So i know this hasn’t been up to long, but its starting to look like this engine really isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. When the only real issue seems to be the fuel system. -
Not Volvos
-
But Mack doesn’t make a cab over and I live in the United States 😃 My solution to that would be the Volvo engines can have the rear mounted timing gears and the Mack gets front. Or all US engines get front mount and all Euro get Rear. Cummins doesn’t do it that way and I’m pretty sure they are all over Europe.
-
For starters, the rear mounted gear train.
-
Yes! This will be fun. Let me make a list I be back later

I’m not right very often and really wish I wasn’t right with all this Mack/Volvo stuff. I don’t want to sound like a Volvo fanboy but it is what it is you know? I wish Mack was still Mack from Allentown, Pa. Hell I’d even take the Renault owned Mack. Sounds like you had a fair bit of experience with this suspension and surprisingly like it haha. You don’t see many out on the road. Are those axle pedestals the issue that was resolved a couple years later after they came out that Mackpro was talking about?
-
It’s and ASET engine. What kind of info do you need? https://www.ebay.com/itm/384286834162

Another thread again….see ya in the chat. 🫡
-
MP8=D13, Mdrive=Ishift, and Mride=Tride 😄

Never worked on them Joey, but I do know about them….camel back is and always will be the true Mack heavy duty suspension. Volvo gets a bad rep. But they are truly keeping Mack going I believe, even though it’s just a name at this point. I think Mack was just at the end of their time getting on with current standards. Look at international and detroit for example. Other companies have to come and buy them when they can’t meet todays bullshit “standards”. To be honest I think Volvo is turning out to be one of the better of the companies to buy.
-
Let’s see the camel back do this….
-
Also it’s ALOT lighter
-
I could see them factory for a tri axle. Apparently that M-ride is actually a very nice suspension with great articulation. No one wants to admit or stick it on their truck since it’s a Volvo idea.
-
you have lived both sides of it though. So now you have been spoiled. I do wonder what it’s like working on stuff that doesn’t have rust, pry wouldn’t need half the tools I have….
-
Loving the Bulldog Magazine!@Mackproshould be able to handle all of the modern truck section 🤣
-
Yea some of ours have blasted bolt heads off the frame lol. Gotta love salt and double frames.
-
Awesome, consider yourself lucky.
-
Is yours a double frame?
-
Yea man anytime, glad I could help some!
-
That I can’t answer, I wouldn’t think there would be a difference. If any they would be bigger and you might have an issue. Guys like Joey and mark t could pry answer that.
-
Don’t use the MK when searching also the meritor part number is from the “R” over. Mack uses meritor anyway. But that whole number is a Mack number for YOUR truck.
-
That’s all I can do haha
-
-
I may have a part number for you in a few minutes
-
The polys will last the longest. I’ve never used them before. I’m not sure the price difference though.
