Darryl&Rita Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Avoid any MaxForce engine. Or bring a lot of repair money with you. They have a worse reputation than 6.0 Fords. I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again. 2000 Kenworth T 2000 w/N-14 and 10 speed Gen1 Autoshift, deck built by Star Fabrication 2006 smart fourtwo cdi cabriolet 2007 32.5' Fleetwood QuantumPlease e-mail us here.

Danandfreda Posted December 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Must be a reason they’re only asking 20 thousand. Knew it was too good to be true. So it’s not international as a brand just maxx force motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they still make them or got better at some point, but they seriously struggled and hence why the very cheap price. Supposedly if you delete them, they aren't bad motors, but that opens up another whole can of worms. Their resale definitely has taken a hit because of that motor.

Pete Kildow Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Navistar Hit With $30.8 Million Judgment in ProStar/MaxxForce Lawsuit https://www.truckinginfo.com/141709/navistar-hit-with-30-8-million-judgment-in-prostar-maxxforce-lawsuit Milan is a good size company. But the MaxxForce almost put them under. At one time the International dealer in Jackson Tn. Had a lot full of there trucks. Just for Jokes and Giggles. Stopped in to check on one. Salesman told me the company traded them in. They were the kind that trades in trucks every 300,000 miles..🦄 I asked him if that was for sure true. Again yes great trucks, and he could get me in one. For a low price of $17,900. Truck was less then 2 years old. My wife's uncle was half the team that ran this unit. Laughed at the fool, then told him I was not Stupid. And he had better change his lie. Walked in and talked with the Manager. Told him the great deal his salesman was trying to pull on me. Lets just say those 2 were about to fight. As the trucks were to be destroyed. The Lawsuit made Navastar to Destroy 20+ of those trucks. There that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenandjon Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 There are some shops around that have had real success in deleteing and re-tuneing the max force. The guy I talked to said once you get past all the emissions junk it's a really good simple engine. But....it cost 5k to do all that and if you buy a used one you run the risk of having an engine that was already damaged. On the other hand hand I know guys that were buying 3 at a time because they were so cheap. Driving one and using the other 2 for parts!
