Allied1 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hi all,I'm looking at purchasing a 2001 Mack Qantum 470.Would this be running a Mack motor or Renault?Any feedback on their reliability or overall performance would be appreciated. Good or Bad.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 It would have a Mack EA7-470 E-Tech engine.I suggest you contact your local Mack dealer's service manager. After telling him the history, mileage and condition of this particular truck, he should be able to give you some guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamkar Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 G'day mate, i would prefer a late 02 model onwards, they used a R series chassis and rockwell fr. axle etc. The earlier Qantums where more Renalt than Mack-hard to work on, hard to get parts for and more exspensive. i have an 03 mod, it's only real downfall is the eng fan cycles way to much-not enough opening at the front. Beware of wiring/electrical issues, been told many times that some were real 'lemons'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
