RE: How is your Cummins 2250 Doing?
I have a 2250 in my 2013 Volvo. It's rated for 400hp and 1550/1750tq. It has a 10 speed Eaton with 3.42 rear end gears.

The truck I have used to be my company truck. I was issued the truck with only 6,000 miles on it back in October 2012. When the mega fleet company I work for decided to go 100% Freightliner Cascadia "Smart" trucks (Automatics and frontal radar systems) in 2015 I told the higher ups that it's either they let me purchase my 2013 Volvo, or I'm working for someone else. The reason I said that is because I tried one of the "Smart" trucks and every time someone cut me off, the truck would slam the brakes by itself. I drove it 10 miles before I said "NOPE!".

So, I purchased the Volvo from the mega fleet company in October 2015 with 290,000 miles on it. Now it has 610k. I've replaced the turbo, the DOC, and the DPF at 390k. It also burns a gallon or so of oil between oil changes. I change the oil every 10-12,500 miles. Other than that, no issues. I get low 7's for fuel mileage in the warmer months and low 6's in the winter months. Been pretty good to me so far. But with the large amount of negativity I hear about the 2250, I know that "THE END" is near.
