OK get out the popcorn lol. So I know no one likes Lone Mountain. If that is the only way I can go I have a few questions. They have 2019 international LT625 with ISX 15. Only 400 hp and no idea on torque. 300k + miles. It seems like it's in great shape. So if I want more power and torque can I beef it up or will the transmission not take it? How much more can I get? If not could I save up and drop a 565hp 1850tq in it? Or should I just wait until it doesn't go anymore and buy something new. Just thinking about not having payments.

what transmission does it have??
and it's possible it could be reprogrammed for higher HP but it depends on the CPL#. that tells what parts the engine has in it. some are low HP and some are higher -
you really don't know how to buy a truck?
You first figure out what the ECM is setup as, have a full dump done on the ECM and talk to the cummins dealer with the serial number of the engine which you will get when you go to the international dealer with the VIN and ask for the original order printed out - this will give you the part numbers of the engine, trans, rear axles. You can also determine if the trans will handle it, most likely it will with no problem. -

Does LM still have a notice under fiberglass resin on the drivers side inner fender.
I saw one at the fuel lanes a few years ago.

Get the vin, and call International, and get the engine serial number. Call Cummins, they should be able to tell you everything you want to know.Last edited: Feb 21, 2024
Lonesome, Bean Jr., Rideandrepair and 2 others Thank this. -
If you want anything over 550, that transmission had better read 20918B minimum. 475-550HP, you can get away with an 1850. Besides, that 400HP setup probably has a low torque transmission and 38k axles. Grenade.
“But Six, I know a guy that ran a ______with a _____ and a ______ and he did just fine.”
I was that guy. Grenade, grenade, grenade and grenade. Ran just fine…until it grenaded. So what are you really saving? Absolutely nothing. The primary reason I bought the truck was because it had a 2WS engine, had the sleeper I wanted and set up to run in northern Canada. If you don’t any specialized plans and just want a rig that performs strong and gets decent economy, buy a truck with the factory setup for a 515 Detroit and put all your money back for maintenance. -
Are you sure it’s an ISX and not an X-15? Our 2019 International LT trucks all came with the X-15.
