ISX Cummins EGR/ DPF Maintenance

We buy alot of Cummins ISX Motors. In the used truck world I spend alot of time trying to decipher where another customer gave up on issues they may be having on a truck and find out what can be rectified. Alot of time we benifit where someone else threw in the towell a little too early.

I came across this guy while google searching ISX egr issues (rawze-CHECK OUT HIS YOUTUBE CHANNELL) last week and he did a great job explaining how to attack various turbo/egr/ dpf issues on a cummins ISX. I will post a link which I think will prove helpfull for my customers to regularly maintain this finicky but good motor.
I never met you but thank you Rawze for the instructional videos. This is one of 6 on a egr tuneup. Worth watching as it can save you a couple miles a gallon if you dont mind getting your hands dirty.

Filing for your own authority...

A lot of company drivers we speak to want to start their own business, buy there first truck and start right away brokering their own loads. this is for for those who do but just need to know how to get the first step forward. Consider joining OOIDA. They are nationwide but happen to be based just a few exits east of us. They have helped tens of thousands of drivers,
So I think it's important to throw good karma their way.
Here's a few links that could really help you get going on starting

Happy Thanksgiving!

I would like to take a second to thank all of our customers this past year. We have a lot to be thankful for! Hopefully you're not on the road and are safe at hope with your family.  But if your not, a special thanks to those who couldn't make it home and are wishing they were. God Bless!

We will be closed during the Thanksgiving holiday to re-open on Monday.
