    Pdi is pretty good, I had 23 389, I went all out and threw a whole kit at it, second turbo, exhaust and intake manifolds, and their tuner. That really woke x15 up, she diid 623hp and 2283 ft/lb to the ground. I ran it for five months and sold it, went back into 94 379exth with c-model cat, and haven't looked back since. Newer trucks almost have to be deleted from the get go for them to be reliable, at this rate I'd rather restore an older truck and not deal with all epa bs, and no elog is a cherry on the top😉

      man you sure did get into a pile of 💩💩💩.. i have a 94 flat top with a b model, a 379, a 389 and a 2020 579 and yes they are deleted "389. 579" i wold have to be a complete moron to go from my 579 automatic back to my 94 dinosaur 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡.. you probably couldnt afford it and had no choice but to go back to junk iron

    I’d recommend the Fass. I have the same system I installed on my Paccar peterbilt about a year ago. I think it recommends 30,000 mile on the filters change but that is just too much. I change mine every 10,000 and haven’t had any issues. The fuel heater for fass I also have installed because we get -40 weather in the winter. Also no need to sit there and use the manual pump when changing filters just crack open the second filter and turn the key on and the whole system primes in just a few seconds.

    Say what you want but every cummins I owned was reliable. Never owned a new tractor but everyone I got a good deal on or could afford all had cummins engines . I didn't become a cummins man by choice. Funny how things work out.

      ​@@leejohnson6173 you start monkeying with any engine it's not gonna run properly ..temp ..oil pressure. My nephew ruined one. But I never spent $ I didn't have to. $50,000 paint jobs . Set the chrome industry back a month with all the shiny things. He'll learn one day.

    • @KvotheYSL21

      ​@leejohnson6173 I've run both isx15 and x15. I drove them as hard or harder than I ever did my 2WS E3406 set to 550. Both Cummins were rated to 500. Neither one gave me a hint of an issue, 500k on a brand new 2022 (built '21), and 730k presently on an '11 ISX15. The 11 just had injectors done... that's it. After driving both, I can tell you first hand as a heavy haul specialized operator turned mile chasing refer driver, the power, response, drivability, and most importantly ECONOMY of the newer cummins engine is simply and absolutely wonderful. You couldn't pay me enough to go back to the kitty, as much as I love them... I value capability and uptime over nostalgia. To each their own though, certain cat engines are extremely reliable in stock form and more simple to fix and maintain.

    Put a 444 junkinns motor in my 1980 Pete. After all kinds of problems we sent it out to Pittsburgh power, they did pump, injectors and a high flow coolant system on it. Along with a fass system. She went from an over heating turtle to a monster of a motor.

  • @aaronchovanetz5135
    @aaronchovanetz5135 Рік тому +4

    Cummins has it the intake ran like that so the EGR would mix evenly with every cylinder now you’re one and two are going to get the majority of the EGR flow if you leave it emissions intact
