So now you're an expert in marine engines as well. Who knew one person could be so multifaceted?
Yeah, about the same. They follow about the same timeline too, 08-12 are the worst and then they got better but still not as good as the pre emissions stuff. Is the maxxforce 7 the same as the ford 6.4?

I don’t know much about heavy duty motors except the ones I used to deal with in the Army. I believe they were all D60 series, supercharged and turbocharged. They were dogs.
Anyway, as I’ve been looking at motorcoachs and toters I’ve found that Volvo’s have the highest resale value and freightliners with Cats or Cummins are less valuable and Mercedes seem to be the least valuable. Any thoughts?
Or maybe because the trucks are all 15+ year old fleet trucks? They also have iron bodies that rust away. I did once a year oil changes on my old d12 and on the oil sample everything was low single digits except for iron would be in the teens. I havent heard any other engine coming close to that.
Also if its in a mack its not a d12

So why do Cat/Cummins powered trucks always sell higher if the others are superior? Why did you buy a Detroit if the D12 was amazing? Is everyone in on the scheme to artificially inflate the price of Cat/Cummins?
The Mack comment is referring to the fact after they got infected by the European stupidity they aren’t the trucks they once were.

Everyone makes trash engines at some point.

I think you misspelled volvo when you said mack.
He’s an internet expert on everything. Notice in all the years and all the forums he’s never once backed up any of his BS? Like his million HP L10 Cummins a friend of a friend of a friend owns.
He says how the Cat’s in Europe break cranks every 15min but when we point out how the euro engines here are chit like the Maxxforce. He claims how they are US spec and not the Euro versions. So I say the C18’s are euro spec and not US and get no response lmao.
Detroit and Cat are most reliable.
