Cummins N14 
Displacement: 14.0 Liters

The N14 was perhaps Cummins most durable engine. Based on the 855 Cummins specifications, the base engine design had been improved upon since the 1970's. Cummins computerized the engine in 1991 with the Celect electronic controls, and updated the engine to Celect Plus in 1995. The engine was "phased-out" in 2000 due to stringent EPA regulations.


isx

ISX Displacement: 14.9 Liters

The ISX engine is the replacement for the N14. This engine is proving to be as durable, with more electronic controls designed to make the engine more effecient. The ISX is the mainstream engine for most Cummins powered "over the road" applications.
