It's in an '05 Peter 379X. C15 prefix of MXS with VVA. I've read several threads here about the C15's many configurations that are always referred to by the prefix. I also recall one of them being referred to as a "bridge" model C15, though I doubt the MXS is that.
So what do I have here? A good model with some of the bugs worked out of the ACERT, or better yet, maybe prior to the intake valve thing? Was told current setting is 550hp.
Truck has been ran.1.9 mill so far. Has never had a major, but has had rod and main bearings and every year the usual overhead and inspection. Says it burns a gallon every 10k. Blow by is virtually non-existant. The rest of this trucks life will be mainly bobtail or a small gooseneck rv.
Just looking for any info you care to share as to what "normal" issues come up, or,....the good things about it would be nice to hear too.
Thanks.
I have a Cat C15 serial prefix of MXS. What C15 do I have?

MXS is an Acert.
MBN is the bridge engine.
6NZ is one of the best.
SDP are junk. -
Where does the BXS engine prefix fall into this mix.. MXS,MBN,6NZ,SPD.
-
Not entirely sure. 6NZ was the earliest of the group I listed, followed by MBN. SDP was the last (newest) one IIRC.
