I read cummins helped with this engine or just the after treatment? Who tunes them? Are they going to be a nightmare for me? They are used and around 400,xxx miles so warranty will be off soon I think. These are dump trucks we just got they cannot idle more than 5 minutes for they have a no idle shutdown. They still have a year left of warranty on them and have the service records on them from peterbilt I'm not going to just quit working for the company just because they made a decision I don't agree with. I would love for them to stick with cummins but buying a brand new peterbilt dump truck with a isx and 13/18 speed transmission a good dump body is 200k. If you divide out a brand new truck pmt vs what they are making in today's market it's not worth it. Maybe in the future we will be trading up to buy new trucks or new lease and get to that point but at this time we have to go with what works used trucks. I'm told 65% of kw and peterbilt are being sold with the paccar engine so there not going away as much as I'd like cat to come back I'm not thinking it's going to happen and by the looks of it paccar(peterbilt and kenworth) are pushing there own brand. So in the next years time I need to learn paccar since I don't work for a dealership this will be a little more difficult for me to do so I'm trying to get as much knowledge of these engines as I can a lot of it will be on hand but places like this forum do help. | |||
