How It Compares
| Compared with | What to consider |
|---|---|
| A rebuilt or used engine of the same rating | A rebuilt unit may show the same 910 kW (1220 HP) on paper, but its running history is unknown and the warranty rarely covers the whole engine. |
| A larger engine in the same KTA38 range | Moving up a frame size adds weight, envelope and fuel burn; specify the next size up only if the duty cycle really needs the headroom. |
| A non-Cummins engine of similar output | Parts and service for Cummins families are available in most markets, which matters more over ten years than the purchase price on day one. |
