    No, not black! That's the Paccar MX-13's colour!

    The actual motor doesn't look anything like the promotional material Paccar shows on the internet and in their brochures. You couldn't detect any oil leaks on one of these things:

    Here's a better picture of the driver's side. Just imagine having to trace down a short in a wiring harness.

    Haven't seen much issue with oil leaks on them and have a couple over the 800,000 mile mark. Most wiring issues I have had has been aftertreatment harnesses. The encapsulated wiring harness seems to be holding up well.

    I think the old white that Paccar used to paint all their engines would be a good choice.

    Is there any engine somewhere under all that ancillary crap?
    This would be more fun. :cool:
