Isx15 smoking! Help

Why would you go drive for someone else? Where’s your reserve account for breakdowns ?

 

Trucks break down??

 

I applaud your honesty. Sometimes it takes things like this to change things financially towards the good. What changed my savings attitude was I had a Volvo that was in the shop what seemed to be every week!! I had it almost 3 years and it ran good for only 6 months. My next truck I learned to save big time!!!

Now about switching engines without getting into what would fit I would say a 6nz!!

 

You had a thread earlier this year with raw fuel leaking out the manifold, a leaking HP fuel pump, and a flaking camshaft with very low MPG. Did you ever get those issues taken care of?
Most any 3406E, C-15, or C15 can be built for 600 HP easily. The 5DS, 1MM 3406E and 7CZ C-16 could come 600 HP from the factory. With your financial restraints, do you really need a 600 HP motor?

 

Have to agree with you on this one

 

If you're already broke you can't afford yellow, and it's going to take a lot more than just a couple months to earn the money for a good rebuilt cat and have it put in. A good rebuilt we'll say 2ws could run you 40k by the time you get it in, you could go a little cheaper maybe and could easily spend more. I just had my 6TS e model out of framed by a friend, cost 20k with interstate mcbee parts and the good friend hourly rate.

 

Honestly, if you're having trouble paying to repair this, the last thing I'd be concerning myself with would be trying to build a performance Cat engine and then trying to swap it in.
