Cummins ISB engine fault
Winnebago 2005 Journey 36G Freightliner Chassis Cummins 5.9 liter engine Driving north on I75 at the Georgia border. All of a sudden the cruise control quit, all of the dash gauges went to zero. Allison transmission readout went to "DD" instead of "D5" which was normal. Two messages alternated on the dash readout. No Comm. with Engine ECU No Comm. with Trans ECU Anyone have any ideas?1.2KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Breakdown Information
2005 Winnebago Journey Freightliner Chassis 5.9 liter Cummins engine Towing 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue Me, Wife and 2 cats (cats have 15,000 miles) Traveling south on I-75 to Florida through Tennessee. We felt a vibration when we climbing hills. We made it all the way to Florida but now we get vibration when accelerating from a light. The coach has 15,000 miles. At the 5,000 mile mark, had the oil changed according to the mfr specifications (Freightliner Service Center). They also lubed the chassis (at least according to the piece of paper). I took it to a Freightliner service center in Orlando. They very quickly found a bad universal joint. That was the good news. The bad news, they said, because it was not lubricated properly, it was not covered under warranty. I don't know how they can tell, the parts were in such bad shape. Cost me $389. The Florida service center called the place that did the original lube job but got no where. So extended warranty companies are not the only guilty. I'm not really thrilled with original equipment (Freightliner) manufacturers.502Views0likes0Comments
