Maxxforce diesel engines

[Renze]

Apparently they're available in Canada,

Industrial and marine engines, through Scania USA... Thats a different emission certificate. and 15 year old grey import trucks. In the USA thats 25 years before you can import a non EPA approved vehicle.

Edison motors, Chace has verbal incontinentia, he often speaks before he oversees the consequences. He was talking about making a version with the Scania V8 and a Fuller for those who want old school. However there is no Fuller available that can handle the torque (warranty will void) only Scania and Volvo have these.

And if Scania gets an on-road EPA approval for this engine, its Traton brother International will use it first OR Scania itself will sell through International dealers, overshadowing Edison. Nonetheless Scania is hot at it to sell their smaller diesels as generator engines for the diesel electric Edison.

Edison got this idea after another youtuber, Bruce Wilson, got an old beater from Canada, though it sparked his interest and he bought two others, in better condition. Got invited for a factory tour, and now has become an official Scania demonstrator, they built him a truck to tour the USA on a one year EPA allowance, which can be extended with another 3 years.

I just found a 2010 6x6 with long wheelbase in excellent conditions for $26,000. Has everything I want BUT it has a Maxforce diesel (10L @330/1150)
I’m getting to the point where I might not be able to resist……

Any way you can get any maintenance records?

Doubtful.
Anything similar (like a Freightliner) with a Cummins is going to be $ about 75K.
So about $50,000 more.

Have I reached the point where you roll the dice and take a chance on a $25,000 Maxiforce International?
Theres a good chance it won’t break and maybe there’s someone out there with “deleting” knowledge? I know they already offer a “bulletproofed” EGR thats better than factory.

Make a heck of a hay hauler for on/off road use!

That is quite a bit of saving, for sure tempting. How many hours/miles?
One way to look at it is worst case scenario, if it goes **** up what's it going to cost to repair it and will it still be worth it or at least make it cost effective taking into account the inconvenience .
What's an improved EGR or removal worth and maybe plan on a preemptive repair?

Is it something that you can swap another engine into easily and cost effective if you buy it and tge engine pukes in a year?

I think ive said it before, but the MAN D2676 is a fine engine with DEF. Navistar ruined it with EGR. If you can work around that, its a great engine.

That’s the death penalty. There’s no way to swap in a Cummins. All the PCM, computers, wiring plumbing….
I bet it’d be $50,000

You have to stay with the IH engine.

This particular engine is a Maxforce 10 at 330HP, so it’s smaller than the MAN.

I found an aftermarket EGR that’s $3,500. Crazy expensive. Seller told me he just blocks them off with a plate. I figured that would throw a code for EGR and de-rate the motor.
