Manual Motores Isx Cummins
Posted on by admin
Why kevin, dont you like ISX Motors? I listen to you kevin everyday. I love your show on Roaddog. I think you are really the best show on Sirius. I think I have heard you say that you prefer Detroit over the ISX? I love my ISX.
It is the best pulling engine I have ever driven. I have driven for 27 years. I think it out pulls the old Cat Mechanically motors too. I thought they were the best in the business until I drove a 500hp ISX a few years back. I was amazed at the torque it has. I drove all over the western states, and use to haul Copper out of the mines in AZ.
We pulled a lot of 7 to 10 percent grades and my first ISX motor was then. It was totally amaizing how it would out pull every othere truck or Motor on those hills. Our fleet was all 500hp ISX Motors,or Engines. Had one 600hp.
The trucks all had 336 rears, with 13 speed trans. Loaded we always had 80,000 on. 2006 T600 cummins isx 450 flywheel house leaking oil, front timing gear cover and front crankshaft seal leak oil,leak at oil cooler housing,oil leak at the oil pan gasket,radiator fins corroding away, transmission clutch release shaft bushings are worn out,transmission output shaft seal cover is leaking, coolant leak at the heater core hose connection,inter-axle driveshaft has play in the slip joint, play in the ball joint for the pitman to draglink end. The truck has 777,000 miles would buy this?
Or would get the shop to fix all of these things before buying??? It's simple business, nothing personal against cummins isx. 1# the most fuel efficient and cost effective truck engines on the road have been detroits. Cummins isx has had a reuccuring issue with there camshafts flattening out.
First of coarse they said it wasn't there fault. Then they said yes they had a bad production run, but there all fixed now. Then they started up all over again, but the reason was because all you guys are putting those ops systems on your engines!!!!!!!!! Which we know is total nonsense.
That is the reason Kevin has been a downer on the cummins. If it makes you feel better, cummins is all we have and have great success with them. I have owned detroits, cats and cummins powered trucks. In my experience the series 60 Detroit gives the best MPGs. I have the fleet IFTA records for the previous two companies that I worked for.
Both fleets had 2000+ trucks with a fairly equal mix of 14L Detroits in Columbias and Centurys and 15L ISXs in T2000, 387, and Volvos. All had EGR running standard OTR applications. Average MPG for the ISXs was 6.304 and was 6.823 for the Detroits. All trucks were goverened between 62-65 MPH. Again these are IFTA numbers which are much more accurate than qualcomm and reflect my real world numbers very closely. So running and ISX will cost around $5000 more oin fuel yearly no to mention the repairs which in my experience are more costly and frequent.
This is painfull for met to admit since I drive an ISX now because I love Petes and didnt want an Acert so I had no other choice since you cant get a detroit in a Pete anymore. I have had numerous problems with this ISX and can promise you it will be the last I buy. Right there is the difference. Freightliners are more aerodynamic than most of their competitors, but they are also lighter weight, rougher riding and typically have Detroits for the engines. The engine only makes up part of the equation of efficiency, the truck it's put in makes up another part, and the driver makes another part still. The Pete 387 (AKA the KW T2UGLY) and the Volvo are equal to each other aerodynamically, but they are not equal to Cascadia, Century, Columbia (which are roughly 3% sleeker).
A half MPG difference between the Freightliner and the Volvo and PACCAR platforms, all other things (drivers included) being equal, is not unheard of. It's just simple aerodynamics combined with a great engine. I've had the Detroit series 60's and ISX's. Kevin is right on the cam issue, on my 2003, & 2004's they all needed cams around 865,000-920,000, the 2006 still has no issue and is well over 900,000 and I did have them checked. They have 2 cams and just that repair at Cummins is near $10,000. One I decided to overhaul instead at a cost of $22,000, another I bought a Recon motor which, with all the extras was about $26,000.
Also just about any mechanic can work on the Detroit, I only will take my ISX to a Cummins shop. So they can be very expensive on maintenance, but I love them as well. The Cummins equipped truck is much more drive-able with the same drive train, 1850 ft lbs of torque vs 1550 ft lbs of torque in the Detroit.
The Cummins equipped truck I drive averages over 8 mpg with all the upgrades that Kevin recommends. The Detroit only cost $16,000 to rebuild including the bull gear. Also it doesn't seem to matter what driver you put on that Detroit it gets over 7 mpg, I can put a driver in my truck and that 8mpg will drop to about 6.5 mpg! I like both the Cummins ISX and the Detroit S60 for the drive ability, however, they still don't beat an old CAT 3406E especially since a 3406 doesn't have EGR at all.
Manual De Operacion De Motores Cummins Isx
No EGR=No EGR issues. It's nothing personal against Cummins, he just doesn't like what the EPA (Private Sector Destruction Agency) has shoved down the throats of ALL the engine makers.
It seems he's had better luck with Detroit, but even those built after a certain model year have EGR issues of some kind. BTW, he also doesn't like the Volvo D12 Vectro motor, either.
That's why he calls it his favorite (for ALL of the EGR issues he's had with it). I don't know what his opinion would be on the Mack MP8 engine.
Kevin does not like anything with (MASSIVE) EGR (MaxxFarts, D12, ACERT, D13, XE13, among others) and that's for a really good reason. It seems Detroit did a really good job with the DD15, but that's probably the only engine I would go with if the truck was a 2007 or newer (AKA a beta test truck). If it's older than an '02, I would stick with my kitty, have an N14 BIG CAM Cummins or have a Detroit S60 (those were good engines). If it's in between, the ISX, despite it's cam issue, the ACERT CAT and the Detroit S60 would be a toss-up. I have had many problems with the 2001 ISX as I had turned it up from 450hp @1650 tq to 600+hp@ 2050+ tq. Number 5 piston turned sideways a few months later. Now it is a real 600hp @ 2050 tq.
And no problems yet. I have used the new monotherm pistons. Power is soother than a v16 and gobs of power throughout the r.p.m.
I out pull old yellow set 2@ 600. On all hills set weight the same. SMOOTH POWER is what sells me. Not to mention 40 more% engine brake.
I highly recommend the concept timing gears!!! It is 0.00% backlash and think it could help the cams?? I pinched off the waste gate line and am careful not to boost over 34 lbs on hills and the fuel mileage is now like it was as a 450 or more, but soooo much more Torque. I am pretty sure I am the only one with a signature 600 in a ` 01 FLD120 the only one!! Can`t wait to get a oil Spinner II 960 put on. My family had 3 Cummins ISX's in the first part of the last decade, 2 '99's and and '01.
All three had major catastrophic failures before 800,000 miles. The two '99's had both been rebuilt under warranty for oil consumption, so their failures in the 6-700,000 mile range were really tough to take. We weren't using bypass oil systems back then, just changing the oil every 15K like everyone else.
One '99 seized up dropping off Flagstaff, my brother was fortunate to have enough air to get stopped. The other two just threw rods through the block. When they were running they ran great. My '99 was a 600, 2050 torque. There were VERY few trucks(including the 600 cats) that could beat me up a mountain, and the mpg was decent for the way I drove it. We also had our share of turbo and camshaft issues.
My current truck is an '06 accert with over 950,000 miles and never even been on a hook. You couldn't give me another cummins powered truck. Have a 2009 motorhome with an ISX 650, 2nd owner. Turbo went out at 11,000, repaired under warranty. Broke a valve off in #6 at 19,000 miles again under warranty, now at 44,000 miles it again broke valves in #5 and 6, liner in 4 also needs replacing. Cummins admits that they have a problem with the engine breaking valves and have new heads and valves to 'fix' it. Bill is right at $29,000 and so far no word on Cummins covering any of it.
Cummins NW says they have seen 4 of the ISX's do this, 2 MH's and 2 class 8's so it's not uncommon. But then I wouldn't buy any emissions engine at this time. I've had 5 ISX egr trucks from 2004 to 2006, and only one of them is still running. My 2003, which is my personal truck, at 1,200,000 miles I ordered an Cummins Recon from the factory. Once it got in I drove the truck to the dealer to have it installed.
Isx Cummins Problems
Disciple is my truck on fuel gauges, so you can look to see my fuel MPG and all the upgrades. The power is much better than my detroits. But my first motor was a Formula 290 that I purchased in 1981. With the Cummins, how it is driven is very important. I put a driver in this truck and he couldn't get over 6mpg, I average over 9 mpg. My detroits were always in the 7mpg range no matter who was driving.
It's funny to see some of the problems that people are having with the isx. I have 1.5 million on mine. All government crap taken off. Deleted and turned to 575hp.
Manual Motor Cummins Isx 450
Mechanic called it the firemans code. We have a kenworth with a c-15 with a c-16 code dynoed at 600hp. With only 275000 on the motor. And the cummins spankes it on fuel milage and power. And the cummins DON'T burn any oil and the oil stayed clean. Holset turbo added. And I have a yearly overhead done.
I weigh 95000 regularly on a 7 axel truck. It's an 06 international 9400i. I believe a Cummins shop can just plug the computer in and set it any way you like, as long as it doesn't violate the EPA rules, and if it's registered in Canada, they may be required to set it according to the rules of where it's registered. At the Cummins in Ft. Worth the mechanic told me with the computer program they use, almost anything I want changed can be changed.
My engine was designed as a Smart Torque motor, so the torque varied depending on demand, from 1650 to 1850, he changed it to always run at 1850 and removed any limits on speed. So there's a good chance it can be done. Here are some numbers I have for them 817-624-2100, or 817-624-2107 and ask for the service desk, they should be able to give you a more accurate answer. They also good give you a price. I love these posts that say ' my Cummins will out pull this and that.Even the Cats ' BULLSHIT!
IF you did out pull a Cat you either had 100+ more horses and lower gears or the other guy wasn't trying or both.I've been driving 28 years, started out driving big wreckers then moved into the Heavy stuff pulling Landoll's and drop decks and I've scaled out as high as 160,000 and I'm here to tell you now.There's not a gawd%#.@ diesel engine out there that can out perform a Caterpillar when it comes to raw power so just stop with the fantasy already. You take any truck you want with equal equipment to any type truck out there and it won't matter. CAT DIESEL POWER RULES THEM ALL BOTTOM LINE!! Just don't ask me to match fuel mileage with you. Well, where should I start. I bought an ISX15 in a 2005 KW in June 2015.
Used to get 6.5 mpg if I drove it like I stole it and 7.5 if driving like grandma. Sept 10, 2015, I broke a crankshaft. Replaced motor with a brand new motor in Oct 2015.
Mar 2016, replaced EGR, Apr 2016, replaced EGR Actuator, May 2016, I replaced the head because it cracked across all 6 cylinders. June, rear main seal and I still can not get over 5.5-6 mpg. Now it's at Pittsburgh Power and they are trying to get it back to where it should be.
I believe that my next truck will have either a Cat or a Detroit in it. My Cat (2WS) used to get 6 to 6.5 all the time and it was in a freightliner Classic. Detroit 12.7 was in an International 9400 was getting 7.5 to 8 all the time. I can tell you as a full time mechanic and part time driver in the oil field, my first choice would be a glider and my second choice would be an isx deleted. After those two choices, I would just find a different occupation. The government, who is the biggest polluter, says you must have a system that doesn't actually make the environment better.
Then they exempt themselves from it because of its poor reliability. I ask some cummins reps what they were doing to fight the EPA and they said 'nothing'. Dealerships make a killing from these flawed systems. Maxxforce, paccar, newer detroits are all terrible designs in my opinion. The best and simplest approach I have seen for reducing emissions is a diesel with propane injection when under boost.
