Cummins M-11

[Don Bradner]

If you look at this picture from last fall at the factory:
http://www.arcatapet.net/travel/images/v...G_6356.jpg all are Cummins
ISX, but the ones with red covers are 450HP and the ones with chrome are 600HP.
The former for transit busses, and the latter for Wanderlodges. I suspect they
were also without and with cruise controls because of application, but I suspect
there is no cause/effect relationship between cruise and power.
