What engine with DEF is having the least amount of problems?

You are right, i said trucks. I should have been more specific. Guess i figured everyone was smart enough to know that without the cat engine it's not a real cat. To me that's like buy a fiber glass ferrari body kit and bolting in a fiero driveline.

Fyi, cat does sell those exact same trucks with real cat engines. They just aren't allowed on the roads here.

 

Well yes, Cat did start offering gliders set up for 3406E and C15 engines......but now they don't offer any trucks. The Cat truck is no more.
And now the new International HX that replaced the Paystar uses the same dash and interior as the Cat truck.

 

Umm what? Caterpillar had never been a glider dealer. Several other companies sell gliders with cats in them but I've never even heard of caterpillar themselves selling a glider.

 

I traded it off back in May on a Cascadia. The Star was definitely a solid truck, just over three years on our rough Saskatchewan roads and it still didn't rattle or squeak. But it was also a rough ride that was getting to me, the Cascadia is a softer ride plus I put in a Bose Ride seat.

 

Yes, they announced it just a couple months or so before they dropped the bomb and said they were ceasing production. Only strange part was whereas you could get say a Western Star glider with a reman engine, my local Cat dealer (Toromont) told me I had to have my own donor engine. You would think they would have wanted to sell you an engine.
Anyway I priced it out and it was the exact same price as buying a new one when it was all said and done. But I didn't have a donor anyway.

 

They're actually quite a number of differences. I'd say they probably aren't the same.
