Paccar Engine(s)

Winning an argument on the internet is like winning in the Special Olympics...

You still only beat a bunch of re t ard s and everyone leaves thinking they won.

 

Actually daf was a pretty ok engine before paccar, the old 2800's etc were a pretty alright truck in their day. I sincerely hope they improve, the biggest problem with them for me was absolutely no backup service, by contrast I stuck primarily to Scania cos of an unbelievable service, basically your truck back on the road in 24hrs or they give u a replacement, they will put parts for older trucks on the warranty of newer trucks ( often the newer one doesn't have to be yours ) Volvo here were very good too, but hand-on-heart I spent about $22,000 on those dafs in the first year, I admit mostly on towing bills cos paccar doesn't pay towing but why should you be towing new trucks?

This is not a peeing competition for me, this has been my experience with these engines, I don't wish anyone bad luck with them, I just don't wish anybody the hardship I got, like u said, not for o/o's , fine for big companies here like Nolans who do their own Maintenance with full backup from the factory. But no, not for small operators to gamble on just yet!

 

So you are praising dealers who fiddle with warranties.
You should also not forget to mention that when the dealer does that,the real owner ,who is unaware off this scam,loses part off his warranty.
Should the real owner be so unfortunate to have the same part break on his truck and it has to be fixed by another dealership,he will be the one who loses.

No it hasn't been your experience as you have had to admit yourself:YOU NEVER OWNED A PACCAR ENGINE.

First wrong statement in this reply from our Irish member.
Nolan doesn't own 600 Daf's it is 450(you should check their website)

Second wrong statement is in the numbers sold.
In 2007 Daf sold 756 trucks which didn't make them the top selling truckmaker.
Which was inline with their normal marketshare
In fact Scania was with 831.
(before you make your uncorrect statements,you might want to check more objective websites)
My numbers come from The Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) website.
Which BTW show that Daf has held it's position over the years,from 2003 to now.
Marketshare has remained the same in that 11 year timespan.(constant between 11% and 13%)

Third wrong statement
Daf sold allready 102 truck this year , so where the 3 comes from???

I could go on but i won't.

Conclusion.

The member from Ireland hates Paccar which is his right.

He likes to sling mud,makes incorrect statements which are pointed out to him.
He then tries to correct himself with more false statements and innuendo.
This is what i have a problem with.


What surprises me is that the people who attack the Paccar engines the most NEVER have owned one.

I try to give honest and correct replies on this website.
If i don't know something i will ask.
BUT i cannot stand it when somebody tells lies or doesn't tell the full story.
I will even defend Volvo's if lies are told about them and i really hate Volvo's.
(as our EU Volvo COE have a crappy ride)
If i offended some people in defence off this,i apologise(unless the person offended is the one who posted the lies in the first place)



To those who don't like the Paccar engines,don't buy them.
They aren't for you,you will hate them.

 

Son of a B.....

Cant you two clowns just let it go????????? ####!!!

 

I call that a backup service and no the owner won't lose out, it's not paccar you're dealing with!

Yes I owned 2 dafs, 03TN1623 and 03TN2563, that's a bold statement to make considering you don't know me!

The Nolan website makes no mention of how many dafs they have, the actual number of trucks they are running under the Nolan name is just over 500 (no matter what the website says) that includes a handful of ivecos, volvos and Mercedes, it makes no mention of the approx 30 new unregistered dafs parked on the fethard road yard nor does it mention other companies in the group

The problem with sites like SIMI is that the figures are very distorted due to the fact it doesn't take into account the new trucks purchased abroad, alot of haulers here will buy new trucks on the continent and register them abroad before registering them here here to avoid paying vrt and vat, and before you go blowing about that's illegal our local daf dealer buys them to order from kel-berg and turbo hoet.

I meant to say 3 "XF's" apart from Nolans and breens who buy directly from the importer, slightly intoxicated at the time I apologize
They sell alot of CF's to distribution companies like dennigans etc

Don't know what you can dislike about the Volvo , a couple of simple mods fixes the ride, they are endlessly reliable and cheap to buy and run, what more would you need?

Conclusion: (haha love that)

Don't try find all your answers on the Internet especially when you don't understand how things work in another country,
I don't hate anyone, I even like you, you're cute in a silly way! Lol
Don't you think you're even slightly bias towards daf/paccar? Problems with daf are well known and it doesn't stop at excessive oil consumption, heads are known to warp and crack, valves dropping, headgasket problems, gearbox issues, valve problems, compressor problems and the apu valve beside the compressor that causes the brakes to lock on without warning ( i believe a recall issue in Australia but a problem strenuously denied here in Europe)
Daf do great deals for large fleets hence their great sales figures but once the lease is up all they are good for is export, there are very few dafs on the road here older than 2006

This issue is truely done!!

 

The strange thing is that you have yet to find a wrong statement i have made.
Sadly not the same can be said for you.



I gladly yield to others to post their views ,good or bad, off the Paccar engines.

 

Fangio you knob ! Lol

It's not just my experience with them either, maybe you can yield to someone more qualified than both of us: http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...lers/127952-pacar-mx-engine-fuel-mileage.html

 

Read the last post in that thread.

 

You clowns prove that this is a true statement...

 

Good find.


But if Scaniaman and me didn't post in this thread,it would be dead which.......................some might not find a bad idea.
