How much does a Mercedes MBE 900 engine cost?
I called a W.W. Williams office this week, and was told that Mercedes does not sell long blocks; only complete engine assemblies. Price: $19k. That is the part ONLY. I am then told by said parts counter man that my engine’s hp can be adjusted to 300hp with the swapping out of ‘nozzles’ (injector cones?).
What kind of engine is in Freightliner MBE900?
A brief test drive in a couple of Freightliner Business Class trucks showed the MBE900 to be a very willing and civilized option to the Cummins and Caterpillar power available in Freightliner’s medium-duty chassis.
Is there a warranty on a Cummins MBE 900?
We have a Cat engine that has a 750k warranty which isn’t too bad. We primarily are running KW’s with cummins in them for the rebuild factor. Jury is still out on whether I want to purchase the new EPA trucks any time soon. Way too many problems with them at this point. There is my penny in the pond.

Are there any problems with the mb900 engine?
If I recall right there were some issues with those MB900 engines in Freightliners with improper routing of fuel lines that cause fuel pressure problems and the problem you describe maybe have them check that. Would hope engine under warranty if using coolant for blown head gasket or other internal trouble? Denny
What kind of truck is the 2007 Sterling?
We really enjoyed driving the 2007 Sterling with 96″ Bentz/Express Cruiser setup our former owners had, but they were fraught with mechanical problems. There is a new M2112 at Stoops, but I can’t see financing $105k, much less financing anything at all.
