    The Series 60 was the first production engine with an ECM.... maybe 1988?

    I am pretty sure that '95 was the year that Cummins started using ECM's on the N-14. Could be '94. I know that all the '95 KW's bought by the carrier I was with at the time, came with ECM controlled Cummins N-14's. All of the previous trucks they had were mechanical engines. I never really had an issue with it. Some technology is better. It is the emissions junk I have had a problem with.
