    My guess is they don't give a #### and just want the truck out the door and headed to a dealer.

    Don’t know what you mean by “new sales falling”. PACCAR, Freightliner, Volvo and Mack have stopped taking orders for new trucks as they are sold out for 2019.....

    Not sure, but I think the negatives on this thread are not about the X15?

    New truck sales are slumping, pre order slots from dealers has been record #s but most are slot orders without a buyer.

    The dealer slots being reserved are a false balloon economy....

    November and December REAL sales have started the decline....

    36% decline in real sales (not slots) from October to Nov 18'

    November Numbers Signal Slowdown in Class 8 Truck Orders


    43% decline year to year December 2018 vs 2017 !!

    Class 8 Truck Orders Close 2018 with a Whimper


    Dealers have MASSIVELY over-reserved "build slots" as the Economy and Industry is rapidly sliding down.


    ... The early-mid 2018 Class 8 order boom came from a previously healthy , rapidly growing economy ....

    HOWEVER, the federal reserve has killed the growth with multiple interest rate hikes triggering a retraction that is gaining speed and a coming recession...

    This is exactly why Trump has been battling the Fed to stop their economic Warfare with the economy.

    Hang on, the 2019 slip is well underway.. And interest rates will keep climbing unless the Fed gets straightened out.


    Be forewarned... The coming recession from this balloon is going to be VERY ugly.

    A good time to buy dealer overstock if you're in the market though !

    .... Expect prices to start dropping around late Q2 2019 from massive oversaturation...

    Rates are already trending MUCH further south than usual for this time of year.




    .... Okay let's get back on the X15 Topic lol !!

    Not exactly what the articles say, but, yeah, let’s not derail the thread.

    Like I said love my 565/2050 X15 performance It pulls hard and I run it hard. Fuel mileage isn't great but it's in a 389 and I run 75 mph. I didn't buy it for milage so it's not an issue for me. I'm sure with a light foot I could do better. I'm around 4.5 to 5 mpg.

    I already replaced 2 Nox sensors the inlet and outlet box sensors on my 2011 Kenworth W900 isx15 and that’s 6 weeks after doing the recall that Cummins did and it’s now thrown another code and took it in today and looked at trading on a new 2019 International LT with performance Cummins 565 with 46 rears heavy haul.
    Thanks for the great info on this new Cummins motor.
