Sources for Cummins ISX info?

If you're talking about the site that starts with "R", that guy is irritating AF. Man, does he love to hear himself talk.

 

Quickserve is the technical go to for Cummins. Had access to Cummins training when did short stint with leasing company and it seemed like decent online training.
The other site is his site, so his site/his rules. It's mostly based members opinions. Seems like if you don't agree that a POS Prostar with a CM871 is greatest combo ever, it's not the place for you to contribute freely. Personally I feel a Big Cam was way more reliable than the ISX.
If you are looking for tuning info, his is spot on IMHO. I read the whole MM document years ago and agree with most all of it. It doesn't mean he is the only person capable of tuning, but he is the only one I have seen that openly shares his strategy and can point out others mistakes. I have also read some very good tuning articles written by others, so there is more than one expert out there but they didn't focus on the X platform.
Personally, I just read from multiple sources and follow the logic that makes most sense to me. I am not much of a fan of trying to turn a EGR engine into pre-EGR one. I feel you just trade one problem for another. My opinion that if you want reliable HP in a hood, just put a yellow one under the hood.

 

Would you say the same about a 12.7? I'd do a Cat in a pinch, but I really want a Detroit. Curious what your opinion is.

 

If going Detroit route, I would suggest the 14L DDEC4. @swaan ran one for awhile and spoke highly of it. O/O I help out now and again runs a 12.7L in a 2000 T800. He had it tuned and really thought it was a strong motor. He recently bought a 99 379 with a 2WS Cat that has the 7CZ BS 600 flash in it. I don't see him driving the KW or bragging about a Detroit anymore.

 

I ran a 1lw e model for 20 years in an old international. At the end truck had over 2 million miles and needed literally everything. It basically paid for just about every bad decision I ever made in my life and kept me going through many tough times. Decided to step into 21st century and bought a 13 kw with cm2250. Made it a year before it made sense to do some local research and found a shop to "fix" it for me. Thank God I had equity in a trailer to borrow against for motor. I absolutely love the newer truck and truly enjoy driving it however I don't trust the red motor any farther than I could throw it. So far so good it's been another year but moving forward to me it is a bit terrifying at the lack of good options that will exist in the future. I feel there are many single truck owners in similar situations just not sure of the solution outside of buy new and trade often. Never been my business model and I'm not amused at the idea whatsoever. Perhaps I expect too high a rate of return on my truck investment but it used to work great.I have really started to feel like one of those "old" guys longing for the good old days. .

 

I know of 2 trucks that where tuned by his best tuner that have swapped to yellow iron after the red iron failed from things that the tuning was done to prevent.

 

I want the '93. You'll take payments, right?
