Test Drive: MaxxForce 15 for the Big Hills
If the article is accurate, it appears the CT15 uses a CAT block, pan and crank.

As far as I understand (which could be way off lol) is the 13L was based on the MAN engine.

Looked up a MXS and BXS crankshaft. Both are the same part number. Sdp has a different part number however.
Intothesunset, Wheeljack and spsauerland Thank this. -
Brand new 6NZ reman from CAT. If you look at the block there is alot of extra ports and bolt holes. Its actually a SDP block. They must only make the one block now to use for everything.
Cummins does the same thing, the blocks now are for a 870-2350, possibly also x15. They come with a fitting kit that blocks off the unused coolant ports the 870 needed.Oxbow, Intothesunset, Wheeljack and 2 others Thank this. -
Interesting. I know those older blocks had extra ports for different arrangments. Even my old 92U 3406 has a few unused bolt holes and blanked off ports.

If you check the oil every service you can usually change the cooler before it shreds the scyncroOxbow, spsauerland, Intothesunset and 3 others Thank this. -
That's the truth. I bought a used pickup in my late teens and went straight up to Northern Alberta with it. A previous owner replaced the radiator with one that didn't have the transmission cooler in it. Just had a huge aux oil cooler behind the condensor. After -20 it wouldn't warm up enough to shift into OD or lock the converter clutch. At -35 I'd be stuck in 2nd. Even blocking off the radiator to the point the engine was overheating didn't help. Had to fork out $400 for the proper radiator to make it work lol.
