Navistar discontinues MaxxForce 15

It is about time they bring back the Cummins. As a result, I expect existing carriers that have problems with their MaxxForce engines to buying Cummins equiped Prostars like hotcakes. Now if only International would revive the Scout and put it back in production.

So here is the next problem... Since International has been pushing the MF line and dropped Cummins a few years ago, not too many techs have been trained up on the newer Cummins series. SCR is all new to us now since Int'l chose to focus on EGR only. Now we will all have to scramble to get our Cummins certs updated.

 

lol yup, there's a meeting next week friday about all this for the dealers. I know i'll be going to cummins training because of the fleets I take care of are spec'ing ISX15's. Our dealer is already cert. because we're a pete dealer.

 

Too bad. I wanted a lonestar with a cummins! Not that I'm complaining my 780 is real comfortable!

 

I asked our salesman today about the Cat truck. They were supposed to be using the MF15 too. As far as he knew they don't have another one at this time. The Cat truck sales have been weak aswell. It may be possible the MF15 is done, but so is the Cat truck. There is a salesman conference call on Tuesday, hopefully we will get some more details and I will let you guys know!

 

I take a great deal of pleasure in cats ongoing truck debacle !!! Maybe they can paint a cummins yellow ha ha !

 

International is nothing but junk anyways. Why would a carrier go back after all the grief they got with their Maxxforce engine? I don't know why International thought they would do better by just offering their own engines. They might repower older Maxxforce engines with something different, we don't know. If those motors are that bad, I mean the article paints a picture that way.

 

I would laugh so hard to see a cummins engine in a CAT truck

I'd like to see the engine manufacturers have more choices. Detroit should offer to have their stuff in others vehicles.

 

I agree. It'd be nice to go buy a truck and have an actual choice. One thing I like about Freightliner is they offer both Detroit and cummins. At least the Detroit's are a lot better as far as reliability compared to paccar or maxxforce. Our cascadias have barely been in the shop while our prostars had to have a tech from international come and diagnose each one.
