Engine Configuration

In-Line

Most common problems:

Air brake system leaks

Air brake systems can develop leaks in the lines or at the fittings, leading to reduced braking efficiency and potential brake failure.

Brake compressor issues

The air compressor responsible for maintaining air pressure in the brake system can fail or become inefficient, causing insufficient air pressure for proper brake operation.

Abs sensor malfunction

ABS sensors can become dirty, damaged, or faulty, leading to issues with the anti-lock braking system and potentially causing warning lights to appear on the dashboard.

Injector problems

The Cummins ISC engine may experience issues with fuel injectors, such as clogging or failure, leading to poor engine performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and potentially engine misfires.

Egr valve failure

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve on the Cummins ISC engine can fail, causing increased emissions, reduced engine performance, and potential engine stalling or rough idling.

Turbocharger wear

The turbocharger can experience wear and tear, leading to reduced boost pressure, loss of power, and increased exhaust smoke.

Cylinder head gasket failure

The in-line 6-cylinder configuration of the Cummins ISC engine may encounter cylinder head gasket failures, leading to coolant leaks, overheating, and potential engine damage.

Dpf clogging

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) can become clogged over time, leading to increased backpressure, reduced engine performance, and potential engine warning lights.

Cooling system leaks

The cooling system may develop leaks in hoses, the radiator, or the water pump, leading to overheating and potential engine damage.

Electrical system issues

Electrical issues, such as faulty wiring or connections, can cause various problems, including starting issues, malfunctioning gauges, and intermittent electrical failures.
