Maxx Engines in International's.

Your assumptions are correct..run away...fast...

They are waiting on the next unsuspecting sucker (YOU!) to pick one up on a "sweet deal"

You do not want to mess with a Junkforce.

i almost quit my job as a company driver in 2010 because i was stuck in one that was so bad

low miles means 3/4 of its life was spent at the shop

stay away

I don't think they are CARB compliant for California either.

read the 2nd post here, how the CEO of International thought his Mexican piece of crap was going to be a huge hit, and he tried to slap owner operators in the face by calling them obsolete.

 

The engines have problems like the Mercedes. The binders have wiring issues. The line is long at the dealer for service and many times they can't fix it.....

I know of a major fleet whom forced binder to take back over 100 units as they spent more time on the hook or in the shop than rolling.

Personally I loved my 14 until she showed her egr arse then the fight was on. It had a 475 Maxx / 10 and it was a horse, when it ran.....fortunately it was someone else's problem.....when it didn't.

 

Don't do it. They are junk that's why they are almost giving them away....

 

The engines are crap as well as the emissions system. Drive into the back lot of an International dealer where they park all the trucks waiting for service. You'll see a whole lot of Maxxforce equipped trucks waiting to get worked on.

Don't buy one. Go with the Cascadia or a Volvo

 

Maxxforce engines are based on MAN engines, total rubbish, stay well clear

 

So buy one, we need some more interesting threads to read, maybe we'll all chip in for a box of Kleenex for you. I don't really care just make sure you pull off the road when you break down so your not in anyone's way.

 

I went and looked at an International with a rebuilt MaxForce engine. It had 20 miles on the rebuild so I thought this is a great deal...When I went to check it out and it had about 400k original miles on the odometer. The first thing that popped into my head was that was way to early for a rebuild so I did more research and EVERYONE I asked said run away from the MaxForce engines... Do some real research and youll find that the good deal on the truck will cost you more money in the long run.

 

If you buy one good luck keeping the warn/check engine light off. Where I use to work had 6 and from the time they where delivered until they closed that terminal down the warn lights where on
