Advice for Cummins isx

Right on. If you still had a DPF you’d already be in the shop getting rebuilt. Good luck with it. It’s about 28k at Cummins factory shop.

 

The X15’s have been no trouble at all on emissions, but yeah the ISX is a different story. I still have that truck with emissions on it but planning to offload it in the spring.

 

At $30k you can throw in fully rebuilt 6nz or 2ws including labor , tune and aftermarket manifold and turbo

 

...and your truck automatically will gain market value !

 

I would purchase the used engine if you can get it for a good price.

 

How many miles on your X15 if you don't mind me asking. Looking at a new KW with one that is spec'd well for what I do, just a little leery of it. Cant bring myself to pay stupid money for used gliders right now, especially when I see so many with overhauls at 400k-500k miles and not just Detroits.

 

I have X15’s ranging from 20k miles up to 260k miles. 7 of them right now. None have saw a shop other then to change oil. I thought maybe I just had good luck with the first one, but so far so good.

The are the efficiency model but I would t think that makes much difference. If you buy a used one, look into Cummins 2nd owner warrant. It’s called Encore XT1.

Correction: I did have a coolant line fitting break that was plastic. Had to upgrade to brass.
