Quote:You can't mention the KME issues without mentioning the Maxxforce motors. The majority of problems with these pieces are related to the power plant. It would have been interesting to see how the KME performed with a suitable motor. I hope the metro 100 perform well but only time will tell. The diet they put the metro 100 on to get it back on a single rear axle screams light duty to me.We've had a KME pump with less than 24 months street time have half of the suspension fall out of it. The day after it got a MA Inspection sticker.
