Cummins ISM Quick Sheet
The Cummins ISM is the alternative engine to the larger ISX for local and long haul applications. Although mostly seen in daycab tractors and vocational trucks, the ISM engine can also be found in large motorhomes and fire equipment. Designed as a replacment for the original M11 engine, the Cummins ISM began with the CM570 fuel system and progressed with the following:
1.) In 2002, upgraded to the CM875 fuel system which included an EGR valve for EPA emmission compliance.
2.) In 2007, upgraded to the CM876 fuel system. This fuel system still includes the EGR, but also added a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to conform to the new EPA standards.
