I wish they still made the big cams or at least the N14's. You are right, the cummins does get better fuel mileage, but i think the cat will out run and outlast a cummins. I would be proud to drive either an ISX or a C-15. I read a magazine article the other day in a trucking mag that said cummins and cat were rated highest in driver satisfaction and overall quality. So i don't think you can go wrong. Just stay away from those MBE mercedes and series 60 detroits. The new ones i heard are nothing but trouble.
Congrats on the rig ,. My dad has had pete all his life and mine.CAT is the best motor made besides the powerstroke. my dad has never had a problem with them. also like you said the cummins does get better miles per gallon but i think the cat will last longer and out pull a cummins
