We have 2 with over 80,000 miles and they have been outstanding. We have 2 with about 15,000 miles each and 3 more coming soon. We have really been impressed with the power this engine puts out even at 455/1550. The fuel economy has been about 5% higher than the Series60s and ISX. I was a bit skeptical at first with all the new technology on the engine...the turbocompounding system, the common rail fuel system, and the Cascadia. Overall, they have all worked out very well.

I would not hesitate to recommend the engine from what I've experienced so far. We have had good success with both the ISX and Series 60 with EPA'07 hardware.

Crossing our fingers but DD15 looks very good so far

I can tell you the EGR has been cut waaay back on the DD15. The EGR is by far the worst thing that happend to the 60 series.
