Title: Turbo
Post by: sedelange on August 29, 2019, 04:17:05 pm
Picked up coach from Cummins Tuesday after turbo replacement. Made it 50 miles before new turbo started going out.  There goes Labor Day weekend trip.  Ugh

Got to be a silver lining. Imagine if you were stuck in Daytona Beach for the coming weekend.

New turbo, exchange, etc? Brand? Oil return line clear?

Engine is an ISM02-500hp. Drove from Cummins Houston to Pearland Tuesday and then from Pearland I made it to Beltway 8 and I10 before Check Engine light came on. Light cycled several times.  Only fault displayed was Turbo Speed low.  Apparently more showed up on Cummins scanner. Don't know about oil line because I didn't change Turbo, Cummins did.

Boss is looking at Coaches online.

Made it out of town today thanks to Justin McDonald and the guys at Cummins in Houston.  Apparently the turbo speed sensor on the rebuilt turbo was intermittent.passed every test in the shop.  They replaced it under warranty and got me out the door.
