I keep hearing from lots of drivers on how to stay away from the Volvo engines. So what does that say about Mack???

I heard on Saturday that the new Mack motors are made by Volvo. Does anybody know if there is any truth to that???? I hope this is not true!!!

i'm going to bring it in for a dyno to see what it says. I was also thinking about going with a 13sp to see if it helps but not really sure what that's going to do.I know that Mack says that it is suppose to have high torque but i dont really see it. I have a 93 CH with a 350 and i don't really see the diffrence in performance.

Could anybody tell me what part of the dash i need to take apart to get to the AC evaporator on my CH?????? AC is not cooling as it should and i want to try and clean the evaporator to see if it helps.....thanks

Bigen thats a hell of a truck!!!! in my opinion the nicest truck in this fleet!!!

where is that dealer that you are at MACKPRO?????

i was running produce from Philly to Brooklyn every day for a while and my fuel milage was right about in th mid 4's with all the stopping and going. now i run more into Pa or up into Mass and i do much better than that.

i've thought of putting the 13ut was not sure

they have told me at Mack that this engine is suppose to pull like a bear but i don't feel it

i have 2000 with 355/380 engine , 10 speed and 386 mack rears . for some reason this truck dies out when it comes to a hill . even when i'm rolling empty i have to down shift up a hill. i bought this truck new and it has always acted this way. could anyone give me info on this??? not sure what to change or it is what it is.

as long as it's running strong and making you money!!!! that's what all about

hatcity you made my day with that pic!!!! reminds me of the days of hanging out in south beach

real nice mh vision....that was the first truck i ever owend an old superior carriers truck. i'm also from jersey, i live in east rutherford

thankyou 68...you have more info on my truck in 2 days than any of the mack dealers here in jersey in 9 years that i have owned this truck

when the cam was taken out one of the injector rollers (EUP) had 4 sides like a square. about 4 of the valve rollers were chipped wich ate up the cam

mackpro68 i thankyou much for your great info last 6 is 118142

i also read that the injectors on these engines leak inside on to the cam and it causes damage...dont know if there is any truth to that

any of you mack pros could tell me if i could turn up my 355/380 ??? every time i go to a dealer here in jersey they give me a run around story

hey i got a 00 ch with 355/380 and i average about 6 mpg running from jersey to rhode island every day

i've used lucas oil products since day 1 so i guess that doesnt work. i'm going to try the sin. add. to see if that works better

ab2,I was at a meeting one day at Detroit Diesels plant tours,that they used too have when Penski owned the co.I brought up that same question. I told them Mack said it's the engine brake causing the failure,well there were a group of guys from Waste Man.there said Mack told them the same thing.Only one prob.It was happining on there Florida trucks (no engine brakes).So heres what I think happens if that engine has the flat tappet lifter like on our Macks, the lifter would break an wipe out the cam lobe so we started using a syn.friction addi.to oil it seemed to work.There are no roller type tappets on my E6 motor I don't know what's on your's it's not a new prob. BULLHUSK

i have 2000 mack ch 613 in wich i just had to replace my camshaft . could anybody tell me what makes this happen with these engines??
