Paccar engine question
I was just looking at Kenworths website and notice they offer only the PX-6 and 8 series engines on their T170, T270, and T370 series trucks. Does anyone know about these engines and what make and model the engine is based off of? I might be in the market to buy and was compairing them to the Intl 4300 series.

The Paccar MX Engine, which will be out in 2010, is based off the DAF engine.
The PX-8 and PX-6 are not. They are manufactured by Cummins. The PX-8 is based off the ISC Engine and the PX-6 is based off the ISB Engine. That is why you can get those serviced at either Peterbilt or Cummins dealerships. The PX-8 horsepower range is 240-330hp at 660-1000 lb-ft torque. The PX-6 horsepower range is 200-325hp at 520-750 lb-ft torque. Horsepower and torque ratings vary in the Peterbilt 330, 335, or 340.

Thank you very much. Any information is appreciated as I think a KW/Peterbilt is better than a International. Just my thoughts when it comes to those types of trucks.

I'm not familiar with the DAF engine. Is it presently in action only in Europe? Plans for any USA distributers other than Paccar?

The paccar MX engine is a 12.9 liter engine, 510hp and 1850lb-ft max power. They say 560hp down the road out of this engine. Im still not convinced.
