Please forgive my ignorance about Cummins engines. What is the difference between the ISX and the ISM (and I think there is also an ISL)? What do those letters actually stand for?

Are the larger engines best matched with dual tandems or still OK with single axle conversions (a la onezman)?

Thanks.
