The Star 944 is powered by a MAN D 0824 LFG diesel engine that delivers 114 kW (155 hp) at 2,400 rpm. Power is routed through a six-speed gearbox with an additional reverse gear to a 4x4 all-wheel-drive system. At 6,370 mm long, 2,540 mm wide and 3,250 mm tall, with a gross weight of 5,700 kg, the truck sits in the medium-weight class of off-road trucks.
Vehicles of this type are typically built on a continuous ladder frame that gives the all-wheel-drive system the torsional stiffness needed on unpaved ground, together with a transfer case that splits engine power between the front and rear axles. The six-speed drivetrain is geared for low travel speeds combined with high tractive effort, as required off sealed roads.
When buying a used Star 944, check the transfer case and the propeller shafts for play, since the all-wheel-drive system carries heavy loads through the axles and shafts off-road. On the D 0824 LFG diesel engine, inspect the coolant lines for leaks and the ladder frame around the spring mounts for corrosion, and check the condition of the six-speed gearbox together with its power take-offs and the sealing of the driveshaft boots.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
