X-15 Cummins thread

I gotta believe a company like Cummins can build a motor that's reliable and long lasting. The problems in the industry in recent years mostly revolve around after treatment systems.
The industry has come a long way and with Cummins using a single canister system in their 3rd model year, is very encouraging. Simplicity breeds reliability and ease of service.

Just looking a the X15, you can see all the boxes and hoses that have been eliminated over the years.

 

^^^^^^ that’s kinda what I said about the sdp.

“They know how to build a motor”

 

Sorry. What is SDP?

 

This boat anchor.

 

S*** doesn't perform

 

Did you get your check from the class action suit..... that they stopped payment on....
Looks like mine cleared their bank , before they stopped payment.....

 

Had to gather up all the emails and paperwork when I had a sec, here are the main faults for each of the motors.

#1 36 780kms, Split EGR cooler, flooded crankcase with coolant, also blown head gasket. #2 69 450kms Broken Valve-train, Destroyed Camshaft, Metal Fragments in Oil and Crankcase #3 66 500kms. Turbo/Waste Gate Failure, Actuator Failure, Blown Head Gasket, Coolant in Oil. Replace Turbo/Waste Gate/Head-gasket. Second Turbo Failed on Dyno. (that's all i know about this one, was still at Cummins when I left the company).

 

And these were all economy ones not performance.....?

 

That is correct, 2018 International LT's, 500hp/1850T X15 Economy w/13 speed Ultrashift Plus.

 

Don’t see how any of those problems are due to international......

Sounds like Cummins , to me.
