Hello again folks. My last post advertised the sale of my existing engine and transmission. Does anyone have ideas or counsel on what to replace them with? I'd like to get 9 or 10 mpg if possible, with turbo and jake brake. I'd also like an automatic transmission so my wife could take the wheel from time to time. Thanks in advance!

Cummins ISL at 425hp and 1250lb/ft torque with Allison 3000 series transmission. Then you'll be good for the smog device changes in the future. Good Luck, TomC | ||

I'd be careful about what you say...my understanding is that nothing on todays market will satisfy the upcoming regs. | ||

.how about a good new fashion civil evolution based on common sense & not individual agendas based on get rich schemes, DG ? Often is a money trail leading up to the paper trail that motivates these idiot competitive new regs , every time I look deep & wide ! ..just my way of civil emancipation towards a balanced approach of accountability over authority. ... where is that off topic/out of bounds bad bus nut jar anyhow ? -would be my example of careful enough !or opp time to walk the dogs, before they stop waking me & start in on the laptop, I am so bad , bad human , bad boy. Hope them regulators haven't placed a carbon tax on ranting (here in BC yet), just like last years first stage of the incremental carbon tax , on all energy sources ? Yet they got another term, as if voting would make a difference as to which scammer was making the game rules up next ! | ||

Current Cummins engines- the 6.7 liter ISB, the 8.3 liter ISC, and the 8.9 liter ISL are going to be continued in their present form into the new 2010 regulations with Urea exhaust fluid injection (additional "muffler" that converts nitrous oxides into nitrogen and water with the injection of Urea). Currently there are no kits to convert these engines, but I'm confident that by 2014-the date where many older engines will expire (including the 3406B in my truck), there will be conversion kits or reprogammings for these engines. The ISM is being discontinued-replaced by the ISX 11.9 liter, and the current ISX is being redesigned from a dual overhead cam to a single overhead cam (since the extra cam is no longer needed because of the new common rail injection system) engine. Detroit's Series 60 and Mercedes-Benz 4000 engine are both going away at the end of the year in favor of the new Detroit DD13, DD15, DD16 spanning 350hp @ 1250lb/ft to 600hp @ 2050lb/Ft torque. Good Luck, TomC | ||

BC had kicked about the idea of making older engines (from 98 onwards) upgrade to 2007 emission standard by "simply" adding a catalytic system. Just four bolts according to those with eyes on the new carbon fuel tax revenue (stand in line with the rest of the bureaucratic scammers). They did managed to cause the school boards to comply , no doubt as a test case for taxing authority as it can easily be added onto school taxation with the property taxes. Needless to say the those school districts that complied, did so by leasing new school buses, with the old , not wore out ones going to some leasing company & not for public auction, as was the normal way. Wonderful that we have these wonderful decision makers acting in there own best interest as they are such knowledgeable masters. You can tell by their easy money gigs for them & there syndicates coming strait out of everyone's pockets. hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmff. |
