    no both are a 70 pin ecm style plugs. just some of the pins maybe in a different location on the chassis plug. now a bxs 70 pin ecm is different than a mbn with what files they will take. a mxs and nxs ecm is what they call a 120 pin ecm. but a different breed.but same plugs. oh and you cant use a mxs ecm on a mbn for obvious reasons.

    One item I forgot to mention.
    I replaced my wire harness from firewall to motor side. Old one very ragged and a lot of shorts I had fixed.
    Talk about sticker shock (thanks PACCAR)
    $1,300

    Down side I lost:
    Engine Oil Temp
    Main Trans Oil Temp

    the new harness does not have the wire leads at all....

    I was told the new Peterbilts don't have those gauges and that's why!!

    IS THIS TRUE??

    In regards to Jake Brake.
    My new MXS "JB" works ten times better than my old BXS.
    I also like the back pressure from the "turbos" when "JB" engaged. Again BXS did not do that ...

    Russtrucker.... The ECM plugs are different on the engine side between a mbn and mxs....the truck chassis side are the same.....

    That's what I was worried about the ecm plug. I found a wrecked 06 379 triaxle with just a c-15 (mxs i think) and the dump bed at auction. I want to do a temporary engine swap on my t600 and have time rebuilding my mbn.

    if I understand you. you want to put the mxs in your t600. it will work like rob and I said the chassis plugs are the same. just may have to switch a pin or two in the plug or you might not but it will plug up.

    Mxs will be fine shouldn't require any pin swaps. Pins 11 and 21 are required on SDP swap.

    there ya go. check the bellhousing to see if where the motor mounts bolt on are the same. on a kw there at an angle where the mounts bolt. I think the pete maybe straight up and down. if so just swap the engine bellhousings.

    Yep he is right on that the Peterbilt are straight up and down.
    I had to do the same thing for mine sent the motor came out of a western star.
