    My best 2 engines have been #1 Detroit Diesel series 60 12.7 liter 500hp which ran 1.8 million miles before the overhaul and 7 years after before I retired and sold it, #2 Cummins N14 460hp which went 1.4 million miles which was still going strong when I sold it.

    I’m running a 2019 Mack Anthem with the MP8. It has 426,000 on it. It’s been a good engine. My employer runs all Mack’s with this power plant with minimal problems. Last employer I ran for had me in a KW 680 with the X15. It was pretty good engine for the most part. It had its issues. Freightliner I ran rarely but ran one when my KW was in for a service and it left me sit. Just completely shut down like I turned off the key.

If someone had told me then what I know Now, I would have stuck to one truck and invested the rest of the money in real estate, Anyways still on the road. I have a 2019 VNL 860 with a Volvo motor. I have not had any major problems with it. Thanks for making great content.

Oil change and fuel filter change every 20k. Just had to delete it due to the DOC pressure sensor, running fine so far. Having a good mechanic that knows your engine is a plus. Also change your coolant every year to prevent rust around the cylinder liners that a plus to. Take care of your engine and it will take care of you, I'm very strict about engine maintenance that's the heart of the truck. Thanks Ryan your knowledge is very appreciated 🙏 👍

    Yep the Mack MP8 is a Volvo power plant. And in all honesty they are a fine powerplant. People make a big thing about the problems they have with injector cups. And yes they do go wrong, but Cummins also suffer from the same problem.
    As for Paccar I am very biased, they are an excellent power plant and my first choice when looking for a new truck. As for the software you definitely can get the software a lot cheaper now, as it is widely advertised through online websites. Obviously it is not from Paccar but it is a perfect copy. ( Only available from European websites I believe ). Keep up the good work Ryan best Truck website on TH-cam .

    I drive an International pro star, typically pull a 53 foot van trailer. We are a contractor for the postal service so loads are never that heavy. Trucks are about 5 years old with 500,000 miles. There are always warning lights displayed on the dash, we are told to carry on driving. Transmissions can be a bit erratic, but overall is a quite a nice truck to drive.

    Not a fan of Volvo. Though they do crash well. The last one I ran no Nope NADA
    I've passed on driving jobs because they ran Volvo. I've never ran a PACCAR.

    I take umbrige that you mentioned Detroit Seies 60 but did not mention my engine: Commins N14 Celect Plus.
    My thoughts: Macks are slow, Deries 60s are good when running empty, and Volvos are good when bobtailing.
    Caterpillars are strong but are very, very, very, thirsty. Hence, I chose Cummins N14 so that I get decent fuel mileage and I do not lose speed going up most mid-western hills; Eaton 13-speed assists in this.

    Sweet you like the cummins. Ive been a fan of them since they were the choice of Dodge. I love the early 2000s Dodge PU. My future KW next gen will have a Cummins. That next gen KW is a beauty. Waiting F*%K paying FET. 😂 Thanks, love your vids.

      Very true, especially in freightliner Columbia, maintenance is cheapest and easiest, less maintenance than any truck on market now, has 3 big problems noise, vibration and driver comfort, but you don’t lose money because of those 3 problems,

    I have 2 2017 N13 prostars in my fleet, 1 I’ve been happy with, it’s done amazing. The second I’m on the fence about, as it’s had the def sensor go out and had to wait 5-6 weeks to get it back, but that was a brand wide problem, not international. But then a month later the scr was cracked and had to spend 13.4k to get a brand new scr. Since then it’s been decent, but we will see how it holds up the rest of the year

    I have the 2014 prostar w/ Mac force N13 bought with 620000 on it put about 40 k on it have put about 10k into it . New high pressure fuel pump and ac compressor and Davco fuel filter assy. I am pretty happy with its driving and starting in very cold but my first truck only paid 13k for it so have about 24k into it so I guess that isn't too bad considering prices right now. guess we will see how this year goes would like to get at least another 120k out if it without something major like EGR cooler or turbo etc. Thanks Ryan for all your great advice.

    I think you need to look at the A26 motors a little bit better. They are good motors, I have plenty of the min the fleet and they seem to be more reliable than the cummins in some of the internationals or KWs.

      the a26 is the newest variant of the maxxforce engines so it has all the upgrades that make the old versians i.e maxxforce and n13 breakdown so much but like he said just keep an eye on them, i got to drive one with the a26 and i seems to be a smoother running engine than the original maxxforce and the n13
