Some drives refer the Cummins as a "Cumapart".....
Never had a problem with mine...it's in my T8 dump. I wish I could put it in my Pete but the Pete's harnessed for the Detroit.....
Have you had it dynoed???? -
Not dynoed,,, been thinking of having it blowby tested though,,, i love my 475 isx except for shifting its just not like a cat.
Im just not familiar with this model of engine,,, and like every one, cummins has had some not as good ones. -
The N14 was the best engine Cummins has ever put out. It was one of the first that consistently made it over a million miles without overhauling it....hence the nickname the million mile engine. They do like to blow head gaskets though :/ and the celect injectors aren't worth a ####....other than that, you can't get any better.

96 n-14 525 a celect then?
-
I can tell you that a tired 500 CAT (over 800,000 miles) will out pull a fresh over hauled 525 N-14.
Or that was my experience with the two trucks. -
CArap! now im not sure i wan it
-
I will tell you my tired old n-14 would out pull a 525 cat bridge motor, and wasn't very far behind a 550 cat. There is nothing to be afraid of with a n-14, the injectors are junk with cat and cummins alike. How many miles are on the engine, , alot of people are scared of the amount of oil psi, but it is a high volume low pressure system, it flows plenty. Also it should out mpg a cat driven the same way, I know mine always has. As long as its had good maint. done on it it should last as long as any other engine
-
if the miles are over 600,000, just make sure the heads the injectors, and the injector cups have been done. you wont have a problem going over a million miles with this motor, and contrary to what is written above will outdo any cat motor, 3406, or c series any day of the week
-
Only if my B model Cat was set at stock!
But then your compairing apples to oranges.
My uncle has 2 n14's and likes them alot better than the Cat he had.
