    Default Detroit engines in Kenworths?

    Was messing around on the Truck Paper and Kenworth websites the other day and wondered if KW offers Detroit engines in their trucks? Not that I'm worried about it seeing I'm a staunch Cat man but was just curious. 8)

    The only trucks you can get detroits in new now are freightliner, western star, and sterling.

    That's right. And I can't even get parts to fix the engine in my Freightliner from Freightliner anymore. I have to go to Kenworth to get my parts. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

    and they will rebuild them.

    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Detroit is owned by Freightliner who is owned by Mercedes. I had an OEM guy tell me a year or two ago that they were trying to get rid of the Series 60's and replace them with Mercedes engines. The present problem is that there are too many Series 60's on the market for them to completely shut them down.

    GMAN I think it's more like this. Daimler Chrysler owns Freightliner which owns Western Star, Sterling, Mercedes, and Detroit.
