Paccar engine question

They are eurpean DAF truck engines, PACCAR owns them, thats all i can tell you.

 

The Paccar MX Engine, which will be out in 2010, is based off the DAF engine.
The PX-8 and PX-6 are not. They are manufactured by Cummins. The PX-8 is based off the ISC Engine and the PX-6 is based off the ISB Engine. That is why you can get those serviced at either Peterbilt or Cummins dealerships. The PX-8 horsepower range is 240-330hp at 660-1000 lb-ft torque. The PX-6 horsepower range is 200-325hp at 520-750 lb-ft torque. Horsepower and torque ratings vary in the Peterbilt 330, 335, or 340.

 

I guess that's going to replace the CAT's after 2010 , Its gonna tough not to see that bright yellow paint under a extended hood KW/Pete after 2010.

 

I'm not familiar with the DAF engine. Is it presently in action only in Europe? Plans for any USA distributers other than Paccar?

 

The paccar MX engine is a 12.9 liter engine, 510hp and 1850lb-ft max power. They say 560hp down the road out of this engine. Im still not convinced.

 

I'd have to paint it yellow.

 

Hard to believe an engine as sucessful as a Cat is going away. All over this d*mn "green" hysteria! Guess the value of those will only go up!

 

So will parts prices one day too.
