Cabovers

Euro coes are very strong, this one from 98989 earlier in the thread shows a Volvo after coming off a bridge fully loaded, driver survived, http://www.jutarnji.hr/multimedia/archive/00500/kamion11_500905S0.jpg

 

really argosy was discontinued becouse DD11-13-15-16 (MB OM47X) engines do not fit it. In Europe Daimler HAD to make the new Actros MP4, it is new truck, like they made Cascadia for new engines.

New MP4 shares R'n'P steering, new tranny (Detroit transmission 12ST), axles (Mercedes-Detroit Axles) with MP4, but really MP4 is complicated and advanced truck, Cascadia is very simle and cheap comparing with MP4

 

We used to get the Argosy with Cat,Cummins and Detriot.
Now only 15L Cummins upto 620hp and 12.7 or 14l detroit up to 500hp.

as much i know FL australia and nz offer dd15 but that is euro5 version so no need for big cooling

 

Actually they do need the cooling. The new Argosies run a 1600sq inch radiator plus all the cooling passages/airflow through the engine bay. The dd15 here is the 560/1850tq EGR/dpf model.
