are the new big cummins or detriot living

No , they sell CAT trucks with CAT engines

 

Nor for very long I've heard. They are having troubles like always.

 

Here (USA) the cat branded trucks , made by international, has international engines in them . Which international can not get right . So next year , you buy a cat truck it may very well have a Cummings engine under the hood ! As much as they have fought over market share over t
he last 40 years !

 

I.e prostar with cheapass Transtar interior.

Ct610 (Transtar) now runs mf13 470/1700ft

cat seem to be very quiet, never hear anything about it. All promos are about prostar ct630

 

I would like to know the same. Sounds like the DD16 is a great motor but I have yet to hear from somebody that has some wheel time with one....

 

The good thing about the DD15 & 16 is they have been designed from the ground up to work with the new emissions systems. Cummins engines have been giving all the O/O around here fits. The Cummins has more less been retrofitted to "work" with the new emissions standards. Detroit spent lots of money in development on these engines.

 

Please delete, double post

 

Boral the company I sub contract to bought a heap of new western stars with dd13 and dd15 Detroits. They love the trucks, but are having a shocking run with the detroits. 2 trucks have split heads, one has been rebuilt twice in 150000km and another at 120000km. Quite a few of them are missing really bad and they can't figure it out. A new ecu fixed it on one truck but none of the others. Havnt herd of any dpf problems yet. This is just the trucks based in Brisbane, don't know how many problems they are having elsewhere.

 

Rebuild your cat drop it a new kw glider kw started selling gliders last year. Seen too many probs with both the isx and dd series know of 3 dds that didn't even make 200 miles first trip out.
