The EGRC that was in your truck was more than likely aluminum-finned. Cummins updated it to a stainless steel version.
Any T680 Owners? Would love some feedback.

Not necessary. Make oil analisys every 10,000 and you will see.
Oram Thanks this. -
"I read a report from Scheneider. They are testing constantly all available trucks and engines. What they said about DD15 vs. ISX: The fuel economy difference is insignificant, to maintain the Detroit is a little cheaper, the Cummins last a little longer. That is it."
Oram, Where did you read that report ? Any Link ?? I would like to read that. I think that is the best source of actual MPG.
Thanks. -

Hi truckers, after 3 years city driving and 7 years night shifts, switches between Mtl and Toronto and last year and half doing road-trains, I finally decided to become Owner/Operator,
main reasons, tired off this small pay checkes and second reason my wife is driver too so it's much better for us. For the last 2-3 weeks doing research on different trucks, Volvo, Fl an KW, in the beginig was thinking Volvo, then FL, now thinking KW T680... Thank's to your Thread and your advices and experiences.
Went today for second time in last 2 weeks to KW dealer but this time to see and try the truck. Its been 10 years from the last KW that i was driving for Parmalat. Looks good, feels great. I ask sales man why people choosing ixs instead paccar motor, he reply that its actualy oposit, 85% choose Paccar motor and automatic he told me, saying that people this days dont really know much about Paccar mottor, its not as before. I also heard that since Cuminns motor started to be bild in china its not the same quality and hade more issues lately..
I still have to do more research on diferent company's and they rates couse Im really new in long haul and owner operator thing. So got to understand were better to work and were to drive + what the diference between Company's, some pay pay for that, some for this...this kind of stuff...
Thank you guys for your advices in hear. -
The mx13 is a great engine in my opinion it pulls way better than I expected it too. However if you're running teams I think the 680 is a but snug for two people. -

That's why i have to learn in the next couple of month about all those things, Truck's, Company's, different rates and different conditions that company's offer.
