    We just had one of our 2014 Kenworth T680 tractors with the MX13 eat it's #2 injector, essentially destroying the #2 cylinder.

    MX13 isnt a problem if you travel with 2 mechanics and a trailer with a mobile shop in it :laughing-guffaw:

    I'm a big fan of the t680, it's helped me to make a number of new friends.

    A couple of service truck guys, service writers at the local kw dealer, and the mechanic who gave me his personal cell phone number so I could call him at night when the truck started acting up in ways that he simply could not reproduce.

    The air conditioner compressor blowing up at 45,000 miles and taking out my serpentine belt and throwing my truck into panic mode was a nice touch. Luckily I was 1/4 mile away from home base so I managed to avoid a tow.

    450 HP but not enough torque to back it up IME, and if the engine light aint on, then the bulb needs replaced.

    Actually, that one isn't the engine light, it's the emissions light. The engine one only comes on every few thousand miles.
