What Next?

I would stay away from the newer CAT engines, but thats just me. What engine you choose is up to you when your payin the bills. My wife used to work for Cummins at the plant in Columbus Indiana as a fuel systems engineer, she told me that Cummins has a leg up on the other engine companies with regard to emissions compliance. For what its worth when I bought my truck in 06 I went with the D-16 Volvo and have not been dissapppointed with reliability, power or fuel mileage. If I were buying a fleet of trucks I would go with the ISX Cummins 475 hp.

 

I have no problems finding parts. I have all of my engine work done at authorized Volvo dealer/shops. Sometimes they need to order a part but thats the way it goes sometimes. I try to have all of my work done while unloaded because I anticipate delays. Knock on wood, this truck has never left me stranded on the side of the road.
