Need help understanding "New" codes in Paccar engine.

smart decision .

 

Well, that Paccar trash is powering the best selling tractors in Europe, so I suppose soemthing must be good about them.

 

Our lease fleet has switched from cummins to paccar. Less operating costs and maintence costs. No carbon packing, fuel in the coolant, or pressurizing. We have opened up very few paccar engines compared to cummins.

 

how many miles single truck make in a year in Europe ? i have friends in trucking business in Germany and they say after 600-700k km best of the best European engine needs major repairs.
one engine can be good for Europe and be troublemaker for USA. mx-13 is for sample.

 

Mhyn,your statement has a big flaw in it.
You look at mileage which does nothing to show the wear on a engine.
Hours is the way to compare combined with where and how the truck was used.

 

Except for Cummins, which US truck engine manufacturers are still around?

 

ok let's go by hours. How many hours yearly?

 

That happened because of our government. Don't even think that ####ty dd15 or MX-13 are better than series 60 or cats...

 

Explain that please, the government thing I mean.

 

Is this allowed in the US? I'm sure it would be very illegal in Europe.

Fist of all, that is a very important change to the truck, so it would be necessary to get a new certification.

Originally it would have been a Euro V truck, after this modification it would be something like a Euro I truck. You would never get it certified.

So after this modification, the truck would no longer be road-legal.

The truck has to be checked for road wordiness every year by a certified dealer, and this includes environmental checks. No escape there.
