    Hello, I just thought to hear y’all inputs on the x15 engines. I’m looking into a 2022 Kenworth t680 with a x15 Cummins in it the new gen (not the performance or anniversary just regular x15)

    was wondering what your guys experience has been with these newer x15s Cummins? Been hearing they break down a lot and some people say they don’t etc. Please let me know what to expect out of them maintace wise are they reliable? thank you

    They are more reliable than the Detroit but harder to work on. It’s always a roll of the dice. How many miles? Did you run an oil analysis? Maintenance records? Probably was bought new during the boom and the new owner has since gone broke so good chance he neglected maintenance but who knows.

    I've been more impressed with the mx13 in the past year then I've been with all 3 combined In the last 20 years.

    Really? How so? I’m basically hearing mixed plus and minuses about these x15s just like any other engines

    Other then a fuel pump

    It's had zero motor issues so far.
    Can't say that about the others.

    I’m a big fan of the x15. Might see some exhaust manifold leaks but that’s about the extent of the problems I’ve seen.
     
    Siinman and Ruthless Thank this.

    My '19 was flawless. The 2014 just started having injector issues -- but they supposedly have extended the warranty period on the injectors. Apparently a pretty common problem from 20-24.
     
    Siinman Thanks this.

    I second this. I ran a T680 next gen day cab with the MX11 and while it was a smaller engine, I had few problems with it aside from the obvious being the lack of power.
