New International A26 12.4L Engine

Thanks, the rpm needs to be down closer to 1200. Will need 3.08 or 2.93.....

 

I drive one of these pieces of ####. I have just over 126,000 miles on mine. At 100,000 miles i needed a new wiring harness. Now at 126,000 miles a new head. Same name 13 letter #### spreader same junk. I WOULD NOT waste my money on one of these. Thank god it is a company truck.

 

Mine has been great. I’m annoyed, but a DEF tank sensor is not that big of a deal.

 

I’ve been driving this truck (automatic) for 2 months now. I don’t have any major complaints... I run Midwest and it’s pretty smooth ride BUT if I’m pulling 35,000+ (maybe even 30,000?) the truck seems to be struggling. Is that normal?

 

Is it yours or a company truck. A lot of these fleets turn down the power. I am almost always 70k and higher gross and don’t have an issue.

 

Ohh I didn’t know. It’s company truck. Thank you

 

I have a 410hp 1450/1650 dual torque and it does great. Fleets will sometimes limit the torque to get better fuel mileage or protect drivelines. When you cut back the power you actually decrease fuel mileage. They should focus instead on proper use of power and everyone would be happier.

 

I might be going 65 but once I hit a hill on highway ( remember we are talking Illinois and Wisconsin) it will slow down to 50-55.
It drives really well otherwise. A lot of people complain about it ( International RH) but it’s good truck I think .

 

The A26 has ratings from 365hp up to 475 for highway applications and 1250-1750 torque. That might have a low hp setup. It is most likely not the A26 itself, but whatever rating they chose to go with. If you are able to get the boost gauge to show up in your dash cluster that would help. If I knew how much boost you could make on a hard pull, that would tell me the horse power.
