I see were you have all these miles what about hours I run a fleet of trash trucks stop and go all day long we’re talking move the truck about a lenght and a half speed it up and do it again these are all hooked up to Allison are they lasting there? at present we have MBE 900 and some new Cummins which is the ISC-260 the re-gen on the Cummins is not holding up
PS looking forward to going to your booth at Waste Expo in May

Will the Paccar engine replace the Cummins and the Cat engins now available in Kenworth and Peterbilt Trucks?

i am waiting to see how new engines will perform.what is the expected fuel mileage? is the fluid a constant burn or does it burn like my 2008 and will require sometimes a stopped re-gen?will there be the same problems in the dpf as i have now? at 280,000 i had to have dpf rebuilt at a cost of $3000.i will require more than 485hp and 1750 of torque.

In response to Tom Bochsler’s query asking how mechanic friendly these engines are, I just came from preliminary sales training on them, and there are several features that I’m sure will please most techs.One is a “pin-back” feature on the idler pulley that allows for the pulley to be held back away from the belt during replacement, eliminating the need to wrestle a new belt into place. Also,the water pump is mounted off center at the right front of the engine, and is removed and re-installed in less than five minutes, depending on truck model and proximity to the radiator. Add to those an electric over hydraulic EGR valve, whose function is impervious to ambient heat sources, simple valve adjustments that also set the engine brake in one operation, and unit injector pumps that allow for “limp home” rather than engine shutdown if failure occurs. Throw in a 4″ diameter camshaft, force fractured connecting rods and main caps, and a balanced crankshaft that needs no counterweights and the whole package appears pretty robust.

An injection pressure of 25,000bar is that not a little bit too much? (36,000PSI =2500bar)
