masterwelder Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Looking at a CH613. Has the 460 in it. How was that engine? Is it still a E7 block? I know it has a egr, and cooler and it seams that was a potential problem. I know to stay away from the 03-04 engines but were things worked out by 06?

Dieselwrenches Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 It is basically similar to e7 but yes egr system on that truck can be problematic. Not to mention the difficulty it adds to owners for doing their own repairs.

bbigrig Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Same basic engine as the E-Tech (98-2003) engine. They added and EGR valve, EGR cooler, more sensors, vane turbo, bigger cooling system and more hassles. They really didn't work out many issues until it was replaced with newer issues in the MP series of engines.

masterwelder Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thanks for the info. I have heard of trouble with the egr and cooler. Truck only has 225k on it. Low milage makes me nervous.
