International Prostar with Maxxforce 13

would it be a good motor after the 3500 to 6000 just asking i don't have one but the price is good on them

 

I have a mid roof 2012 Prostar with a MF13 with about 316,000 miles. Electric APU. Warranty. New brakes and shoes all round. Virgin steers and drives 85%. Hauled local tanker. DPF and DOC baked/cleaned. PM'd fully. All work orders performed through Navistar . Going otr getting a new truck 13'6 for Reefer. Looking to sell within the next month or so.

 

Better get a Detroit or Cummins

 

no thanks.

 

Sounds like I am the only one have the ProStar with MX13 engine over 800k miles .......

This truck had a lot of problems. But more problem to the dealership. If they can fix the truck faster.....

 

Last couple of weeks my engine light comes on and lose power, won't pull a hill. At first thought it was bad fuel, had fuel filter changed. Light will go off and power is back to normal, after several hundred miles, the light comes on and drops power again. Any suggestions?

 

Connect to the computer and see what's the code first .....

 

Check all fluid levels. If low or sensor bad it will derate engine.

 

If it ran well after a fuel filter change, that's good indicator it is the fuel. Did you look in the tanks with a bright light and siphon a sample out? You may have algae in there.
