Isx-475 running rough
Has it been running rough sense you got it back or did it start sometime after you got it back ?
Sounds like a bad metering or timing actuator (possibly?) If the engine runs on after it is shout off it could possibly be an injector check ball not seating = you will need a new injector to fix that. Was this "Rebuild" done at a Cummings dealer OR distributor ?? === eather way you should take it back and have that Tec. check it out.
