BIGrigdave — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 18:29:49 +0000

Peterbilt has just started production of their newest engine, the 12.9 liter MX engine and the Peterbilt trucks are now being constructed with this new engine.

According to eTrucker.com’s article, “Peterbilt ramps up training for new MX,” the motor is as such:

“The inline six-cylinder MX produces 1,750 lb. ft. peak torque and 380 to 485 horsepower. Among its features are compacted graphite iron engine block, integrated engine brake, a rear engine gear train, variable geometry turbo and a unit pump injection system.”

Kelly Bender, Peterbilt’s training manager, explained that the MX is designed to minimize downtime and only needs oil and oil filter changes every 40,000 with valve maintenance only needed every 160,000 miles. This new motor is available in Peterbilt Models, 587, 388, 386, 384, 367, and 365. As the only commercial diesel engine using compacted graphite iron (CGI) in both cylinder block and head, they have 75% more strength and it is 20% lighter than those engines of gray iron. The PACCAR MX commercial engine more than meets EPA 2010 diesel engine emissions regulations through their Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR).

Peterbilt has had over 50 years of expertise in development and manufacturing and they are very proud of the new PACCAR MX. Bill Jackson, Peterbilt’s General Manager and PACCAR Vice President stated: “The PACCAR MX takes our trucks to the next level of integration and optimization and the high degree of performance is synonymous with the Class and quality the industry has come to expect from Peterbilt.”

Peterbilt Motors Company is a global company out of Denton, Texas and takes pride in their quality as well as innovative ideas. They have over 250 dealerships in the nation. For more information, call 1-800-4-Peterbilt or visit their online site at www.peterbilt.com.

Gadgets on trucks make life fun for many drivers. A Truck Driver’s own little identity on the front of their truck. We found some neat little gadgets for freight liners that were discovered in different truck part stores across the country. A little chrome on your truck tells people your personality.

Rubber Duck Hood Ornament: It gives a look of “I am tough”, with a touch of humor. This brings a chuckle to those who pass by.

Cannon Ball Express Train Horn: Giving out 152 decibels of sound, it is volumes above other horns.

Chrome Heater Vent: This vent adds shine and a look of success to any truck. A must have for those who like to dress up.

Chrome Plate Frame: Another Class A item to dress up your truck. Put your own mantra on your license frame, instead of a commercial for other people’s companies.

Bull Horn Hood Ornament: For the bullish at heart or the Texan within. This ornament tells others you have the strength it takes to be a Truck Driver.

These are only a few ornaments for your truck. Go to http://www.iowa80.com to see more. (We linked these images from their online catalog.) If you have questions about truck driving jobs or about CR England please visit our web site, www.CREngland.com
