EDD505: Engine choices in Class 8 trucks has changed. Most mfrs. now have their own powerplants. Freightliner offers the DD series and still will install the new ISX. I think Volvo will also install the Cummins. Not sure about Paccar. No one in his right mind wants a Navistar! Cat is out of the OTR market. Part of the problem is the electronics. The engine , Trans( especially the auto shifts), ABS, cruise control, all have to communicate.
Most of your Renegade Class 8 chassis RVs were speced out from the factory by very knowledgeable people who know what they want in a huge RV. Many of them are race teams, horse people, or those in mechanical based industries who know how to spec a truck.
I don't think I'll have a problem finding what I want power plant wise. It will boil down to the choice of floorpans and interior trim that will prolong the search. Who knows, my businesses may take off into the stratosphere and allow me to buy new. Then I can spec out my own coach. ;)
