    Now the only 15 liter for volvos now is the cummins X15. Efficency or Performance series. 400 to 605 hp. 1550 to 2050 torque. Extended service intervals, and smaller combined exhaust aftertreatment system.

    If i was running @80 000lbs max with a post '10 engine i would never buy a big block.
    I know a few O/O that run light with big blocks and they allways have emission issues combined with lower MPG.(the extra injector is working too much to get heat in the DPF)

    Yeah I'd say anything 08+ with DPF, needs steady heat to be happy

    In Europe Volvo is using the D13K and D16K.
    The only reason i can think off for Volvo not selling the D16K in the USA is limited sales combined with not being able to pass EPA14 with that engine as is.

    I am surprised nobody has mentioned yet the horror stories. This engine forced my buddy out of business, he went back to be a company driver, cause he could not keep up with the repairs.

    That's because there are none. The only complaint was turbos, injectors and cups. You read the turbo horror stories if you Google "volvo d16" but what I always point out is they stopped in 2009 when Holset (not Volvo) fixed Thier error.

    Cups and injectors have been and still are a issue on every model volvo engine.

    Anything else can usually be shown to be bad maintenance.

    Thank goodness they finally went to common rail! I'm interested in seeing how the new compound turbo works out.

    I was shocked to read that as well. Pretty much every diesel engine I've seen in the last 6 years has been common rail.
