The ABC's of engines

[LDB]

It's important to remember the ABC's of engines to have a successful expediting career. They are:

Always Buy Cummins
Anything But Caterpillar
Always Boycott Caterpillar

I'll have to agree with you!

I'd agree if the N-14 was an option.

Tell that to the team that just bought a left over 2012 and have had it in the shop numerous times. This is the second cummins, the first one, the one they made the dealer take back was an 08 and they spent 12k on that one in 3 mo. Trying to keep it running. So it's not just cat. Cummins has not stood by there warranty on the new one they bought.

Wasn't an N-14 in an 08.
The ISX is a nightmare. I know nothing of the small blocks. ISC maybe ?
Cummins didn't do much better than Navistar on the new technology.

I think Daimler and Volvo did okay because this stuff has been in Europe for years.

The Europeans suffered the learning curve.

 

[Dynamite 1]

They were both the little ISC's, I think that is the right designation for them.

Can still get one in a glider.

I know a large fleet owner doing very well with the Fitzgerald Gliders. 53' TT operation.

I looked at doing a glider in 2004. Then the first guy that looked at my truck wanted it NOW and had the money.
It's hard to pay new truck money for a not new truck.
Makes more sense now than it did then.
