Cummins Engine and Service. I complained long ago about poor mpg. Glen suggested I take it in and start the process of complaining. Got in touch with a Gentleman in the Charlotte office. Ball began rolling, also contacted FWTC my selling dealer.
The computers were now on and figuring specs out Why What Where you know the typical cant be my fault but lets find a finger to point. They really did care and I think we cured it not 100% sure but I at least know a whole lot more about the Cummins Engine ISC.
Ran a computer back ground on day one how I drive, how fast, how I brake, idle average engine temp high and low same with speeds and % at what speed I travel what gear it was in everything you can ever think of. Truck gets better mileage than I thought but thats in gear not Idle or when Pro-Heat is on.
Came down to this the Engine is perfect and it is, the problem seemed to be in the Transmission it was a 5pd now its a 6pd. Rpms dropped 17% overall in higher gears. Fuel mpg increased 8-9% some times. I am according to the computer a good driver for fuel economy and braking, although idle has to decrease 20% idle time wow I though what is it when people do not have AUXs?
I am very happy with the performance, and depedablity of the Cummins Engine. I have nothing to compare it to other than Posts here but I have had zip zero prolems with the Engine so far. It has plenty of torque, its quite, starts imm except after changine fuel filters. Runs smooth.
