MaxxForce Diesel Engine Field Test Results

[MrVejz]

maxforce sucks!!!

[studdmaster07]

i like loud always use my jakebrake lol

[bykashka75]

With MAxxforce engine i have 300 LBS less then good reliable engine. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror. You are fat pig, go on the diet and you will see a weight saving of 300 LBS and keep a good old engine and not this PAPER BLOCK BUILT PIECE OF TRASH. Stop bending yourselves for the government, you spineless twats

[MisterFlaherty]

I have a Maxxforce in a 2010 Prostar, and I can barely pull loaded up a 6% grade at 35 MPH. I get about 5.5 mpg fuel economy.

But, it is quiet I guess...lmao. Oh, and it has 23,000 miles and already needs a throwout bearing, a new axle seal, and is missing the storage bin in the sleeper.

[stevesai]

so this is a European block ?

[426hemiscamp]

CAT

[426hemiscamp]

the whole bottom half is a Car , the head and system Is International. its supposed to be a real good engine and one of the best in fuel economy

[lindsman68]

Correct, they are not Daf engines, the big bore is based on the MAN D20. Daf supplies crappy Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks with euro engines.

[TheLindsman68]

@SomeRandomFeller Sorry to inform you my friend that Paccar's new MX engine is based on the European produced DAF engine. Unfortunately PACCAR has not had access to Detroit for awhile and CAT is not producing truck engines anymore so it's either Cummins or the DAF engine for PACCAR customers.

[creamyfilling102]

oh man,,i drive lumber truck out of menards, and i saw one of those checking out of the guard shack as i was walking into work..god damn it was quiet. he drove off and i couldn't even hear it if i wasn't actualy looking at it drive away.

[maplemanz]

the larger motors are in fact european Daf engines used for the North american market.

[lostone4711]

well like all thses companys will not keep there hands out of it and soon it will be cut back to di 62 mph trying to save even more money

[68chevelletoy]

This contraption has 4 rads on it...imagine hitting a deer or moose with that, could be very costly!!!

How can one engine manufacturer build a massive EGR engine with tons of heat (Currently a huge problem with all engine manufacturer's) and everyone else accross the globe decided it was a better ides to go with Urea? I guess all the other engine builder's are idiots and don't know what they are doing...

[cstishenko]

They are trying too hard to sell the product.

[Mexpanda001]

the quietness LOL they must have said that like 20 times

[JohnyB59]

@Mexpanda001 Thats because their trucks are always broke down

[cranemaninamerica]

everything i have said below regards the retard xiber1

[watchman1980]

A diesel is supposed to clatter!!!

[insideout444]

OK for a start this isn't a new engine!!!! Its a MAN engine and has been used in Europe for quite some time. Love the way INT try to make it sound like its there own!!!

[snowbell37]

and you can buy a internashnal loan star with a 550 170htousand and thats cheap shut the fuck up!

[TheSnake1588]

The new bus I ride to school has that engine and it's kinda loud.

[aarendas]

sorry, your bus doesnt have that engine in it...

[ytfan81]

I think what the snake meant was that his bus had either a Maxxforce 7 or a Maxxforce DT466.

[Xiber1]

I hate trucks, they should expand the use of railways and rely less and less on diesel polluting trucks

[Vista0009]

If you think trucks are the reason for high gas prices you've got to be the stupidest person on earth...

[Xiber1]

You obviously lack comprehension or are hard of understanding, read again what I said. I never mentioned gas prices, I mentioned the pollution caused by diesel trucks.

[Vista0009]

Well trains emitt pollution too so I don't see the difference it'll make. And heres a question: How are you going to get goods to walmart on a train? I've never seen train tracks leading there before have you?

[Xiber1]

one diesel locomotive pulling 25 containers would obviously pollute less than 25 diesel tractors pulling a single 40 foot long container. They can have train depots where the trucks would load and deliver locally to stores within towns instead of long haul diesel trucks thundering down the highways and freeways over long distances, and cross country.Trains should be used for that purposes like in most countries.

[FMF666]

shut it hippie! go roll a doober!

[Xiber1]

get lost you hillbilly fag

[FMF666]

instead of raising hell regarding topics you know nothing about, other than spouting off Diesels pollute more! No Shit! I will tell you one thing my friend have you read into the advancements in Diesel emissions reduction? If you had you would see that CATERPILLAR, CUMMINS, MERCEDES, AND INTERNATIONAL. Have all made advancements in the field. IE urea injection and or new exhaust gas recirculation tech. Newer smaller turbos with variable valving etc...

Sincerely,

-Dumbass Hillbilly

[Xiber1]

VW Turag TDI has been rated the most pollution causing passenger vehicle sold in US.

Mercedes nor BMW import any of their diesel vehicles because it does not meet the emission standards in most states. Mercedes pulled of their diesel Blue Tech sedan off the market last year.

[FMF666]

Fucknut bullshit! read jalopnik, the blue tech or whatever the fuck its called Mercedes is naw back on the market! and fuk off ass ho ley o! its people like you who have fucked up the US fucking hippie!

[Xiber1]

you're just a semi literate hillbilly retard, you know nothing about nothing......go drink a beer and smoke a joint or something, talking to ignorants like you is like talking to a wall

[bladebdd]

Go fuck off, Xiber.

[cranemaninamerica]

I will try to ban you from youtube! you dont now anything. i have been a mechanic for 30 years and everything you mentioned is false.

[indbox99]

Xiber1, perhaps fewer insults and a bit more confirmation of facts would work better. The Merc, BMW and VW diesels are all in the North American market. They all meet EPA Tier 2 Bin 10 emissions specifications. Merc and BMW (using Merc's system on license) us the AdBlue urea injection system in concert with a particulate filter, while VWs TDIs meet the specs without urea injection.

A bit of respect for other users would go a long way.

Indy

[Xobunoli]

Also diesels use compression ignition, gasoline engines use spark ignition. Compression makes it a hotter burn. Ergo, a much more efficient burn than that of gasoline engines.

[jizzmonger]

Combustion efficiency is actually lower in Diesel engines.

Thermal efficiency is higher.

These Engines are not made by International. They are made overseas by MANN and rebadged.

[cranemaninamerica]

YOU ARE WHATS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY! You are also the reson navistar stopped making the 7.3, and switched to the 6.0 and 6.4, the less polluting solution. you SUCK

[jizzmonger]

The TDI volkswagen is 4th in line behind the prius, insight and civic hybrids in terms of pollution in grams per mile.

In other words, the Diesel Jetta is 4th cleanest car on the road.

[grandbalais]

mann..maxx??lol

[BernardR30]

How the fuck do you think stores get there goods? Do you think this country have the money for a major rail overhaul? Newer diesel's are way more effiecient than gasoline engines! The black smoke puffing of diesel engines are over. Every new engine produced must meet government regulations! If they were as strict on gasoline engine manufactuters as they are on diesel's it would be a lot of company's out of business.

[cranemaninamerica]

dude, you suck

without trucks this country would be nowhere.

Go backto california, sit down with your hippie-freak friends, and cry about how many people throw stuff away insted of recycling while your deficite is so huge that it will take centuries to get out of it!

[renkn]

So, is Caterpillar going to paint this truck yellow and slap their decal on it and charge more money for it???

[dieseljuicecody]

...Haha, I don't get it. Navistar took Caterpillar's technology thank you. Remember the powerstroke? They took the heui and meui tech from CAT... All engine corps are not doing well this damn epa shit.

[Clizzle73]

ACTUALLY, International and Cat developed HEUI together.

[dieseljuicecody]

Actually NO THEY DIDN'T. Get your facts straight. CAT developed it first. It was stupid to put HEUI in a small engine(7.3) anyway, no power at all, slug. I did like how no oil pressure means no fuel so it was fool proof.

[bella5boo]

Too bad Caterpillar pulled out of the on-highway truck market, looks like Cummins got what they wanted.

[Bweb8806]

Im an International Mechanic and all you hear is the fan on the front of it. The engine is super quiet.

[stroln]

All this talk about how quiet the engine is and there is not an example of the sound of the engine.
