I am looking at a truck that is an 03 KW with an ISX 530, Is this a good motor? I would really like to hear from folks who have run one. Truck has 830K on it.
School me: 2003 Cummins ISX 530!

My brother ust have a ISx 530 hp in a 2003 kw he loved it
-
At 830k my main concern would be how well its been maintained.
-
Although I am considering getting a 6NZ 3406E and rebuilding it and sticking it in there. -
Why not buy a truck with a cat already in it, I think that will be more work than you want to tackle right off the bat. Just my 2 cents.
-
Thumbing through truckpaper.com it seems like EVERY truck I've seen prior to 2003 with an ISX motor has had the whole motor replaced...maybe you'll 'luck' out with that one as well.
-
well it is a non issue now because the truck sold, and I found on with a 6NZ that I am really liking, it has a 10 speed, but I can fix that in a weekend as soon as I can get my hands on a 18.
