In truth I prefer a w9.... But I don't like my local dealer. Was less than impressed with my first truck from there, so I'm in no hurry to spend money there again. Pete makes a nice truck too.

Cummins has the name and that’s about it. The new A26 from Navistar, the Mack/Volvo motors, and the DD series motors from Freightliner are what I’d be looking at, in that order. I love my LT with the A26 but I have a soft spot in my heart for Volvo when I was a company driver.
Paccar, KW and Peterbilt, can burn for all I care. I did not have a good experience with them.KB3MMX Thanks this. -
Cummins is involved, and pushing the buck off on International. International is pushing the buck off on Cummins, neither of them wanna pay for ####. The truck has several other issues besides the motor, everything happened in is a period of about 4 days; with blowing the motor being the grand finale.
I agree on the Volvo, love them, too much money. I also agree on Paccar, seem them screw to many guys on T680's with MX13's or 587/579's with either Cummins or MX power, just junk. The 579 is pretty much my favorite truck, but again, the pricing how I want it, is more than a Volvo. As I said above, Cascadia or WS 5700 w/DD15 or go home. -
Is everyone having trouble with the X-15 efficiency ....?
There’s no way I’d get a Mx .....kinda puts a hurt on a Paccar productTrucker61016 and KB3MMX Thank this. -
So in my book, the X15E is a nightmare, just like the Maxxforce, ISX and Paccar. -
Trucker61016 and KB3MMX Thank this.

They just did a software update on it yesterday and I’ve already seen a big difference. I ran a load from Noel, MO to Minneapolis area where I’m at now, 54k gross, 11 MPG.

I drive a 2018 W9 day cab with the 500 hp, pretty much the same set up as Bighosscummins. We got it in January and I have just over 8,000 miles on her so far. The only problem so far is that it makes an annoying sound when idling, kinda hard to explain, but it sounds like an injured duck or a really faint fog horn noise. Is anyone else getting this? Sounds like it’s coming from under the dash. We asked our Kenworth dealer and they said they get that complaint all the time that it’s normal, doesn’t seem normal to me.
