    69W900A, would that be too bold to ask about my CPL?

    It is: 8518

    What is it say about engine?
    Where that description can be found?
    What parts can be upgraded, if any?

    Thank you in advance

    So your going to tell me the new EGR signatures are old tech?

    They still run 620/2050 with the tighter emissions regulations.

    Granted, mine will be an early ecu, given its CPL puts it amontg the original ISX units.

    Seems to me you down under have "skipped" one generation of emissions.
    Did you get our 2002 EGR (870ECM, no-DPF, no-SCR) in 2008?
    Have you ever had our 2007 ECM871, EGR with DPF filter?
    What you are buying right now (for how long already?) looks like our 2010 EGR+DPF+SCR

    They currently do not have DPF's or SCR's on their trucks. They are one step behind us on the emisions. I will tell you this. The engine braking performance on an export 600+hp ISX was not as great as I would expect it to be. I guess that you all have complaints about that with the road trains?

    We are about to get the DPF range. SCR will come out next, as yet I have not heard of a introduction date for either, but i believe both to be imminent.


    Roadtrain guys are used to old tech gear, so im sure that the engine braking of the Signatures is appreciated, but remember this ;

    Nothing is going to pull those bohemoths up rapidly, most if not all of the RT guys drive accordingly.

    it is wherever yours is located.

    I havent persued them, as im not interested in owning one with all the BS emissions ####. One look at them on the dealer lot and i said no thanks.

    Good thing too as the heat rejection of egr motors is a major problem out here, where ambient temps are higher.
