personally with the experience ive had with about 40-50 of these i would always go for anything BUT an A4, there were so many issues it wasnt even funny. But sometimes you do get lucky and find a gem out of all the junk

[h=1]I just picked up my M915A2 and drove it back to PA. Does anyone know where I could find an affordable Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link system...software and cable to interface with the engine?[/h]

Hi I have been using my M915a2 commercially...is there an easy way to cross reference the NSN part numbers with civilian sources? I have had problems getting the correct parts when needed.

Has anyone put a PTO on a M915a2 ? I was looking at the access point on the tranny and it doesn't look like there is enough room without moving the battery box and a bunch or other accessories

They should have put the newer DD15's in those trucks versus the 60 Series. The 60 is a terrible engine in terms of oil leaks, turbo failure, plus the jakes are alot weaker then anything Cummins/Jacobs ever produced together. they should have either put a DD15 or a nice single turbo C15 Cat in there and those trucks would motor!

I spent a long time working at a Western Star/Freightliner dealership and I was glad to see the 60 been updated with more modern, common rail solutions.

These trucks are at least a decade older than the DD15. I suppose the A5 could've had a DD15, but it also has the Series 60.

Should be available at a local truck salvage yard. You would need the tag number off it. Or call TruckPro they have shops all over.

Help!
Does anyone know where I can find a flywheel housing for the M915a2. I think it is pretty generic on the 60 Series Detroit but I wasn't sure if it different since it meshes up with the Allison tranny instead of a Fuller or Eaton transmission?
