Stopped in at the shop to discuss an intermittent “Check Engine” light. They tossed the computer at it and determined that the problem is a bad EGR valve and directed me to theCummins dealer in Boise. Grabbed new trailer (conflicting directions, but I think they want it delivered in Kent, WA) and headed out.
Checked in at Cummins. They say should take about 3 hours, so I can deliver my load in time.
After 4 or 5 hours, it's been determined by Cummins that it's not the EGR valve, but, rather, a series of relatively serious oil leaks.. from the head, the oil pan, and from the front cover. It's after hours, and breakdown says they can't authorize the expense – they'll have to run it up the chain. I'm to spend a night in a motel.
Fortunately, another driver with truck problems lives in the area and offered me a ride to/from a nearby Super 8.

When it comes to an EGR Delete kit, there are a few things you want them to be. Here you can read all about them to know if you are getting the right things you need. There are many of these sold.
