SHOP PROJECT

Cummins ISX → CAT C15 repower

One of our mechanics tackled a complete engine swap on a Peterbilt — pulling the worn-out 15-liter Cummins ISX and dropping in a fresh CAT C15. Below: the truck on day one with the ISX out on the floor, and the finished install with the CAT mounted and plumbed.

After — CAT C15 mounted, plumbed and ready for tuning.

What the job involved

  • Removed the original 15-liter Cummins ISX from a Peterbilt
  • Cleaned and prepped the chassis, frame rails and engine bay
  • Installed a rebuilt CAT C15 with fresh paint and updated accessories
  • Adapted mounts, cooling, exhaust and air intake to the new powerplant
  • Re-routed wiring harness, fuel and air lines for the CAT ECM
  • Tuned, road-tested and returned the truck ready to work
