Bought My 1St Truck


Recommended Posts

I was just having that conversation down at the Mack dealer the other day...about people who spec vendor transmissions and rears in their "Mack" truck. If I wanted an Eaton transmission or Meritor rears, I'd buy a Cornbinder. I bought my Mack to get a Mack truck...and the only way to TRULY do that is to have a Mack engine, Mack transmission, and Mack rears. If'n it ain't got that gold bulldog on the hood, I'm not interested. B)

...and as for the exhaust, I like my stacks short and the baffles knocked out of the mufflers. :thumb:

The first few years of the CX were not even available with Mack driveline. My first choice would have been all Mack as well, but I bought mine off the lot and got a hell of a deal as the dealer really wanted to move the truck. Eaton super 10 and spicer axles 1.2 million miles and counting...original U-joints as well. Also 600 lbs. lighter than Mack components. I would say my specs have proved worthy and paid for themselves with extra payload over the last 10 years.
