Which series Cummins engine should I buy? 

The Cummins N14 select plus is my favorite, watching from Jamaica west Indies !!

I have a 2019 freightliner cascadia with a Cummins x15 efficiency series engine, bought new. It’s mated to a 10 speed manual and 3.08 rears. I’m coming up on 553,000 miles. The lifetime mpg is 8.08, although in October I had the engine re-rated from 450hp. 1750tq to 1850tq. Cummins said that I would need to upgrade some components to raise the hp. I’m satisfied with the setup. Other than replacing some sensors and the def manifold, the truck is a reliable setup. I have not yet needed the dpf cleaned.

My days of king off the hill are done Would like a truck to work not continue to disappoint When a 605 Cummins motor 4:11 gears pulling and empty trailer you have to drop 1.5 gears in the transmission to pull a grade something wrong 😑

Great 👍 info Peterbilt Mike you my go to Peterbilt guy

Hi from Norway Mike ...........Keep up the good work .!

Thank you for making the video. Didn't know it was called the x600. Dealer is quoting me a 3400 usd list price for that vs 565. So probably 3000 actual price all said and done.

Hello from uk MR C 👋👋SORRY missed live tho and I love the pinky laugh your awesome 😂😂 just funny and great the way you take jolly at yourself ad buy stuff just for the customer service from you bet your best sales man over there cos customer would feel that happy to be in your personal company the would purchase everything cos mike says "" hey I'm your guy for today"" (SOLD) al take 2 pmsl kerp it lv it matey you da man!!!😂👍👋

Mike on a Scania the 111,112,113 the first two numbers as in the 11 bit represents the engine capacity in litres hence 11 been 11litres the third number 1,2 or 3 is the series number so a 141,142,143 are 14 litre series 1,2 & 3 these all usually appear on the bottom left corner of the grill the number on the right is the horse power

Like you Mike I like Cummins to,the Cummins slogan for the 80’s/90’s was Nothing pulls like a Cummins

Well my truck just screwed all your spec numbers. 2018 567 with an efficiency series with 435hp and an Allison 6spd. It will turn 2200 rpm.

Love your tech talks. Very informative! So I have a question we a 567 set forward, this truck will be a lowboy ( lowbed) heaviest we’ll be hauling is out 60k pound excavator. What x15 would you have recommended? It is going to have Allison trans unfortunately. More out of curiosity, I’m not sure which engine option they went with.

HI Mike, whats the maximun horse power can develop the X15 efficiency series with 3567 cpl?

Mike I was up at your shop picking up an imap sensor for my efficiency series last week. I’m from Ontario and I’m not happy with the efficiency series engine pulling a 3 axle rgn around anywhere. My question is could I tear my block right down to nothing and with the right parts purchased turn it into a performance 565 or even the productivity 605(x600). ?? Thanks.

Mike I used to watch trucker josh a few years ago n he went to Labrador via Sydney Nova Scotia n in a truck stop he saw 2 Scania 142 or 143 450hp so some one can get parts

Give me a KTA19 any day as theirs no replacement for displacement and mechanical PT fuel system just go forever and no ecu to let you down

i hear you loud and clear

Nice video

Please clip a mic to your shirt to keep the audio level. Thx

Hello Mike happy Tuesday

a question for you mike would it possible to get a peterbuilt cap as present for my nephew his bd is on the 17th of this month i hope to hear from you soon

I'd appreciate some more focus. Still learned a new fact tho. Thanks

What about the x12 any info on that

Mike do they rebrand any of the Cummins engines as PACCAR over there like they do here in the UK? We order a new DAF, we get a Cummins engine thats painted black with a PACCAR badge on the valve cover and a Cummins id plate on it.

Any competition for Kenworth C500 series?

I here the 389 is coming to an end? Can you talk about this?

Is there any other option then a 605,2050 performance series?

As long as its a Cummins. Only Cummins 🤠

I still think u should put Kenny's engine into k2 and look for a damaged boxtruck with good frame and enginge for kenny. Kenny can be ur oversized pickup. And k2 can be ur trailer hauler.

Mike if I were to order anew Pete is there an engine available as good as a CAT ?

Should go old school and find a red top N14

Hi Mike I am not sure, will you answer to my question but I need some clarification about Productivity Series. I know that it has 2 Hardware Setups: Efficiency with up to 500hp and Performance with 565hp and higher. Productivity can hold 2000rpm, we understand it. Questions: #1 Does it mean that because of higher rpm level the Productivity Series is more reliable than Efficiency Series? Why? #2 Any Engine sets with block and head ( just so everyone could understand ) . Does the productivity series engine have the block,pistons etc same as or from performance series? Is it correct that the crankshaft in productivity series same as in performance series? As I know that in efficiency series it’s crankshaft is much weaker.I would like to know. #3 Even if productivity series has the hardware from economical series, the true efficiency series will have better fuel efficiency than Productivity Series with Efficiency Hardware, but will be there the fuel consumption difference in mpg really high or they are not too far away or really close to each other. Thank you a lot let God Bless you!

Hi Mike my last pet had a Signature 600 had the 2100rpm program 430 ratio and 18 double over. I liked the C 15, was faster up the hills and faster going down without the the brakes smoking. The original 600 was always said to have at least 600 h.p. and at least 2050 torque. Never really saw the actual h.p. and torque. Cheers from Phoenix

KTA

X-15 hands down. Yeah, they're a little noisy....but mine pulls 90,000 lbs + and can still hit 70 MPH with that weight.

Good day to you Mike, I think your camera is zoomed in a little too close, I can see the lights behind the valance on your desk and your head is a bit too large. Of course your head can never be too big eh?

And mike what did K-2 start its life with ?

Hey mike i heard that the best Cummings engine is the isx15

855 OR N14

Just get to it

Hello Mike, enjoyed the engine talk, even though I won't be buying one 😁...what is your ratio of logging trucks to highway trucks up there, that you sell? It was fun watching the side of your head for awhile, but felt helpless not being able to tell you. Hope you puppy feels better, we went thru that last May and lost ours. Great show, I will catch one of these live yet. Keep truck'in...Tim L. MN

A lot of waffle , you may have got your point across ? Here in the UK/Europe truck manufactures usually build 70 - 90 % in house chassis/engine/box/axle/electrics , the last UK truck manufactures to build with Cummins/Cat/Rolls Royce - Perkins were ERF (brought out by MAN)Sedden Ackinson(owned by Paccar)Foden (dont know but long gone) and Leyland brought out by DAF/Paccar Daf did bring out a LHD only 500 Cummins , Volvo allegedly collaberated with Cummins on there FH series engine . As you are in the Industry how does the Volvo FH 16 (up to 750bhp) engine compare or the Scania V8 ( somewhere between 14 -18 litre - they do a few V8's) to the Cat C15/16 or the Cummins IXS/X15 ? I already Know both smoke the Paccar/Daf engine . Ask a Dutchman ! As for parts for a Scania , Sweden , thats where they make Scanias ... Dou.. 😁

Hello from Van Island, great videos, was wondering if Peterbilt would ever pursue the heavy truck market. I was thinking of the C500 and Western Star 6900. I notice in the videos of the oil patch that Kenworth seems to dominate.

Mikey, what you need is a Western Star cab-over. Not something we have a lot of down here. Pete's and Kenny's are everywhere ... Yawn. A 440 is a nice engine. You don't need 600 for a toy truck ...

To me the performance series 565 2050 Tq is a better value than what the 605 cost. It’s not worth it. I would still rather have a yellow motor!

you should rather buy a scania 770 engine,a Beast

Hi Mike your talking and looking at the wrong camera look forward

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You are hilarious 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

👍🇨🇱

I wonder why Cummins stop at 605 hp when in Europe volvo and scania are 750hp and 770 hp from factory and 3,775 nm im not bashing Cummins I love their engines I started my apprenticeship working on them and are more than capable of building bigger truck engine's just look at their military and power generation applications

My dad said you can't have hair and brains..lol

So basically you still have 2 X15 : the Efficiency Series and the Performance Series. But now, there is a new rating available for both called the "Productivity Series". It's basically the fully unlocked X15 with all the power, all the torque and all the revs. The other are the "fleet" ratings. You can switch between Efficiency/Performance and Productivity with a "simple calibration change".

WHICH 1, NONE !

Cummins are not fitted to European trucks anymore except maybe Sisu from Finland

Automatics are the future, I really don't think a manual transmission will be an option down the road and if you can get one the price will be too high. The market is dictated by the mega carriers who want automatics, owner operators who like the manual transmission make up 1% of the industry and really have no impact on what the market dictates.

WTF!

Did you just bash International 😳 they are manufactured 6 miles from me. Shame on you for International shaming 🤣

Don’t Juice a cat up , tune them down for longer life span , 3406b 425hp air to air tuned down to 385hp 2 million miles and running 😼

Hi Mike I'm asking you i don't like the way Kenny looks like you are trying to change him to flat top .I rather him as a tractor unit he was built that way he should stay that way now what about the other cab over that sitting outside he's like seamussel sitting in one pl ace an nowhere to go as Maoris of NewZealand say(kuties)

Buy a cat engine , new Cummins engines are junk ,

Your cideo staeted out good then turned to POO. STOP GOING OFF TOPIC. ITS ANNOYING

You're hard to listen to!!!
