Agree with a bit of this, disagree with some other stuff. To start with, I've been a Driver, Owner Operator and small company owner since 1984. Like Brian, I've tried out and driven various types of trucks with different set ups for the engine and transmissions. Personally, you couldn't give me another Volvo...period. To many computers and electrical problems. Comfortable? Absolutely. But if you can't keep it out of the shop though, it's useless. I didn't have the problems Brian had, but then I didn't keep the truck past the Warranty. I did however have the truck wind up in the shop twice for over 2 weeks waiting on parts from Germany. The second time was the end of the line. PACCAR... I'm not a fan, but they seem to have worked out a lot of the bugs from earlier on. Good fuel milage, but for me, lack power in the mountains. Detroit... I still remember when you had to add a gallon of oil to the old Detroits daily or you were out of oil. They've come a long ways. The DD15 is a good engine and pulls well. Great fuel mileage and pretty inexpensive to repair with shops everywhere to get them worked on. Cummins... this is my preferred engine. Great power, good fuel mileage and dependable as the change in seasons. Cost wise to repair, it depends on the problem, but mostly comparable to the Detroit. Blow an engine and you're looking at $57,000.00 to replace it, or depending on the damage, if it's rebuildable, about the same depending on damage. Fuel mileage versus speed has been an on going debate forever and 2 days. Part of fuel mileage is gearing that nobody ever talks about. If you let a Dealer spec your truck out, your going to get piss-poor fuel milage in the mountains or rolling hills. For some reason, they seem to think that North America is all flat. Go figure. Spec your truck out to fit the areas You run. Personally, I'd rather get 4200 miles than 3200 miles a week. I don't agree with governing trucks to 62 or 65 mph. I will always feel that if you can't do the speed limit, you don't belong on the Interstate. Having said that, I also don't agree with running 90 mph anywhere. If you can't get where you're going doing the speed limits, you should have left sooner or rescheduled. For me, it's personal preference. I'd rather set my cruise and know that I'm not presenting an obstacle for everyone else that can do the speed limit to get around and move with the flow of traffic. Will you get better fuel mileage at 65 than 75? Yes. Will you cover the same mileage? Eventually, yes. But over a weeks time, the one running 75 is covering an extra 700 miles. So, again, it's personal preference and the areas you run. A couple other things. 1) for those that want to run 80 - 90 mph; unless you're running special tires, your tires at NOT rated for speeds over 75 mph for long periods. Have a blow out and get in an accident or cause one and YOU are at fault because you were operating your equipment beyond its limitations. 2) Tire pressure. You probably hear this all the time, but it is the truth. Check your tire pressure and keep them at consistent pressures ( 110 lbs front, 100 lbs drive, 100 lbs tandems is my preference). Anyways, happy motoring and stay safe out there.

I had a 12.7L 60 Series Detroit in a 2001 Freightliner FLD120. It was a decent engine but it didn't pull as hard as my M11 Cummins. I found out that the Detroits torque peak came a couple hundred rpm higher than the Cummins did. That obviously makes a difference in a big diesel when the rpm range is very limited as opposed to a gas engine in a car or pickup truck. Mine was also one of those that received a bad turbo from the supplier (obviously not Detroit Diesels fault) and it popped at around 125k miles-replaced under warranty. It was very fuel efficient though and other than those 2 things I have absolutely no complaints about it. I ran that truck for about 600k miles then went back to Cummins power when I traded it in on a 2006 Classic XL. All in all, I wouldn't hesitate (much lol!) to buy another Detroit 60 powered tractor if I needed to.

I’ve got a 2019 KW T680 with the Cummins X15. I’ve got 390,000 miles on it and so far I’ve had no engine issues with it. I’ve got mine set at the performance setting and the automated transmission and it gets anywhere from 6.7-7.5mpg and that’s running everywhere and at 70mph. I service mine between 20-30k miles to keep up and going good. my friend who is a Cummins mechanic told me that everyone who is running the recommended service intervals has more problems with things gumming up compared to owner ops that services engines closer to the old days. Doing the work myself it cost apx $400 for oil and all the filters. I know it’s long but hopefully it’s some use to someone who is looking for the right engine

Got a 2007 volvo d12 with a 13 speed manual. Around 3.2 million kms which is roughly 2 million miles on the original engine. Will get another truck soon because of the rust and how old it is but engine is original and one of my favorite trucks I've own.

What about the old 2-Stroke Detroit’s; a silver 92 was a screamer😂

Star mechanic from Australia here 🖐️ I work on both engines and from my time Iv found the Detroit seems to cost a hell of alot less than Cummins, honestly I'd pick a DD.. in my opinion they're a great engine, sure no new engine is as good as the old ones but we run them at 550hp 1850ftlb and if they're running up and down the coast with B-double you'll likely see 1.2 to 1.5 million KMs before overhaul.. on road train and stock work you'll see 850k to 1m KMs, maintenance is key with these engines they are very fine tolerance engines so keep your fuel and oil super clean, regular tune ups and they'll make lots of money, we've seen alot of X15s drop liners at 500,000km and found Cummins warranty doesn't seem to be as good as Penske which is disheartening.. had lots of good will from Penske even post warranty The end of the day.. they may not pull as hard as the x15 but they will make more money, but the DD16 is due to arrive on our shores soon and with 600hp and 2050ftlb they may give the old Cummins a fair run.. thanks guys enjoyed the video always great to see what's happening on the other side of the road 👌🇭🇲

Really? He purchased Volvo's D-13 engine & mated it to an Eaton 18-gear manual transmission. Volvo D-13 & Paccar MX-13 engines were designed to operate with their own automatic transmissions, from these same manufacturers. Volvo, Paccar & Scania offer the whole drive train (engine + transmission), so if you are going for one of those engines, get their auto transmission. If you want to drive a manual, Cummins is probably your best best; especially if you need stronger engines. X-15 Performance, with 605 hp & 2,050 ft-lb, with an 18-gear Eaton transmission, is likely the best choice.

Oil thermostat went out on my 2016 ISX 15 back in June. I though it was the coolant thermostat causing the overheating despite I was getting the message of hot oil, so I had the coolant thermostat replaced and then I run it for another week and I ended up taking two liners, truck was little over 641000 miles when I put it in the shop. I had to do the in frame, oil pump, cut the block and new injections for roughly $28000 US. I my opinion the ISX that I have is a great engine, you just have to know how to find the problems, I'm sure my engine would reached the million miles without a problem if it wasn't for the oil cooler thermostat going bad and not fixed on time. Now the truck is fixed with almost 40000 on the rebuild and runs like a dream again.

Thanks, this was very enlightening. Just watch the mileage on these engines as well, as a lot of Detroit's don't become available until they're up there in mileage.

I'm running an 06' ISX (pre def) 565hp on an 18speed. Over 1.3million miles without anything to major going wrong. Fuel milage isn't great in my brick 379 and the gearing it's got but I was in high school when this truck was built lol

I still run my '03 Intl 9400i 72" Skyrise with Detroit 12.7L non-egr, 10-sp direct with 2.64 rears on 11R22.5 rubber and 7.5 mpg is normal. When my truck is in shop I have rented brand new Intl LT's with the Cummins X-13 with 10-sp automatic and the new Mack with their MP-8 and 12-sp automatic. Honestly the Cummins pulls like a beast but the motor sounds like it's gonna blow any minute, they scare me. The Mack on the other hand with the 12-O.D. auto trans and 455 Hp MP-8 is balanced and does the job damn well without a sweat. Throw a hill at a Mack in cruise and it just does it and most of the time in the top gear. Where the Mack setup really shines is backing under a loaded trailer or backing into a dock. Just feathering the throttle manages a gentle hookup and connecting with the dock without trying to knock the building down like the Eaton autoshift transmissions are famous for. While the Mack's are not huge spacious cabs, fact is they are performers and especially well suited for local LTL work. Volvo's I had a bad experience with many years ago and refuse to try another. The Intl LT with Eaton autoshift not fun to drive, extremely bad (very hard) suspensions and not my favorite. No experience yet with the Freightliner Cascadia's with Detroit but maybe looking. My truck is very old with completely rebuilt engine that runs circles around today's trucks and gets damn good fuel mileage but I am contemplating a newer truck with autoshift and smaller sleeper cab / shorter W.B. for local LTL work and construction hauling. It's a toss between Mack Anthem and Freightliner Cascadia and I need more information and do more research because at my age, I want it to be my final truck purchase of my life. My biggest concern is learning to perform maintenance on the DPF systems, how often, and how much. Freightliner trucks have two DPF filters, the Mack only one. The Mack is the easiest to service, don't know about Freightliners yet.

I am a big truck inspector. I've been doing it for about 8 years now. You mentioned that you weren't sure about when the Paccar engine came out. I don't know what year they actually started making them but I've inspected KW and Pete's from about 10 and they had the Paccar engine. According to what I know they started making them when the DEF system was required. So they have been out for at least 10 years now.

Traded in a long nose wit a yellow engine for a Volvo D13-425hp 13od....the fuel saving wit the Volvo made the payment. Now at 900k and have not had it back to the dealer for repair other than scheduled matinance. Would buy another in a heart beat.

When Paccar acquired DAF in the 90s, a major reason was DAF's diesel engineering and manufacturing capability that Paccar lacked. The Europeans were vertically integrated in engines... Most of the US competitors were not, and the Europeans were facing the toughest diesel emission standards in their home market. Today, the US and Euro standards are very similar makeing MX 11 and MX 13 were a valuable addition to Paccar's internal capabilities.

I drove back in the 70s. The transmissions I drove are 4&4 , 5&3 and Roadranger's 13 and 15 speeds. The engines 318 Detroit. Cummins 220, 220 with a blower made it 262 hp. I also drove the 262 V8 and engine that you had to know how to run them. They were real easy to spit the crank out. I also ran 250 and 335 and the 903. I ran the west coast California Oregon Washington Nevada Arizona and Idaho.

It’s all about money, if you spend less money on fuel compare to other engines, you have a good motor As far as I know, DD15 is most fuel efficient compared to others, so, that should be the indicator for a good engine.

My Unlce had a 379 Pete with a 3406B he was never at a loss for pulling power. Before he retired from the trucking industry he put about 3 million miles on that motor.

Detroit, up and down the coq daily no issues, but the Cummins does pull the smasher a lil faster Thanks for the info

A larger engine only sucks up fuel, if you keep the pedal to the metal. If you drive it smart, you have power when you need it, and you can take it easy on it and get good fuel mileage.

Update . My 07 pete 387 was getting 8.18 mpg this winter average speed 65 mph. Deleted C15 meow meow ! And it's got the good aftermarket exhaust manifold with a big single turbo , that thing is a beast. I have to get out of the fuel pulling hills because she starts to warm up pretty .

My limited experience with the Cummins X15 and the PACCAR MX-13 both in PACCAR trucks has the MX doing better on fuel economy and both having emissions sensor issues, so I tend to lean towards favoring the MX-13 just for the little bonus that is having an 8+mpg engine. That said I've run DD15s most of my career and have been getting 8+ mpg on all of them with minimal issues. They're phenomenal engines.

Paccar engines/DAF, were created in 1928. They are every bit as old as most engine makers here in North America. Although they’ve been known to have head issues at around 800,000km, they are in my opinion/experience trouble free.

I have always had really good luck with Cummins and Detroit IMHO (don’t know if that’s right) they are worthy of the investment.

Ronan note for a future video. The Volvos in the fleet, are they D13 or D13TC? Heard the TC other than a more complex turbo system (future repair cost) they are much better.

@oramlll Wasn’t the Detroit TC a variable geometry system?

@oramlll they were VGT. Too much low speed builds up deposits and they jam up requiring removal to clean. Jams cause limp mode and nobody wants that on a work truck.

Good advice man! Thank you! I'm from Montalban, Rizal, Phils. God bless you.

Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
