Thanks Bob. What about the low coolant sensor?

No info on that one.  Let me know if a change is needed.  I spent a lot of time and energy to lessen any power losses and optimize the engines state of tune.  Too little torque for me when first received.

Engine downshifted at half throttle to accelerate versus stay in gear and pull.  Now it pulls.  Normal mode on trans not mode on.  More fun to drive it torquey

If you idle your engine and hear random firing at the rear grille from the engine the cam sensor is oil soaked and mistiming the injectors

I resemble this remark.  Thank you for your comments!

Cummins Coach Care will vary by location.  Hourly rate for labor is not consistent across locations.  We have been to two now Phoenix and Spokane.  Good service at both but two different "districts".  Really appreciated the 5S and Kaizen efforts in Phoenix.  They had an absolutely spotless and well organized shop.

Just had service at the Spokane CC.

Engine Service: (lube) Oil, Filter, two fuel filters $310.71
Gen service: oil, filters for oil, air, fuel, load test $272.18

We have been out 10 months and paying instead of trying to work it out was just more convenient than doing it myself.
