Cat c-15 & maxforce mf15

[KTAPETERBILT]

Are they the same,I had someone tell me they are.

I would assume NO as Cat is obvious and MaxxForce is International

Its based off the cat, they have their own fuel/emissions so I might guess it's their head.

Yes Cat may have sold the rights/design of the c15 to them, but its still not a Cat. Don't let those international guys ride the coat tails of Cat, trust me its a pos International still. There's a reason they dropped the MF15

The maxxforce is a tow truck drivers best friend where as a c15 can be a dam decent engine. You decide.

There reason is it was a Cat.

Basic block and crank are the same, pistons are unique for the emission requirements. Head looks identical except a modified casting for the common rail injectors.

The engine would be ideal to strip and put a standalone Bosch ECM on it, the bottom end has proven itself time after time in the C15.
