    I'm very pleased with it. Mine is a 455 hp with 1650 ft lb, 13 speed with 3.08 rears. Going to be a little better than I expected on fuel when I specked it out.

    When our gas trucked break down(all the time), the loaners we get are petes with the paccar motors. I like em, but I just came out of a junky gas truck so a maxforce may would have even felt good. Lol

    I'll say it again. RUN AWAY! Nobody at Paccar will support you a minute after your warranty expires. Peterbilt and Kenworth dealers have very few Techs who know anything about these engines. Their solution to EVERYTHING is to throw parts at it till they fix it. Thats easy to do under warranty because Paccar is footing the bill, its not so nice when its your money.
