They have Cummins rated at 450 Horse and 1700 lbs of torque and a 10 speed trany
I'm pretty sure all KW's were being speced the same. In Calif. we get the 450hp engines and they haven't ever pulled triples
Gotta love when your trying to get to highway speed off a on ramp and the "computer" will not let the truck accelerate.viknguy
When we first got these ISX Cummins 450 hp, and before they started adding all these EGR stuff, we used to have so much power that you could spin your tires and brake loose if you stomped on it too hard.
They have been backing off the power little by little over these last few years. Mostly for fuel efficiency.
The computer on this engine is supposed to compensate for when you are loaded real heavy and give you more power.

When I take a day run (if I do) , then my horse will go in the shop to get the power evaluated. Right now with triples I pull Sexton and Canyonville in 6th, in the teens! The more smog they put on, the worse they run. My 1710,1711,and 1712 all got in 6.5-7 mpg range, even pulling triples, with good power!
I glad you put this out here ..... cap and trade .... we suffer and they take up the slack ...ol' man
That had to be before 2002, and all the extra smog control EGR technology that was added. Sacrificing a lot of fuel mileage to gain less smog, that is being made up by China and India.

I think jakebrake12 was asking about these new East version trucks.
Since they only pull two trailers they may only have them spec'd for 330 HP.
