With the new supreme court ruling on the EPA I wonder if this means DEF systems Are no longer required.. and I wonder if CAT Can get back in the game.. If the EPA can no longer regulate
My best 2 engines have been #1 Detroit Diesel series 60 12.7 liter 500hp which ran 1.8 million miles before the overhaul and 7 years after before I retired and sold it, #2 Cummins N14 460hp which went 1.4 million miles which was still going strong when I sold it.
Ryan your that dude. I learn a lot from your content alone
Good information thanks. My opinion and experience for 30 years driving and owning trucks I decided stay with Detroit , in my case series 60 , 500 HP for the last 25 years . Be safe out there drivers

I’m running a 2019 Mack Anthem with the MP8. It has 426,000 on it. It’s been a good engine. My employer runs all Mack’s with this power plant with minimal problems. Last employer I ran for had me in a KW 680 with the X15. It was pretty good engine for the most part. It had its issues. Freightliner I ran rarely but ran one when my KW was in for a service and it left me sit. Just completely shut down like I turned off the key.
Good thorough explanations of risks/benefits of the various engines. The fact that QuickServe was free was a powerhouse in my decision to get ISX 15. Appreciate your content!

Got a 2015 Freightliner Cascadia with a DD15 good so far changed Injector cups and seals, Cam housing gaskets, Oil Pump and O-rings, Transmission fluid, Differential fluid. 710,600 miles on it doing my best on prevent maintenance, next I will change Injectors and fuel quantity control valve. Oil change and fuel filter change every 20k. Just had to delete it due to the DOC pressure sensor, running fine so far. Having a good mechanic that knows your engine is a plus. Also change your coolant every year to prevent rust around the cylinder liners that a plus to. Take care of your engine and it will take care of you, I'm very strict about engine maintenance that's the heart of the truck. Thanks Ryan your knowledge is very appreciated 🙏 👍

Yes my brother I love this video
I drive an International pro star, typically pull a 53 foot van trailer. We are a contractor for the postal service so loads are never that heavy. Trucks are about 5 years old with 500,000 miles. There are always warning lights displayed on the dash, we are told to carry on driving. Transmissions can be a bit erratic, but overall is a quite a nice truck to drive.

Yep the Mack MP8 is a Volvo power plant. And in all honesty they are a fine powerplant. People make a big thing about the problems they have with injector cups. And yes they do go wrong, but Cummins also suffer from the same problem. As for Paccar I am very biased, they are an excellent power plant and my first choice when looking for a new truck. As for the software you definitely can get the software a lot cheaper now, as it is widely advertised through online websites. Obviously it is not from Paccar but it is a perfect copy. ( Only available from European websites I believe ). Keep up the good work Ryan best Truck website on KZread .

I have 2 2017 N13 prostars in my fleet, 1 I’ve been happy with, it’s done amazing. The second I’m on the fence about, as it’s had the def sensor go out and had to wait 5-6 weeks to get it back, but that was a brand wide problem, not international. But then a month later the scr was cracked and had to spend 13.4k to get a brand new scr. Since then it’s been decent, but we will see how it holds up the rest of the year

I take umbrige that you mentioned Detroit Seies 60 but did not mention my engine: Commins N14 Celect Plus. My thoughts: Macks are slow, Deries 60s are good when running empty, and Volvos are good when bobtailing. Caterpillars are strong but are very, very, very, thirsty. Hence, I chose Cummins N14 so that I get decent fuel mileage and I do not lose speed going up most mid-western hills; Eaton 13-speed assists in this.

Cummins have been great to my family for 2 generations. I've had them in Louisville Fords IHC Volvo whites and now Im driving a '16 Cascadia daycab semi dump.

Is the n14 still viable for a few more years if it's in a newer glider? My DD15 has been in the shop nonstop for the past 5 months for codes that nobody can figure out how to fix. So I'm a motivated seller and have been looking closely at the other brands, lately leaning toward Cummins for the high availability of shops, but you might have just sold me with your insights on their software and free manuals. I love supporting those rare companies that do things the right way, and Cummins sounds like they might be way above the rest in that aspect. It sure would be nice to find a newer Cummins pre-emmission glider for sale right now, as long as there's still good parts availability.

Fuel mileage. It's everything. Over the life of a million miles half gallon can add $ 50k easy. FYI, I vote dd13 ghg17 or newer.
