    No, the MBN was the worst CAT motor ever made. The ACERT is actually a very good engine once you have it tuned.... and the MBN is probably the best engine once you have it tuned (that's what I got)

    I Agree on all accounts.. but some people are afraid to "modify" any thing. so I dont know what the OP had in mind,
    was just throwing out a blanket statement.

    I would look forther into the dealer with the shaker. They have a decent looking volvo with a 13 speed listed for 33k, if that's your thing.

    Gotta remember a 10k truck could have just as many problems as a 80k truck.

    I got a B motor Cat in a Freightliner. I put it there. I like the 60 Detroit in them myself. Nice motor.
