    Does anyone know why the DM Macks have the hood shifting to the right hand side? Is there a reason why these truck were designed this way? Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the response, the DM is actually a DM690S but i think it was converted to a tractor. Does anyone know if the low gear can be a drawback if using to haul heavy containers?

    Hi Guys, I have to choose between two tractors: a DM688S and a R688ST. The R688ST is a 1988 model and the DM688S is a 1991 model. Can you please advise me on the advantages/disadvantages of either model, and what the difference between the two is? Thanks in advance!!

    Yes Larry, its the head gasket area between the block and the head, and i didn't see it leak while running. I did start it, but i didn't observe a leak when it was running

    Hi Guys, The picture below is for a 1991 Ch613 Mack that i'm planning on buying. The problem is that on inspecting the engine i saw that there was an oil leak near the top of the engine near the back [the side that nearly touches the dashboard/cabin]. The truck has not been moved for awhile so i also spotted some oil stains on the floor directly under the leak. I was wondering if this discovery was a big enough red flag not to buy the truck, or is it something to expect due to its age? Please advise, your input is highly appreciated!! N.B> the leak comes between where the top of the engine can be removed [near the back]

    Hi Guys, I am split between buying a 1988 R688ST [350hp] or a 1980 Mack superliner [350hp]. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the difference is between the two of them engine wise and what the pros and cons of each could be? Thanks in advance
