If they want “emissions” we should use the Euro 6 model. Those engines have the engine and dpf as two separate systems. No EGR, no VGT turbos, no derate, etc. On the Cummins Australia website they LITERALLY state they avoid EGR and VGT’s bc they’re unreliable and are inefficient components. It’s all about the money at the end of the day for the manufacturer and the EPA.

[@TheMacronical]

TBF those engines also use way more Adblue/DEF, than a traditional north American diesel emissions engine. Even still, run those hard & they'll last as long as the DPF will (including regular cleanings)

We sent C500's, X15 with SCR only to China, was weird to look at in a new truck. No egr cooler, bare on the right side of engine, looked like pre-emissions ISX. The export units you see there were likely ordered for a customer that cancelled them. Could be consignments from Paccint that are sitting on the lot, or the dealer got stuck with them if they ordered them, , maybe destination changed their rules and they couldn't be shipped. We had a C500 6x6 that was Ero 3, they chaneged to Euro 4 while it was being built, cust had paid for it though, took about 12-13 yrs to sell it, had some offers, cust rejected the offers.They could have stripped the engine out and used it for spares, cab trans, axles, susp was useable on 75 others that were already over there, they wouldn't do it.

It is not the same as diesel electric trains, the diesel is powered up full rpm to run the train not batteries like Edison is doing. Trains pull many more tons than a truck does.

@@flintcreektransport The new emissions standards take effect in 2027. The EPA has also mandated that manufacturers must provide a 450,000 mile warranty on the emissions system and the useful life of the truck is rated at 650,000 miles. Cummins and other engine manufacturers have been testing engines that meet the EPA 2027 for at least 2 years. When the EPA2010 rule came into effect most diesel manufacturers had zero experience with emissions systems. The main change with the EPA2027 rule is a further reduction of NOx.

All were pre emmisions cats were manual fuel systems. DD was electronic. At 65mph it got 7 mpg. Under 80,000 it push close to 8 mpg. Best thing I did was get out of woods hauling heavy.The 94 cat 435 would leak oil from the turbo.The t600 had small issue with the rubberflaring mounts over the fuel tanks.The 435 would leak a gallon a week. The DD had blow by but used no oil between 8000 mile oil changes. At 870,000 I brought it in to have the over run on it. When they saw the blow by. they they'd do an inframe overhaul. The engine had zero wear anywhere. The piston rings were lined up from a vibration causing the blow by. They only charged Me for the fluids. After that I've been sold on DD.

I bet these were specd for government trucks, they don't seem to fallow the laws they make.... almost like it's not good for general public🤔

[@flintcreektransport]

Maybe …. I didn’t even think about that …..

All these out of state companies and businesses need to stop kissing californias ass. California must honor legal compliance for out of state vehicles including CMV’s. They can not enforce their rules and regulations on your vehicle as long as it is compliant in your home state. Non permanent modifications or accessories is a different story such as rear detectors, but permanent features such as tint, exhaust etc are considered permanent and California has no jurisdiction to govern your vehicle that is registered in another state so as long as you yourself are not a resident of California.

Emissions in my view is a scam just another way for these big co-operation and the government to make money, they are the only one's who really benefit from trucking

Hopefully if Trump gets back in he will clip the EPA's nuts and let us have CAT motors again

[@lloydkuepfer1599]

Not going to happen. It didn't first time. Trump is definitely better for sure

Just go for electric trucks. All you have to do is call up an electrician from craigslist and have him install that 10 megawatt electric service with it's 10,000KVA pad mount transformer. On a serious note, is there an industrial version of the X15? You know there was a new John Deere industrial/ag engine that looked like it would work good in a truck. I was reading up on it last year, I'll have to look at it again. If you need engines, why aren't you just buying rebuildable cores and doing them in your shop? Don't get me wrong, I think you are quite on the ball about this. I just want to see what you have already explored. There are also some Cummins engines built under license in asia. I think some of them might be legacy designs. Not sure about restrictions on importing though.

This John Deere 14 liter JD14X (6136CI550) Industrial Diesel Engine 391-510 kW (525-684 hp) @ 2100 rpm Continuous, Heavy Duty, Intermittent There is also an 18 liter that makes 908 HP, but it weighs 4700 lbs

Its a good idea but to register trucks you cant have deleted trucks at least not in Ontario/Canada. I dont know much but i think rebuilding pre-emission engines is legal

[@joecummings1260]

@@Hockeygeek35 I don't know, maybe I misheard him, but it sounded to me like he wanted to buy x-15 pre-emission engines. I figured he had a plan on how he was going to use them in a truck.

[@flintcreektransport]

Correct. I think there are a b c and d rated engines.

Go to Mexico. Find a no emission truck you like. Drive it to the boder, claim you are seeking asylum. You are good to go...

[@flintcreektransport]
