93 mh613 with e7 350 good or bad motor?

[dennis101279]

Can any body tell about the e7 350 motor? Is it a good one or bad? What is the most common problem with them? This motor had a rebuild 50k ago and has 430K on the truck.

Thanks, Denny

a company i used to work for had 15 of them,they were in roll-off trucks, 2 out of the 15 were problematic,but they were also the "spares" if you will, most of the trucks made it to 1 mil+ and were never touched for any major issues,a few of them were in the 30-40 thousand hour range. however,the company had a very strict maintenance schedule. oil change at 300 hours,coolant changed every 1200 hrs. one truck they pulled apart at 20,000 hours just have a look,and the lead mechanic said if he had a crystal ball he'd have left it alone,but one truck of the two problematic ones would spin bearings and head gaskets would go out. the other had injector and throttle issues. hope that helps you.

Thanks. Any info helps. I have the records from the company that bought it new. Every month oil and greased. Every 5 years opened and inspected. Injectors changed every 10 yrs Rebuilt in 07 and only 50k been put on it since then.

depends on the price for me, I take it it is a electronic v-mac eng. or manual throttle?

I would love to own an MH with a V-mac E7350. Good spec.
