Greetings from Ignition King. This
is the Heavy Duty Truck ECM page. As most of us
involved in the Trucking industry are now aware, the
presence of electronic controls is essential to the
proper operation of the newest Diesel engines on the
market. Whether you know this fact or not, it is
important to know that there are certain components in
just about all ECMs (Engine Control Module), that have a
definite life span and will be prone to failure after a
certain period of use. Recently we have noticed a trend
in the need to upgrade and repair the ECMs on Cummins
products such as the N-14, M11, and L-10 engines. The
Caterpillar and Mack ECMs of the same years are also
beginning to show a similar trend in failure. The year
range for these units is 1991-1996 so far. Some of the
symptoms for ECM failure are:
- Check Engine Light on
- Poor performance even though injectors test good
- Engine stalling after a period of running
- No ECM communication,
- Multiple failure codes or even all of the above.
The easiest solution is to get one
from the Junk yard or Dealer, right? Well here is the
problem, since the junk yard unit is already used, and
in un-repaired condition, the chances of repeat failure
in the near future are pretty good, plus you may not
even receive a unit with the same governor rating or
other important program information. The price is
usually pretty high also with not much of a guarantee.
The second option is to buy a replacement unit from the
dealer. The price alone is scary. I've heard of units as
high as 2500.00 plus for a replacement N-14 ECM. The Cat
unit is even pricier at 2700.00 a pop. The Mack has two
controllers which are as equally pricey. Looks like the
Factory Guys have us by the Ying-Yang again, doesn't it?
Well maybe not. Ignition King now offers a
remanufactured ECM for much less. In many cases we can
repair the unit for about Half Price of a new one. We
also can repair and return in 1 to 2 days. Because we
understand that time down is lost income we can at times
even offer a loaner ECM while your unit is being
repaired thus keeping your rig on the road where it
belongs earning you a living. At Ignition king we even
have our own TEST Truck in which we install repaired
units to insure that you receive the best performance
from the ECM that is being sent. All ECMs receive
vigorous testing and come with a one year guarantee
limited to the ECM components and workmanship. At
IGNITION KING we take pride in the fact that we have
been in the transportation industry for 24 years and are
at the forefront of the ECM repair market. Give us a
chance to prove that we are the professionals that we
say we are.
Ignition King is American owned and operated and
proud to serve the Heavy Duty Truck Industry.
