Can the mandate on my ISX12 be removed just like on the ISX15 ? I would like to keep it stock until the warranty runs out and then possibly remove the mandate.

If you're going to "keep it stock" for the duration of the warranty, as soon as the truck comes back from Peterbilt getting the ECM issue corrected, INSTALL A BYPASS OIL FILTER on that thing IMEDIATELY!
Cranes by the very nature of their job, idle a lot. The EGR percentage is very high during idle, so increased filtration to tackle the soot issue is your biggest concern. I'm sure your well aware of this, but don't do oil changes by miles on a crane truck, but by hours. Knowing that you will be idling, and naturally heavy soot loading the oil, I'd recommend 200hr intervals. Oil is cheaper than motors.
Make sure you keep on top of EGR system tune-up/soot clean outs as well because of the stated concerns.
I don't know what 400k miles would be in hours, but beware the XPI fuel pump self destruct issue and change it at or before this time.

So your saying this engine has the fuel pump with the ceramic plungers? I thought they would have changed that setup by now.WTF?
