The soot that doesn't fall to the ground goes into your lungs. Bad stuff. Particulate matter regulation is good for us. NOx is an...
we had our first 2 geared wrong. We were running 1550 rpm at 65mph. Our last 2 have us at 1425 rpm at 65 mph. Big difference in mpg. These new...
You folks that haven't tried the new Detroit Diesels need to try them out. Our fleet is running a mixture of ISX, Series60, and Detroit Diesel...
We've had our new Detroit DD15 running for over a year now. All I can say is wow. What a great engine. The fuel economy is way better than...
We ran several in our fleet. They were fuel efficient motors and pulled surprisingly well. They get very tired once they pass 500,000 miles. So...
That's the beauty of the Detroit Diesels we're buying today. They still have the independent DDC Distributor network to support the engines...but...
LOL. 2 of the biggest mistakes ever in trucking are the T2000 and Pete 387. Total flops....and both Paccar. Just ask any Paccar executive and...
I was there and saw the truck. Wow. Beautiful. I'm sorry I didn't come over to introduce myself. Beautiful ride.
ACERT was a complete disaster. Period. Cat took the risky strategy of going away from EGR when the rest of the world was with EGR. ACERT...
I checked with Pilot and confirmed they will be doing this. The DEF tanks will be located on the outermost fuel islands and will be self...
we have run both of those (more Cummins)...but a Detroit Diesel is definitely worth considering for all around fuel economy, reliability, and cost...
I think Navistar's decision to add a 15 liter means the MaxxForce13 is not going to work out as they had hoped. It simply doesn't have the...
We checked into it. Highly misleading. It's at least 5 years away...and even then it won't work for high horsepower engines. It may work for...
This is a great thread. Here is what I have found out for our fleet: 1. Using LSD fuel in an EPA'07 engine won't hurt the engine but it could...
that would be an interesting approach...except that the price of everything we buy would go through the roof. Let's face it, Americans' standard...
good luck on that....3 mpg really hurts when you're paying over $4 for diesel. At least it's down close to $2 I have noticed that my engine...
Schneider has over 1,000 DD15s on order for 2009. I guess they like them after all. Our fleet maintenance director knows a SNI terminal director...
where did you get that information ? Daimler builds over 90% of its trucks for North America in the USA....North Carolina and Oregon to be...
From what we can tell, the DD15 is a more powerful and more responsive engine than the ISX rated at 450/1550. Besides, DD15 is rated up to 560HP...
