    I've started running the Indiana and ohio toll roads more , easier on the truck and fuel and since the tune up no more def purchases..
    Truck hasn't seen the shop for anything more than normal wear and tear and maintenance since , and if I dont start spending some more money on deductibles I'm just going to give what I saved to uncle sugar next year anyway ....already dedicated the overhaul and apu for 2019 so it's time to spend now .

    Unfortunately another good friend of mine with a 2016 kw 680 with Cummins power approaching the 500k mark is starting down the road mine did a year and a half ago ...cant keep it out of the shop for emissions issues ..not a Morehouse truck and extremely well maintained but goes a month at time on 1000.00 repairs
    It's going in for a tune up next week after limped home from KC mo .
    Unbelievable the junk engine builders throw together these days !
    I dropped the oil in mine at 17k that was still clear and clean and went to synthetic 10/30 , no consumption and clear as day at 5000 miles.

    Without that I think the X-15 could be a great engine.

    I think you are absolutely right ! And the way mine runs now on top of how clean it runs I could see it easily being a million mile engine .
