I need your help ...... I found a 07 Vision with a MP-7., has 280.000 miles on it and looks good. Problem is it has swallowed a valve and of course doesn't run but truck is priced cheap.
And that's my problem, I smell a rat and the seller is being coy. I own a Mack already so I know parts are high BUT I also know I could set a remack engine in here ( if needed ) for X dollars and still be under the trucks book value and I'm sure the seller does too.
What's the story on the MP-7 ? Tell me your experience . Is it a DEF motor? A POS boat anchor?
Tks....

No, real coy. Won't talk about why he didn't fix it either. Based on what was said here and what i read elsewhere I'm going to pass. ( I did put 10k on the table just for grins, don't think I can get hurt from there )
If he bites I could always stuff an E-7 or something else in there if I had to with that kind of room.

Swallowed a valve because he did an improper valve adjust most likely. Common when done wrong. Thing is, usually will need a cam.
The MP7 is in a lot of LEs, MRs, and MRUs. 90% of these are used in sanitation so they are commonly used engines. My shop takes card of a lot of them. Most common problem is the $40 flame temp sensor in the catalyst. Otherwise no engine issues. -
He didn't bite the ten....now with the cam knowledge I'm glad i stayed short on the price. Also explains why he didn't fix it. I did a cam on a Cummins some years back and it was no picnic.
Thanks Shaggy....
