Yea total joke.

cummins still claims B50 at 1+ million on their newer engines too. I would think this would be true if you never ran it below 1500RPM's.. but reality dictates otherwise on the roads these days.

We are seeing clearly that has these horribly spec'd tall rear ended trucks that are everywhere now, lugging the guts out of the engines all in the name of limiting HP to save fuel artificially. Bacause of this, just about everything at 1850-trq and higher is a B50 of only about 650k, and roughly about 900k on 1750trq.

Yes, they do it. I see posted picture and was scratching my head. Cruising speed was 65 mph and rpm just 600. But maybe he was going downhill or something...
I think they will abuse trucks and then just sell them before any catastrophic failure.
And buy a new one. So , maybe it makes sense for them. If mpg is really that high, which I doubt... Also dd15 removed this turbo compounding from our engines, because with our terrain they didn't see much benefit.
