We are all Cummins ISB now since 2014 and these engines have proved themselves with very few problems and great reliability. Caterpillar, Mercedes and Navistar dropped out of the race in the medium duty market. They want zero emissions around 2020 so the challenge is on with current engine manufacturers. This engine has been out of production for a few years now because it could not keep up with EPA requirements. Why is it so large? Well the main reason was to circulate more cooled exhaust gases to the air intake system and reduce emissions to meet the demanding emission standards set by the EPA. As you can see the EGR cooler from this Navistar DT MaxxForce engine is massive and it weighs I'm guessing around 50 pounds.
