Agree with pretty much everything you posted, except that my ISX rocked when it came to fuel mileage and power. I had a 550 6nz that would barely keep ahead of the ISX on an identical pull, and fuel milage outta both of them was really similar. That said, I do believe that that motor was assembled in a CAT shop.
After a full career of serving my country, I'm buying a truck!

I've passed multiple Detroit powered trucks pulling identical loads up hills with my 550 cummins. I'm averaging about 50L/100km right now pulling trains. My 4:30 gearing doesn't help... Now how about those max force motors! Lol

I know a couple guys running north south BC with the DD16, and they love them. No issues. Another guy with a new ISX15 and no issues. Maybe the companies are getting it right?

I just did a trip to Hinton and back with a set of B Train end dumps. Tractor was a 2013 Coranado with a DD15 @505hp. I had no problems at all on the power end.
