Has anyone on here had anything to do with the Pacar Engines, are they a really a new motor or just a rebadged Cummins...Would like to hear any feedback on them...

It is NOT a rebadged cummins, it is a Paccar built and designed motor, and yes, they do use them in Europe, the company is DAF, its the Euro Peterbilt.

They use Cummins now, no Cats. ISL, ISX and 11.9.

So how are they holding up? Is their emission set up working OK? My older brother owns two KW trucks with the 3406E Cat engines in them, says he wouldn't own any newer Cat engines because of all the emission trouble they had with them, Cat should have bailed in about 2007

How are the pacar motors living? I've heard the M.B. engines run real well & are quite, but spendy to maintaine,and don't live very long. Diffrent plp i've talked with say the new detroits are the way to go, to bad they only come in Freightliners or Western Stars
