macktruck505 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I am looking at a 2006 rawhide with an mp 8 just wondering if it will be as reliable as my old E-7 that i put 1.4 million miles on and never over hauled it. I heard mechanics saying there were problems with snapping exhaust studs or cam problems just looking for some advice thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/8265-2006-mp-8-is-it-a-good-engine/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm pretty sure the MP-8 didnt come out till 2008. 2006 model CHN- CXN's had the ASET version of the ETECH engine and it does have issues with exhaust manifold studs breaking, leaking EGR coolers and a few turbo actuators , however the heart of the engine( block, heads and crank) are still great and will last over a million miles. The cam issue has mostly been solved. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/8265-2006-mp-8-is-it-a-good-engine/#findComment-30569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
