ACCERT CAT serial BXS10781

There is a ton of good info already here about all the C-15's, but not one entire thread is designated to the serial number(MBN~BXS~MXS etc.). Click the search button up top, click "show posts" & dig around a bit in this section.

 

Mine is BXS 25450 in an 05 379. I took lots of advice from lots of smarter than me guys in threads in this forum. The engine has 723,000 miles on it. It uses 1 gallon of oil between 25,000 mile oil change intervals. Going 30,000 was a bit too long according to the sampling. It started out as a weak, fuel guzzling pig. It now runs very strong and gets 5.5 to 5.6MPG average running 64MPH pulling a 53 van. If I slowed down to 60 I'd get nearly 6 and with some areo mods even more. Pulling a flat or step it will get almost a mile per gallon more. I changed the fuel filter head and filter, mufflers, upped the fuel pressure, had the rack run by someone who knows how to put a bit of timing back into it with the settings and had a 550 brakesaver program that gave me a couple more degrees of timing back and with good numbers installed. My point is that these are excellent engines when a few cheap and easy mods are made. I know others who have more cash to spend on ECMs and tuners that will run circles around me and get better mileage doing it. Out of the box they are as piggy as everyone says they are.

 

out of curiosity Markvfl what boost is it pulling now?

 

57 LBS, more or less - maybe more if I ever revved it beyond 1500

 

BSX10781 was put into service in March 2004. The BXS serial number prefix was the 1st of the Acert motors. Later vintage units used MXS and NXS prefixes.
There is one open Cat service letter on this engine: PI10765 for replacing a VVA oil supply line. Approx. 4 hour job that Cat will cover in any authorized shop.
