Thank you for the videos. Great job. Here's a tech tip for ya. If the driver says I have to keep adding coolant and I don't see it leaking. Quick test. Pull the drain on the air tanks. If coolant starts flowing from the air tanks. It needs a compressor
Great video! Have same problem, one shop checked combustion gases test on it but they said there is not anything wrong, but it is kinda still leaking through the reservoir cap
Do you know if you can get the abuse history through a PDI or Bosch unit? For anyone in the future looking to buy a rig with a Cummins ISX15/X15 to be able to check stuff like this before they make that big commitment. Thanks for showing the test, first time I've seen that. And the test strips idea is really smart, a simple and cheap test you can do yourself.
We had an isx blowing coolant out and the owner immediately said the head is warped and to take it off. While doing the strip down we found every lash setting to be tight. Zero lash on both intake and exhaust. I wanted to do the overhead set but owner insisted on replacement.
Changed out refurbished radiators 3 times! Radiator finally holds, now the COOLANT starts leaking from some where else 😂 lol! Thanks for the videos I’m fixing on replacing the EGR cooler next I can’t get a Delete here in Cali !!! 😭
I have no coolant in oil. Air compressor line don’t have any wet spots. No coolant leak under truck anywhere. When truck is idling it’s good but when on the road the coolant drains. Coolant is going somewhere else what else could it be? Gasket?
I’m having high coolant psi and takes more than 2 mins to build primary air on idle . I’m also having oil n water coming out of secondary air tank on driver side . Would this be an indication of compressor bad ?
I had sorta the same issue on my 2010 FX35... but when i drive all the coolant ended up in the expansion tank and out of the radiator... so often i had to siphon it back into the radiator. I didnt have any weird lights but if i continute to drive all the coolant will be in the expansion tank and myc ar will overheat.... after change so much i finally took it my mechanic where they found i had a warped head... changed headgaskets, timing chain, water pump, galley gaskets and all... all seems to have resolved the issue for now.... i'm still getting the air out the system after 195 miles driven.
I had pressure in my coolant and after running for 4 hours I was told it was my over flow reservoir cap. Then when I would get a load the pressure would spit out coolant through my hoses and split my passenger side top hose. So I ask them to change egr cooler and they found a crack in my head. My cam was damaged and rollers needed replacing.
I have the isx 15. I’m losing coolant. But still trying to determine where. It’s going from cold max to cold min in about 16k miles. Talking with kenworth, I have no signs of a head gasket. No pressure in the coolant system. No cross between engine oil and coolant. Both look clean. No coolant coming out of the vent cap. No bubbles percolating in the reservoir. With a pressure tester it goes from 15psi to 0 in less than 10 minutes. Kenworth told me to check my fuel and transmission. (13 speed manual with heat exchanger) can’t see coolant in the fuel or water separates. I changed the transmission oil and sending it out for a oil analysis to see if coolant is mixing in it. I’ve taken the hose off the exit side of the egr cooler and looked good and felt dry. At this point I’m hoping it’s the heat exchanger on the transmission. It’s the cheapest fix. Other than that the truck runs like a champ and no loss of power
TAT Express Inc. I did that over the weekend. Ended up draining the transmission. I bag some of it so I could send out for oil analysis. The oil looked like crap and I was 99% sure it was bad from coolant. But had no time and had to get back on the road. Well today it failed. Seen oil in my reservoir. So luckily I just got loaded and was close to home. I was heading for Washington. I went under and pulled to fill plug and oil looked like a milkshake. So picked up a new heat exchanger and came home. When I pulled the drain plug, coolant came out first then the milkshake came out. So flushing everything out tonight and back on the road in the morning.
@@michaelwright1602 if I had more time I would. But it was already late in the day and trailer was loaded. If I wasn’t on the road by next morning, the load would have to sit on my trailer all weekend. Luckily I was close to a kenworth dealer who had the heat exchanger and was about an hour from home. Son grabbed the part and hauled ass home and swapped it out which was a quick job. Flushing the cooling system took all night but I got back on the road and made my delivery in time to get reloaded on a Friday and make it home for the weekend
My friends truck head block was told and need to be replaced because one of the injector stoped working. I understand if the injectors stays open, it will damage and scarf the walls of the cylinder, his case it was closed dead (no contamination with oil). Did he replaced the head for no reason since piston /wall/ring is lubricated with oil. ? Ther wasn't don any compression to the cylinder before head replacement. (Sorry for my engl.)
Forgot to mention checking the radiator cap. Even if its not mounted on the radiator but a coolant tank. Since caps are pressure releaf valves and need to maintain a certain amount of pressure to the system to lower boiling point since every pound of pressure raises boiling point like 3 or 4 lbs. If the cap doesn't hold pressure due to a bad seal then the coolant can boil out slowly. I don't work on big trucks but in the automotive business & I would say 70% of the caps I test fail
Good videos, I have a 450 ISX and when I was pulling a load I heard a big noise and truck started shaking, and I noticed I lost almost all my coolant and oil level raise like almost 3 times on the stick but is not mixed with coolant. Egr connections look clean, engine didn’t got hot or give low coolant warning. This happened yesterday had to towed trick to the yard. I will appreciate any recommendations
@@jjteam8991 my first truck was a Peterbuilt 2007 has Isx and I put 1800000 on it. Now on this 2015 Cascadia I have 450 ISX 800.000 miles on it so far so good.. only oil changes
Hi,thanks for the helpful video always.i have 2013 volvo d13. My problem is temperature going up all the way to 205 after I stop driving,traffic areas,and hills.and never go back to 170 unless I turn on the AC period.and when I open hood see if the fun working if I on the ac yes if not!! I change thermostat, fun selinoid,temperature coolant sensor.fan clutch is good.any aida what can be
I have a Cummings ISX when going up bridge with a load my engine is stalling. I changed the accuator on the turbo. The coolant is very dark. Can pressure from EGR cause engine to stall?
Is it normal for coolant to go into the left side of the reservoir? Mechanics just replaced the head on my compressor and told me it was normal to see that
New Subscriber....think I need a new mechanic behind just watching this...just bought a 2011 peterbilt with Cummins isx...rear & front seal leak & the same coolant issue...not losing a lot but enough for the low coolant light to come on...but overflow stays nearly full...truck isnt running hot...dash reads "NO WARNINGS"...remarkable oil pressure is balanced..but does have leak...bought at cheap price...less than 15...but mechanic diagnoses was truck would need a complete overhaul because of the coolant issue...I wish you'll establishment was closer for better 2nd opinion...I just wanted the seals replaced & find the coolant leak....I can only afford so much...
Have the same problem coolant pressure however it keeps running not overheating. My question is if it's not overheating and continues to drive can it make the matters worse?
@@TATEXPRESSINC it's not mixing with oil the coolant level goes down about couple of inches below the minimum mark and then stays there doesn't lower anymore.
What would cause coolant to leak from the muffler? The exhaust dumps under the truck and the coolant gets low within a day. I parked the truck after noticing white exhaust and coolant dripping out of the muffler.
Cap replacement? Sorry not sure what your referring in that last part. Im having that same problem. Chaged the egr but still havent a coolant pressure issue. What cap are you reffering to? 🤔
Hey man I love your videos but now at this point I need your help my truck was at cummins for the extended warranty evaluation inspection and they found The front gear housing gasket has an oil leak that is classified as a class 3 leak, meaning oil is running down the housing, also the coolant filter is leaking coolant. now you know if I get that fixed by dealer it would cost me $$$ I live in texas Dallas 1st time truck owner and very confused about the situation please advise me thank you
@@TATEXPRESSINC I have same problem. No coolant leak but I have to add coolant every day, and I only see the STOP ENGINE light when I stop or idle but when I'm driving the light disappear. Any idea?
Question:. I had front engine cover gaskets replaced, valves adjusted, rear engine seal replaced. I was basically leaking half a gallon of oil daily from front and rear. I never had any antifreeze preassure even when the engine was hot. Durning driving even on heavy loads on flat surface my antifreeze temperature usually stayed at around 180 even at idle. My oil temperature was usually at 200-210 regardless if on idle or driving. Now after the repair at idle or driving antifreeze temperature is at 200+-. Oil temperature at idle is 220. When driving under a 44k lbs load my oil temperature reaches close to 240 at times close to red line that's at 250. Antifreeze temperature stays at 200 and fan kicks in at 210-212F. And now when engine is hot I'm getting preassure in antifreeze rasivour which I never did. Before the oil leak repairs engine was hot I would open the antifreeze rasivour and I would never hear feal any preassure. What do you think the Russian mechanics messed up on the engine?
I have the same Problem with an ISX, the Head is Brand New though. Reservoir cap is New, when I fill up Reservoir to ( cold Full) after running the truck for a while specially on an Uphill it throws it out through the Breather hose on the Reservoir.
More than likely you wasted that money on a new head, odds are a cylinder liner has broken loose and taken out your fresh new head. To see if this is your issue, drop the oil pane, pressurize the coolant system to 20 psi and let her sit overnight. Now, have someone get under the motor with a good flashlight while one of you bars the motor over by hand. If it is a slipped liner, you should be able to hear coolant gurgling in the head and will find traces of coolant on the cylinder wall, normally #5 or #4. Always do this test before removing the head, as these Cummins heads are pretty much one time use, and never use a remanufactured head, always new OEM.
My isx15 burning coolant I'm adding up half or more then half gallon of coolant in after 10days.now i noticed on oil pouring cap i see some green fungus type thing
We have the same problem, we inspected the EGR cooler, was good, we change the air compresor, last we replace the head, and last a week, we back to the same problem, so now we are lost, any sugestión
New sub, Hey I’m looking an ISX in a 2012 or so Volvo, they put a new radiator when I looked at it we ran it for about 15 to 20 minutes drove it around sounded great. shut the truck off, the coolant reservoir was either boiling or air was steadily being introduced even like five minutes after the engine was off????
I need help. My coolant level is low every other day. When I take the cap off the coolant level rises a bit. At one point it was blowing out under the truck. That has stopped but now it whistling very loud. Can you help????
i need some assistance on diagnosing my problem! im losing coolant no visible leaks no high pressure but i found oil residue in the reservoir tank! one shop mention head gasket but my oil is clean no milky oil in the pan! another said for sure oil cooler but now im hearing EGR! im very confused any advise will be very appreciated !!!
I need your help. I'm tired of spending money on my 2014 cascadia with isx cummins engine. I need to know hiw to clear codes on it when the check engine light comes on, engine shut down light, and warning engine light all shows up at the same time, and the truck goes into 5mph derate
Invest in a Cummins INLINE 6 reader, you can find them on eBay for around $250, the diagnostic software is included. Odds are you need an EGR tuneup, that is where I would start. When was the last time you changed out the sensors and cleaned the soot out of the intake side of the motor? You have two key sensors, your intake manifold pressure sensor and exhaust back pressure sensor, those should be replaced yearly. Now, how about the DOC and DPF cans? When was the last time those were removed, baked and de-ashed? It sounds like your cans are face plugged, along with needing an EGR Tuneup. When was the last time you adjusted the valves too? The overhead? It sounds like the truck has not be maintained properly. Just my .02
@@TATEXPRESSINC sorry my phone has been acting up. I just had it repaired. I had to take a temporary job until i get my truck repaired. I had a technician come out and put a laptop on it, and discovered that the nox sensors had it in derate. I will change then out, and follow the advice of Michael Wright. Thanks guys. I definitely will keep you all informed.
@@michaelwright1602 Thanks for the very informative comments. I will definitely follow your advice. Currently, i had to jump on a temporary driving position to keep things going. I will be back on the cascadia every weekend until i get it fixed.
Could a bad air compressor give high air pressure around 140 psi and at the same time high coolant pressure or do I have 2 different problems? 2015 dd15 help please
my 2015 cummins isx15 engine through a rod at 283k miles with no alerts on the dash at all and oil pressure read normal until i suddenly lost power on the highway...anyway now cummins is asking me why i ran the motor at 2750 rpm's for 30 seconds according to ecm ....of course my response was...i didnt the gauge only goes to 2500 rpm's and also the motor has a rev limiter...my question is....is it possible to run that motor at those rpm's?
Why didn’t you do the bottle test to RE confirm would have been the easiest way also aside from the other test that were done ???? Bubble in a bottle you already no bad head Curious ??

I have a friend who has the same problem but don't know what to do
Would a leak from a hose cause the same issue? Like sucking down and returning after cooling down
What about if its leaking from the cap but not overheating engine?
Do the gas check
Glad I saw this so a simple head gasket after a overheat is not recommended correct?

Have I been doing it wrong ? Are you supposed to add water to the coolant ? I usually pick up a bottle from the truck stop and never added water to it
Kingsley, it's best to use red coolant that does not require adding water. Water contains minerals that are not good for internal components.

Good explanation. 👍👍👍
We have the same problem, we inspected the EGR cooler, was good, we change the air compresor, last we replace the head, and last a week, we back to the same problem, so now we are lost, any sugestión
Oguer, did you do combustion gas test?
Yes we did
After repairs, you are still showing combustion gases entering cooling system?
What about when the coolant reservoir turns black inside
Kyle, that would need to be troubleshot. It could be oil or soot entering the coolant system.
@@TATEXPRESSINC I’m going with soot… as coolant stays clear of oil… seen this on a couple trucks… I think it’s small head gasket leak
Kyle, you can perform a combustion gas test and pull the hot pipe to check the EGR cooler for leaks.
Is it a bad idea to get your engine washed at Blue Beacon?
only drivers that don't know nothing about diesel engines wash them!
Having a isx 15 egr leak ???
New sub, Hey I’m looking an ISX in a 2012 or so Volvo, they put a new radiator when I looked at it we ran it for about 15 to 20 minutes drove it around sounded great. shut the truck off, the coolant reservoir was either boiling or air was steadily being introduced even like five minutes after the engine was off????
What was the issue? Thanks
@@gavikpt1 it was the air compressor gone bad. Still $2500 from the thieves/shop
@@roz4747 that’s so bad. I had the same issue but after replacing injector cups problem gone now
@@gavikpt1 what was the bill for that job?
@@roz4747 around $1500 parts and labour
What was the actual problem with the truck that got inframed for no reason?
Excessive coolant pressure. He end up having a bad air compressor.
@@TATEXPRESSINC owner of that truck must have been pumped haha we all make mistakes i suppose.love the channel very underrated.
Thank a bunch for the support. We are going live on Sundays with Q&A
Thanks for.this informative video
Well, I see bubbles on my reservoir but I don't loose coolant, what that may be?
Did you find out what it was because mine is doing the same thing
Sorry to tell you but bubbles usually mean exhaust gases head gasket
Very good I love it
I need help. My coolant level is low every other day. When I take the cap off the coolant level rises a bit. At one point it was blowing out under the truck. That has stopped but now it whistling very loud. Can you help????
i need some assistance on diagnosing my problem! im losing coolant no visible leaks no high pressure but i found oil residue in the reservoir tank! one shop mention head gasket but my oil is clean no milky oil in the pan! another said for sure oil cooler but now im hearing EGR! im very confused any advise will be very appreciated !!!
Can you give us updates please
I need your help. I'm tired of spending money on my 2014 cascadia with isx cummins engine. I need to know hiw to clear codes on it when the check engine light comes on, engine shut down light, and warning engine light all shows up at the same time, and the truck goes into 5mph derate
Derrick, sorry to hear your having issues. Do you have the code read out?
Invest in a Cummins INLINE 6 reader, you can find them on eBay for around $250, the diagnostic software is included. Odds are you need an EGR tuneup, that is where I would start. When was the last time you changed out the sensors and cleaned the soot out of the intake side of the motor? You have two key sensors, your intake manifold pressure sensor and exhaust back pressure sensor, those should be replaced yearly.
Now, how about the DOC and DPF cans? When was the last time those were removed, baked and de-ashed? It sounds like your cans are face plugged, along with needing an EGR Tuneup. When was the last time you adjusted the valves too? The overhead? It sounds like the truck has not be maintained properly. Just my .02
@@TATEXPRESSINC sorry my phone has been acting up. I just had it repaired. I had to take a temporary job until i get my truck repaired. I had a technician come out and put a laptop on it, and discovered that the nox sensors had it in derate. I will change then out, and follow the advice of Michael Wright. Thanks guys. I definitely will keep you all informed.
@@michaelwright1602 Thanks for the very informative comments. I will definitely follow your advice. Currently, i had to jump on a temporary driving position to keep things going. I will be back on the cascadia every weekend until i get it fixed.
Why would any coolant come out of the AC drain tube located on passenger side firewall?? Please help!
It's not coming out the tube. The coolant reservoir overflow tube is right next to it so it's coming down the side.
Thank you you the best.
How did it get up to 330 degrees? Did his thermostat go out?
Leinad, we suspect operator lost coolant and got truck hot.
@@TATEXPRESSINC I’m having this issue on my international pro star but no milky oil... no white smoke coming out the back....
@@TATEXPRESSINC and it doesn’t run hot
Why is my Cummins isx leaking water thue the valve cover any idea of why???
Victor, I recommend pressurizing the coolant system to find source of the coolant leak. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe. 👍🏼🚚💪🏼
My truck is 2016 kenwoth is always lossing the coolent threw pressure cap I have new engine in 2021 but never gone coolent lose at all
Could a bad air compressor give high air pressure around 140 psi and at the same time high coolant pressure or do I have 2 different problems? 2015 dd15 help please
my 2015 cummins isx15 engine through a rod at 283k miles with no alerts on the dash at all and oil pressure read normal until i suddenly lost power on the highway...anyway now cummins is asking me why i ran the motor at 2750 rpm's for 30 seconds according to ecm ....of course my response was...i didnt the gauge only goes to 2500 rpm's and also the motor has a rev limiter...my question is....is it possible to run that motor at those rpm's?
Why didn’t you do the bottle test to RE confirm would have been the easiest way also aside from the other test that were done ???? Bubble in a bottle you already no bad head Curious ??
