An AMI that's been (deAMIed) might pull better, but that MP7 is a pretty good little engine. They had injector cup issues , common problem for them. Overall, they were a dependable driver friendly engine, and fairly good on fuel . Still quite a few in service , for being offered one year and almost 20 years old now.

Seems like a lot of hours compared to the miles. There also might be a lot of life left in that engine too. The ECM should have the information in it if it's what's actually on it. Good candidate for an oil sample (oil analysis) They were pretty good engines
-
That bit Jojo mentioned about the ten speeds was a thing back then. Electronics were no where near what they are now . Those ideas were obsolete before ever catching on. They were in fleets from what I remember. then some dribbled out for a second life here and there. 20 years old already.

Finally some DM progress

Bob ????? have you been watching Bondo Billy ? Making some progress, I like it. -
They were something for fuel economy if I remember right. Like you mentioned was a fairly common application they were used in. I think there was something about having the cruise control on at highway speeds, the power went up so they were supposed to chug a little harder when needed. I doubt there'd be much use for them down under like Paul is wondering about. 460 E Tech last good grey Mack engine. 🙁

didn't they kick up the torque in the high gear or something ?
-
I think it was. I almost rmember it on trucks from larger fleets (I think) Wanna say they were made with better fuel mileage in mind.

IDK. If you ask me , Mack hung on way too long to the belief people knew what to do with extended range transmissions and multiple PTO options. Fuller was by far more driver and maintainence friendly, and in most applications did a fine job. It makes me sad they're all going the same direciton as injection pumps and two sticks. Oh..... and a pipe from a turbo that went to a muffler.
-
Absolutely. They go a long time if used correctly and maintained as they should be (or even not) but when those things need help, it's usually the whole thing. They're expensive repairs when it comes to it though.
-
(lol) I'm thinking you might be correct. So much so, I may personally guarantee it.
-
IDK seems like Mack synchros and trunion bars, everyone is reluctant to accept when they're done. Can't fault a person for remaining optimistic though.
-
Sounds like it needs to be taken out and repaired ( synchro and range cylinder components in the transmission ). Keep start'n out in sixth ??? you'll be taking the transmission out anyway to replace the clutch. Like F and Joey mentioned, those items can be the issue, but if it is and you're seeing issues, probably after repairing those you'll be wondering why it won't stay in low range and keeps clunk'n in and out.

Seriously, I'm no fan, but at least he was one with some potential to get away from this train wreck. Obviously, they wanna keep going with the insanity
-
I can't believe that goof was picked over Shapero. This whole thing keeps getting dumber and dumber
-
comes with free tampon if you're an teenage boy
-
Yeah, this guy is a totally different level of slimy turd.
-
You know this walz guy was for legislation to have tampons in all the bathrooms in schools. Because.... well....ya know
-
and tampons for every kid......yaaaay
-
That route ? you'd need a couple sidemount turnouts with the big glasspack inserts (same thing as a Purple Hornie) trick is glasspack part close to exit.
-
"Hollywood glasspacks" ? fab a couple Purple Hornets on there , it'll make some beautiful sounds .

My first job was in a B model. 673 with an 18. Although ????? I wasn't allowed to drive the one with the 237 🤔. Been close to 20 years since I was in a B model.

Pennsylvania is going to send one more of their finest into this Jerry Springer show. By next week at this time he'll be on the view.

Jojo, read up on her parents. The old man split when she was like 12 . So that'd be mid '70s (?) There were basically onyl black or white back then. (not the limitless identities like now) I'm sure it was realized by her mother there was much more free stuff ......I mean opportunities for a black kid. Poor Kameltoe is just a product of her upbringing. Don't be hate'n y'all. So yeah, Jamacan and Indian = African

Torque for Dayton rims

That's an early picture of butajegg . It was taken to show his experience in the transportation industry. -
Well if the opportunity ever prevents itself, I'd volonteer to do a driveby for you. I'm think'n I can still pull it off.
