Looking good keep the updates coming. I buy these older trucks and put them to work alot of guys use them as show trucks I like to run a little different.

I still run older equipment like this everyday and have had good luck doing it. What I have found out is if it needs something just do it down to the inside light.

I'm wondering if it was a glider ? I emailed them and ask for picture of the motor no reply yet. I like the older mechanical stuff. I rebuild them into a workable unit and put them on the road. I know the R600 was a glider The one in my pic was a R600 I built into a RD688SX

I'm kinda old school on how I do things I look at these new automatics as more stuff to break. I would to a Mack 13 speed and rears because of the heavy haul app and they are proven to get the job done.

I would also go with the MP 8 505 hp. Yes the MP 10 is a big bad motor but I have seen people having mixed reviews on it as the MP 8 seems good to go.

I would go for the CHU Rawhide it is a truck you can take care of and keep for many many years.

I didn't know that. Is the Vision still the cx ?? I know the Rawhide flat front CH looking truck is badass hahahaha. They need to stop changing their stuff.

If you are looking at newer Macks I would go for the CHN with the 505hp mp8 with a 13 speed.

Had a new drive shaft made old one had a decent sized dent and one of the ujoints was locked up. Wow what a difference that made. I have always shook my drive line down everytime I greased it and no movement at all. Seen the small dent took it off to a trusted drive line company and he did all repairs but that one cost a G.

I'm looking for a sleeper truck with wet line. I have been hunting for almost a month and drove and walked away from a couple of CX613's because of the amount of blow by. I have a 90 RD 688 roll off with a EM6 300 that I'm almost sick of working on haha. I will try to post a pic of the truck see what you guys think. It also has a EM7 is that a mechanical engine ? 600k miles on it for $12,500

I have spokes on the back inside rim was bent 90% of it is gone I will keep you informed what I find.

Just to keep cost down I would go with a E6 or E7 engine. The E9 is very costly and parts are getting hard to come buy. Well whatever you do let us know. The E9 is not a bad engine.

What engine ? MP7 ?

I always liked the Superliner and R model but the new CHN is pretty badass.

Thanks for all the reply's I put a reman in for 3k this problem is gone
