Cummins Inc. announced it is remanufacturing ISX engines on a new production line at the San Luis Potosi, Mexico, plant.

Unlike rebuilt or reconditioned engines, every ReCon ISX is completely disassembled, thoroughly inspected, remanufactured and tested on the production line to verify that it meets factory specifications, the company said. Materials and components are upgraded to the latest technology using only genuine Cummins new or ReCon parts, which include a one-piece forged-steel piston, a new one-piece head gasket for better coolant control, a flat-top induction-hardened cylinder liner for better cylinder sealing, and an improved piston pin and lubrication for longer life-to-overhaul.

Originally introduced in 1998, the Cummins ISX features dual overhead camshafts and an integrated engine brake that is capable of developing 600 braking horsepower. Best-in-class fuel economy and low maintenance have made the ISX a popular choice among trucking fleets and owner/operators, the company said.

A two-year/200,000-mile warranty is offered. Extended coverage plans are available. Current production is limited to engines produced between 1998 and October 2002. ISX engines with the cooled-EGR subsystem will start to become available in the first quarter of 2007.
