Then you right about Peterbilt being "smarter'. They designed 387 quite few years after T2 was built and learned from it. 387 is better, improved...
1. There are ONLY FEW MINOR similiarities. Bare cab shell, glass, mirrors, door (maybe just on the outside), maybe both sleeper side panels,...
387 is not the same truck as T2 although its common believe shared by people who dont know $it about trucks :biggrin_25516: lol
I'm not a fun of T2, especialy after driving it lately, however bull bars improving it looks like no other truck. The weird stock bumper is the...
Fan belt can be source of rattle. Dirty, oily or just old, worn out. I have replaced belt tensioner, which helped some, new belt and clean...

I think I see your point now. It seems you have been driving used trucks locally/regionally. Judging by fallen exhaust remark - some of them were...
Thats right, after 10 years production without pretty much ANY visual changes in or out 387 could use some simple fixes for sure. I think they...

Did you ever have a chance to check ISX565 with EGR disconnected/closed ?
I hear ya, Im in the shop right now for gear cover gasket leak, Something what should be done under warranty loong time ago. But I have screw it...
Welding valve and disconnecting it from internal mechanism would allow for not having fumes and fooling ECM into thinking, it actually works,...
Seems to me, ECM is able to figure out engine power output. I have noticed, after closing the EGR (ECM knows its closed very well, its actually...
I have never paid attention to that, I think that instant mpg is fluctuating too much to be really helpful. But you might be right, especially...
I'm not saying I would recommend buying old truck either, thats extremely risky. But 2006 ISX with low miles 200, 300k miles at real low price......
Interestingly, Cummins claims that its RoadRelay works with ANY other engine. I dont think its any cheaper though, just sayin......
You dont see one-million milers ISX-es, because it takes quite few years to accomplish. EGRed ones were introduced just about 6 years ago. You...
