This includes the following Navistar truck brands: PayStar, WorkStar, TranStar, 9900i, LoneStar, and ProStar.”

  • Why aren’t all of the truck engine manufacturers suid ? Volvo, Cummins, Detroit, and Paccar engines were all a very costly and downtime not to mention owner operators and small fleets who lost their shirts over the issues we all had between 2008 to 2011 .

  • I had six Prostar trucks with MaxForce Engines back in 2012-2013. I had lots of mechanical breakdowns due to their EGR coolers failures and turbo related failures of those units.
