins in a 1996 Dodge 2500. I bought the truck new and never had any issues with it. After a couple of years I decided I wanted to have a "2 seater" truck that had rear opening doors on it. So I traded for a 1998 2500 with a...

I thought I would let everyone know what the final results on this issue was. I had all the injectors pulled and tested at Diesel Injection in Louisville. I actually only had 4 of the injectors tested as 2 of them were in such a shape that you could blow air through them. It was if something was...

Thanks. Hopefully I didn't run it long enough to cause problems. There wasn't fuel in the oil (that we could tell) and the crankcase was actually about 1/2 qt low which is where it normally is at change time, which it is due for. When it began to give problems it did it rather quick. It wasn't...

I have a 2003 Dodge 2500 Cummins, Crew Cab, AT, about 100,000 miles on it. I've taken great care of it, changing the oil every 4000 miles. It doesn't have a drip, leak or issue....that is until the other day. About 2 weeks ago I had to drive the truck on about a 100 mile drive. I noticed...
