Not sure .. I was going to do a full fluid change in 2 weeks when I do PM on my other trucks . But man it pulls great.. had bout 18 tons on my walking floor and it didn’t sweat or miss a beat… very satisfied with it… my old w900 with a 444 Cummins pulled a bit slower then this Mack.. I think it was a good addition.. but man the pto for the maxitorque was 900 bucks compared to 340 for an Eaton ..

I live in swfl , it’s like 95-98 heat index of 110 almost everyday .. what should oil temp be? Dealer changed the oil but not sure if they changed centrifugal filter

So update , I took delivery of the 06 Mack and installed a wet line.. did my first load in it.. question I have it runs great , enough power.. what’s the normal water temp and oil temp? If I’m between 1700-1800 rpm’s going 60-65 water temp goes to 200 then fan turns on , and oil temp goes to about 210-215 then goes down a bit .. if I drive 55-60 at 1400-1500 rpm’s oil a little lower and water temp .. what is the normal ?

Oh ok great I hope the chime in as well.. and 600k plus miles is would be great.. all things more modern isn’t great but it’s the direction the world is going.. I still have 2 trucks with 12.7 Detroit’s .. even they have issues ..

It’s All faded .. it was owned by maxim crane company.. supposedly well maintained .. it is really clean .. what I liked is , it seems to have more power then my w900 with a Cummins 444 , it pulls really good .. is it possible for someone to read the vin and let me know the specs on it? And are these trucks capable of making it to 600-900k miles ?

Ok, what kind of issues .. so deleting it will just make matters worse? Has 342k on the clock 15k hours .. I don’t mind an egr even if it has to be changed every 100k miles .. trying to see if someone can look up the vin to see the type of engine it has . The sticker on the valve cover is kinda faded

Hello, I’m new here .. just recently purchased a 2006 Mack .. I really have no experience with Mack’s , but it drove good has a 18 speed maxi torque, and not sure on engine has egr , drove real well .. I will post the vin if someone can tell me more .. it will be pulling a walking floor trailer everyday hope it does well.. appreciate it ..
