Stay away. They are slightly better than the pickup truck version but they still tend to bend push rods and connecting rods. Good luck if you buy this rig with this engine.

You should really research before you make blank statements about something you know little of!

There is hundreds of thousand of these engines in service today in medium duty trucks plus they power 70% of the school buses throughout the US. I have owned three of these engines in RV's and they are as dependable as a Cummins engine and provide plenty of power. In addition they are cleaner burning engines and require no addition of DEF fluid like other diesels. I presently own a Nexus with the same engine.

In addition this is almost the same engine that powered hundreds of thousands of Ford Pickup's. The law suit was regarding their 11 L engines about emissions and has nothing to do with their dependability.

The writing has been on the wall for a while now but now it’s become official without being officially announced, the Maxxforce lines of engines produced by International are a failure. Warranty costs relating to Maxxforce EGR spiraled while reliability plummeted. Class action lawsuits are now starting. In the trucking word people rarely forget or forgive trucks that don’t perform. Once you lose a customer you have to work very hard to get them back. So what do you do? Time for a rebranding.
