I know some guys with Volvo engines who really like them. It's getting to be a chevy vs ford thing. Everyone has a opinion.

Me and my dad own 8 semi trucks and I myself think a Mercedes in a Freightliner columbia has been the best engine I've been around because it never breaks down, still under 500,000 miles so maybe that's why it runs great yet.

Others will say it's one of the worst engines. I'm not a big fan of cat c15 or c12 engines or cummins N14s. Had fairly good luck with a 12.7 & 14 liter Detroit's.


You couldn't give me a mercedes but I'll take a c15 set at 600 hp any day of the week.


I used to drive a Freightliner Cascadia with a 455 hp DD13. It was totally gutless. Maybe it had issues, I dont know. Hopefully they aren't all that way.

Hard to beat a good running C15 CAT. I love them.
