Does PACCAR manufacture their own engines now? I know at one time they were heavily influenced with Cummins hardware.
Interestingly we've got a 2015 Komatsu wheel loader with a PACCAR engine with lots of Fleetgaurd hardware. Air cleaner housing and CCV filter specifically. The engine looks identical to the QSB 6.7's in our cranes right down to the valve covers and ID tags on the gear covers.

I think this still stands and also explains how the PACCAR 6.7 engine is in the Komatsu..

We have circa 2003 Komatsu WA380 FEL’s and they have QSB 5.9 (rear gear drive) in ‘em. Engine is tagged Komatsu.

Its always seemed odd to me that PACCAR would go to such lengths to "brand" an engine rather than just stuff a Cummins in it like most everyone else does and enjoy the notoriety.

Everybody wants to keep things proprietary. Even CAT was labeling Perkapillars before they bought Perkins.

There’s a Cataperk 1000 in that enclosure. They’re okay.

I do understand that, but in that scenario Cat was at least established. It's obviously worked out for PACCAR though, too.

Spoke to someone who works for PacCar in Burlington, WA at their testing facility. Yes they have their own engine and transmission.

My understanding is at the MX11 and MX13 engines are theirs but the PX7 and PX9 are Cummins built.
I drive a 2015 t370 Kenworth with the PX 9 and it says on the engine: built by Cummins :

Pretty sure the Paccar 12 speed and the Eaton Endurant 12 speeds are the same other than the software. Different engines need different transmission software to work correctly.
