The Pits Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I want to upgrade my 96 CL 713, but problems with newer engines have me worried. How do the MP engines compare with the Macks?

rsb502 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Go wiht an MP8 and you are golden, the MP7 has a pressed bushing in the riod that aint the greatest but they are pretty darn good engines for 11 liters, the MP8 is a torque monster for a 13 liter, with the active torque management it seems like they pull harder the heavier you load them, the 505hp anyway.

220cummins Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Mp's aren't too bad. Aside some small inherent design flaws of using just o-rings for seals that cause some minor fluid leaks they are pretty good. If you get one with the SCR be very mindful of the corrosive nature of DEF when filling the DEF tank. That stuff will corrode aluminum and copper instantly. So it will eat up wiring harnesses and sensors which intern throws codes for the emissions system. MPs have some power I can tell you that.
