    Could you give some figures that these people are getting with their Macks eg fuel economy ect ???? The reason I ask is that the figures we see getting around seem to vary a lot and it would be good for all to see some real figures so we can compare what differences there really are Do people really get 8 and 9 MPG or is 6 MPG the norm Years ago Macks were always advertised it's not the initial cost of a Mack to look at it's the whole of life cost I wonder is it still the same ??

    This was on the news the other night I laugh as the bloke in the car tries to blame the truck driver I wonder what would have happened if the truck driver didnt dash cam Paul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNva-YsX2AE

    6.2 MPG at a bit over 36 ton a lot of older trucks will do those figures ok I must missing something in all this because the figures on new trucks arent much better if any better than older trucks but maybe Im reading all this wrong Im still no help with your purchase decision but at least I have given you all something to laugh at lol good luck with it all I feel there is no wrong or right answer Paul

    I asked a expert bloke about a similar problem once the things he told me were engine mounts broken springs on the clutch plate crook uni's flywheel cracks and Im sure other things as well but these were the most common he thought Paul

    with all these problems with new and almost new trucks I would be going old school the old coolpower Macks are cheap to buy and cheap to run I know it's not the answer you are chasing but I feel you could buy 7 old R models fix everything that needs fixing on them and they would still be cheaper than just one new truck and if you keep them looking shmick the drivers will like driving them cheaper to run easier to fix no need to plug a laptop into them can get parts anywhere Paul

    so it's not custom built it's custom badged !!!! Paul
  16. mrsmackpaul

    yep I dont run cabs for cost of fresh set of treads is not much more than a fresh set of caps and the damage caps do when they let go more than out ways the extra cost of fresh treads for me The old fellas out here used to buy tyres twelve months ahead and store them under there house to let them cure looks good when we have fresh treads on till we take them thru the mud lol Paul
  19. mrsmackpaul

    the back lid on top of transmission depending on how it has been set up it will have either one air regulator or two the pistons and O rings can be changed with out pulling the lid off on mine I can get the lid off mine just with out dropping the transmission or lifting the cab I have gotta pull the floor out of the cab to do this and huge amount of swearing follows and skinned knuckles Paul
  22. mrsmackpaul
    nope but looks like it came from a Studebaker to me Paul

    nice looking trucks there
  24. mrsmackpaul
    maybe the air regulator is not set right for that side or the air ram o rings are leaking to much air unscrew the the air hoses on top of the lid and squirt some CRC or WD 40 Paul
  25. mrsmackpaul
