Re: Cummins engine problem!
Cummins told me that number 1 and number 6 cylinders were leaking. They explained it as shrinking. On my engine the two part manifold is not available. I have 125,000 miles on the coach and she is 16 years old. I know about CAC's replaced that two years ago and that was over $5,500. That included a rebuild on my radiator and oil cooler and all new hoses coolant, hydraulic fluid and air. Hope this year is less expensive. This could be my last year to travel due to my wife health issues. I hope to get one more summer out of the heat.

I had that problem last May in Coburg, OR. My engine is a 6CTA 325hp. Had a leaking exhaust manifold and the turbo was pushing oil. Cummins Coachcare in Coburg did the work. NO broken bolts. I soaked the manifold bolts with PB Blaster for three days prior to the removal. Total cost with a NEW turbo and manifold was $2500.00 and change. They did say if bolt are broken it would add labor, and could not estimate the cost. Sure perked up the performance on my coach.622Views0likes0Comments
