That rear ratio scares me.......... But modern times I guess. Tks for the info!
P.S. I have a few new Mack's working with me , and the guys seem to like them. Both the titian and the CH 613 (I think) that's what they used to call it anyway...no m drives tho....

When the salesman said 3:21 rears I said that's for hauling doritos not oil. But I promise you with the torque and tranny gear ratios and the programming these things have it pulls the hills great. As I said I stay right with my friend in his star with 600 ponies and he had 3:90.

I have a friend in Ga that has a new Mack CHU613 with the Mdrive 505 HP and likes it real well. Says it pulls great he says. He was a KW man for over 20 years. Guess times are changing.

Do you know what the weight of your tractor. Trying to get a sense of how much the D16 adds to the truck weight.

Good question I'm sure Destin will answer

I'm not 100% but I believe it's right around 10,000kg so she's a tank. But mine is not good to judge, you'll wanna hit up a dealership. My truck is heavy spec and has alot of extra steel on her for my oil hauling.

So what problems did the isx have besides egr valve and trans cooler cause that's the only problem my isx had 2010 pete going on 5 years now and will outpull detriot and volvo motors.

Their big issue is emissions. Not every single one is a lemon or going to have issue after issue but enough of them are that it's a big gamble. I'm not bias by any means. My favorite engines a n14 celect plus, my dream truck is a w900. I own a international, a freightliner, and a volvo which is my first.
But when I decided to buy my truck I spent alot of time learning and researching ever option. I tested every single truck and when I made my decision it was the best one for what I need it for. If I would have been solely infield I would have gotten the star but I'm highway and I personally don't like the cramped cabs of Petes or kw seeing as I live in it.
At the end of the day I am only one man with one opinion but I bet you will find more guys who tell you that 1: the isx is the worst engine cummins ever built and 2: they tanked with the emissions.
Glad to hear yours had no issues, whenever you sell it the warranty paperwork can be a selling feature as it won't show much.fencitup Thanks this. -

We have 2 '13 T800s with ISX 600/2050 motors(2010 versions). Knock on wood we haven't had any problems. Pull really good. Get about 4 mpg in summer and 3 in winter. We haul around 165,000 lbs to 170,000 lbs.
