Is that a tag axle coach?

Carl 

Yes it is.  It's the Signature.  Tag was Standard 

Tag Axle with Anti-Lock Braking System

Factor, DD60, 515 is a good engine.  So is the Cummins 500 ISL.  Don't worry or be impressed by HP & 100 Ft. Lbs, bigger the HP=$ at pump.  Also, a 525 will get to max torque about 10 seconds before the 500.

The only problem with buying used is you may need to look a long time to find that optional configuration. I think I am going to see how a Cummins ISM 450 with 1500 lbs./ft of torque workes out just for the fun of it.

Bill, if you find that engine,  let me know!  The 425 gets 1,550 torque...the 450 is  1,450 and the 500 is 1,550!

The M11 evolved into the ISM & it was built up to 2010.  Mine is the 2009, 425 HP!

For sure and I am not stuck on an engine or a model currently.  @WILDEBILL308 Are you looking for different coach currently?

I will need the serial number to accurately verify what the Cummins website says. They show the 450 and 500 ISM at the same torque.

I have a 2008 Monaco Executive with the 525HP ISX with 135K miles. What can I do to make sure I don't have a failure from the valves or fuel injector pump on the road? Can I replace the head/valves with a rebuilt? Can the injector pump ceramic problem be preemptively fixed?

YES, you can call Cummins with your engine serial number and see if you have the problematic pump. If so they can recommend a place to have it swapped with the updated design

I am trying to build a list of people who have had a valve failure or are concerned they may in the future. Please post here or message me if you can.

This is a open Forum, it's recommended that you don't list your personal phone or work #!  Ask anyone to send you a PM instead...jleamont is an excellent contact for info!

The list is already long! :ph34r: I have the new and improved version of the 600, to my knowledge, Cummins don't make the 650 anymore!   As RayIn  said, but that's only one out off 100 or perhaps a thousand, that you never will hear about. :wacko:🤬
