When did Cummins come out with the N14 engine?

First designed in the late 1980s it was sent into full production in 1991. The N14 engine is the follow up to the vastly popular Cummins 855 Big Cam which was produced 1976-1985. Cummins listened to it customers and designed a more powerful version of the 855 while maintaining a similar profile and bore/stroke architecture.

How often should the oil filter be replaced on a Cummins N14?

It is recommended that the oil filter, fuel filter and coolant filters all be replaced every 11,500 miles. The N-14 does not do well with cheaper filters that don’t further remove particulate matter.

Why is my Cummins N14 CELECT Plus not grounded?

A common occurrence will happen when, for example, when the ECM shows a 111 or 343 code in an N-14 Celect Plus model. This means the ECM isn’t grounded to the injector. Usually this starts out with only 1 injector shown to be malfunctioning but can quickly spread to others.

Are there any problems with the Cummins N14 ECM?

Usually if you unplug # 1, 2, 3, or 4 injector drivers in time you can save the ECM/injectors. The wiring harnesses are known to have problems and are very expensive to replace. Another issue with the N14 ECM is a faulty fuel solenoid. The solenoid is situated on the bottom of the ECM.

When did Cummins start using the N14 CELECT Plus?

Albeit the injectors are still cam actuated the ECM controls the metered flow of fuel to the injectors. In 1997 Cummins introduced the N14 Celect Plus which further fine-tuned the ECM to control many more custom parameters of the fuel system. In addition of an ECM the N14 was designed for emissions purposes to consume much less oil.
