Hyster Fortis cummins engines

I was just wondering if anyone has had engine problems with the Hyster fortis models with the cummins engines. I know Hyster now has an upgrade with the air cleaner to where you can add an inner filter. That is the only upgrade I know at this time, if anyone has any more info or advice please let me know.

Thanks,
Brad

The model is an H80FT, which I believe would be a 4ton with the 4cyl cummins engine. I have been hearing that there has been several engine problems in dusty conditions, which is why hyster came out with the filter upgrade kit which comes with an inner filter. So i would reccomend getting the filter upgrade kits for your cummins models. One of the Hyster dealers I have been speaking with has had atleast 7 trucks come back with engine failure.
Thanks for the reply mate.
