    Are you talking about Paccar trucks or the Paccar engine?

    Oh I know. I was poking some people in the ribs a little. In fact warranty work, in my experience anyway, usually means more downtime in general.

    I had a terrible experience with a Paccar engine also, along with countless others. The company advertises them as a great engine and people keep buying them regardless of the problems that plague them. I got rid of mine for a pre-emission engine as I don't think any of the modern engines are any good.
    I hope it gets better for you but I can't see it happening.
     
    TennMan Thanks this.

    It wasn't covered by warranty. I paid out of pocket. I've got 112k on the truck and warranty is 100k.

    It's a losing battle sometimes.
