no sorry haven't had any direct info on it. but looks like its got alot of european styling points to the engine engineering. like it shares some characteristics of the MBE 4000, which I am not a fan of the MBE's myself btw.

I see that they use them in the U.S as well as Europe.

We had terrible luck with the new cummins and we're looking to trade to a Pete with the new DAF motor. But I can't find anyone who has actually driven one or worked on one to get their opinion. All the company info makes them sound like the best thing since sliced bread, but we also heard that same thing about the Cummins we have and it has been a POS from the day we got it. They don't make em like they used to.

I don't know if its just me but I always get disappointed when I see a cool looking truck and then notice it has those goofy emissions stacks. The DPF makes it inferior to other trucks IMO.

our company has run a couple test motors if i remember correctly it was a toss up the only ones i have seen personally were scattered on the floor getting rebuilt or heads with very low miles the isx is a strong piece but every manufacturer has a few problems are these problems cummins fault is the driver defeating the regen and not letting it regen this will cause major problems for the motor we currently run some petes w/ the latest cat and haveing major issues with them to
