    I would think that you should not have a problem paying for the fuel system bc of all the money you saved buying the International with the Maxxforce engine.

    With all the problems documented here, I would think that the only reason to buy that truck was bc you had another engine to drop in its place.

    Hence the name Nostar Prostar... you could try getting a loan to fix it, but if it was me I would let me go on down the drain and buy something you can trust... is that truck a lease truck or did you buy it from a dealer?

    Not trying to be mean but 30 seconds to Google the words, Prostar maxxforce engine, would have saved you a whole lot of grief . You need to just walk away from it. Cut your losses and get back in a company truck until you get your finances back in order. Things will never improve with this truck those maxfarts have bankrupted a lot of people.

    Don't keep putting money into this truck. Get rid of it and go get yourself a job
