Steve- (Greatest Salesman ever)... Purchased mine about 6 months ago from you, zero issues. My local Cummins dealer is providing routine maintenance/service, and with the exception of a little fuel mileage loss after the first software update, I am completely satisfied. Pulling flats in the mountains of Kentucky and West Virginia, our’s gets a real work out, but with the 2050 torque we handle the grades with stride, while delivering a solid 6 MPG. Yeah, we sacrifice a little mileage running a big hood 389, but looks and appearance are quite important to us, as our family has always had long hoods since the 90’s. Such praise coming from a Caterpillar lifer, should speak volumes. Keep up the good work!

2050 torque has it's advantages but it will grind your rears all to pieces if you get stuck somewhere and start spinning your wheels to try to regain traction and free yourself... So a lot of, especially heavy haul, operations turn their 2050s back to about 1900 for driveline component safety.

In the past one year Oct '19 and Oct '20 I've run two X15 engines and while I like them a lot and have had no issues with them, I don't understand the banging / slapping / clanging noises these engines make especially when you get into the throttle, the louder they get. While the engines sound like they are about to spill their guts all over the highway, after a while I've learned to ignore the noise and run. I've never heard a H-D diesel make that sound before and I wish Cummins would at least educate us as to what the noise is and what effect it has on the engine if any. The noise emanates from the drivers side of engine and sounds exactly like steel smacking steel. At 125k miles, it starts hard and slow and shutdown occurs in less than 2-seconds flat which is kind of frightening but again, just ignore it and go about business. It's a great running engine, just has a few quirks that take some getting used to. All the X15 engines do it, just don't understand it.

On all machinery failure rates are usually highest when they are new or super old, but rarely in the middle. Infant and senior mortality so to speak. If these make it 300k, I'd say they are well past early failure. Early failure is usually very quick. Senior failure with these you'll need to wait 10-15 years I am guessing. That's when plastics and shit will start breaking down from exposure to their environment. Electronics may get wonky by that time.

2011 450 isx was good strong and great on fuel economy engine ... the problems were the dpf system.....2007 cat 475 c-15 was good engine too... have 2016 paccar mx13 and runs great only reoccurring problem is fault code 5319... no problems with fuel filter..... hey those dpf filters have a cleaning interval even if that gauge says it's clean you might want to double check with peterbilt on warranty issues if you don't clean it even tho your gauge says it's clean... peterbilt and paccar make a great truck and engine I've come to the conclusion after listening to myself and so many other drivers complaining about the same reoccurring issues with fault codes... IT'S NOT THE TRUCK... IT'S THE SHOPS AND MECHANICS NOT DOING A THOROUGH PROPER JOB... I'VE BEEN BLAMING THE TRUCK BLAMING THE TRUCK AND THEN IT STUCK ME.. WAIT A MINUTE.. THEY'VE SEEN THESE PROBLEMS OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND FOLLOW THE SAME DIAGNOSTICS/ CURE FOR IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN BEFORE FINALLY MOVING ONTO THE NEXT WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE SOLUTION... AND THAT'S A SHAME BECAUSE WE LOSE REVENUE SITTING IN A MOTEL FOR A WEEK TO ONLY GET THE TRUCK BACK AND FEW DAYS LATER BAM !!! SAME FAULT CODE !!! TILL FINALLY AFTER 4 OR 5 TIMES THEY GO OH YEAH WE FIGURED IT OUT IT WAS THIS OR THAT.... WELL.... UM .. WELL MAYBE AFTER YOU FIGURE THAT OUT DON'T YOU THINK THE NEXT GUY WHO COMES IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM YOU OUGHT TO PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER AND SAY GEE YOU KNOW I BET IT'S THE SAME THING CAUSING IT AND SAVE THE REST OF US FROM GOING THRU THE 4-5 VISITS ???

If you have a Paccar fuel processor on your engine use Paccar primary fuel filter K371012 in fall/winter. It’s a 30 micron filter. I put 350k on a ‘16 ISX15. Oil/filters changed every 30k miles. ZERO PROBLEMS. Use K371011 in spring/summer. It’s a 10 micron.

My 18' 389 with Cummins X15 Performance needs an overhaul at 339,000 miles. Engine leaked coolant since the very beginning of running it. No one could find the correct issue. Instead I paid for a new EGR this past December. I believe the Oil Cooler was changed under warranty. Had to replace the coolant tank once due to high pressure trying to blow off the cap. Was told that I cross threaded the cap wrong, yeah ok.

ISX was just like the gas engines starting out. Everyone was having issues early. Know of a lot of cars and trucks back then. Some could not get 30,000 miles. Smog stuff was stopped up. Look at those today, for the most part. NO issues on gas engines now. Everyone rushed the Diesel design in way early. Or waited late in the game to start testing. Should have been testing in the 80's. For the release years later.

So far people are liking it and is proving to be reliable. Cummins put a lot of time and money into developing it so they can get back into the midbore market. Other OEMs as of right now aren't putting it in their chassis yet due to it being additional competition to the midbore engines they make themselves.
