  Correct, sir however there are some proprietary parts specific to PACCAR. Good motor don’t get me wrong, just not as easy to come across PACCAR parts.

  The Paccar PX9 is a Cummins L9 rebadged. The other Paccar motors use many Cummins parts, especially emission system parts.

  The DD13 is a nice engine though!

  PACCAR is good too but limited support compared to Cummins.

  Because DETROIT only offers that engine in sister DAIMLER products now.
  I think PIERCE does or will offer PACCAR engines. Hey, I’m a decades long CUMMINS stockholder so no tears being shed over DETROIT dropping out.

  Why does Pierce not offer the DD13 engine any longer?

  I concur. Almost a polar opposite in color. It would be pretty easy at Christmas to blend in with the candy canes.
