Are there any problems with the MBE900 engine?
I drove for a company that had a number of earlier (2001) MBE900 units and they had a “Check Engine” light problem that usually arose under heavy load/ hard climb situations. There was never a power loss (engine derating, which essentially is a “self preservation” mode).
Why does my Freightliner W Mercedes not start?
