• Low Maintenance Costs.  Greater reliability with fewer parts.

Performance
The new Cummins technology now has over 1 billion miles of proven performance. We're so confident in the performance of this engine, we're giving an Uptime Guarantee.

• The ISB's Variable Geometry Turbocharger increases responsiveness on all ratings of 245 hp and above.
• Quieter Operation - The rear gear train design reduces engine noise significantly.
• New High Pressure Common-Rail (HPCR) fuel system maintains high injection pressure.
• Runs up to 7 decibels quieter at idle. That's 80% less noise, inside and out.
• Exceptional Power-to-Weight-Ratio - With ratings up to 275 hp and 660 lb-ft of peak torque, from an engine that weighs less than 1,200 lb.
• Clean, Efficient Combustion - 24 valves (4cylinder) with centered fuel injection help ensure complete combustion for maximum efficiency and reduced emissions.
• Coolant flow has been optimized and balanced to reduce cylinder temperature.
• The stiffened engine block enhances durability and reducing noise.
• Improved compression braking from an Integrated Exhaust Brake. For the Dodge Ram the Jacobs Exhaust Brake is available.
• Fully integrated electronic controls using Cummins ECM provide increased performance from all subsystems.

Fuel Economy
The ISB delivers up to 2% better fuel economy than its predecessor.

• ISB uses fuel that is readily available - unlike competitive diesels that may need expensive, ultra-low sulfur fuels 
• No expensive aftertreatment add-ons like a catalyzed soot filter
• Cummins PowerSpec, the online tool that describes each engine feature, gives recommended settings and lets you modify and optimize operation of your Cummins engines. 
• Cooled EGR low emission technology provides the best fuel economy alternative.
• Onan's Comfort Guard System is a totally integrated two-cylinder diesel-powered Onan® generator that powers all your auxiliary power needs. This adds up to a savings of 8.5% in fuel costs every year.
• Improve mpg even further, get RoadRelay™ 4, the in-cab monitor that helps drivers improve their own skill level.

Low Maintenance Costs
The ISB provides a more advanced design while maintaining a simpler and more versatile design over it's competition.

• Lower Operating Costs - Thanks to long maintenance intervals combined with a simplified design.
• QuickCheck III allows you see what your engine readings are so there are no more surprises.
