Popular Post Terry T Posted June 11, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2013 I thought there was a thread with MH picutres but I just spent the past 1/2 hour looking.This is one of the 21 MH613's that we ran back in the 80's/90's. This is unit 410. 400 was the 1st MH613 and our last one was a used truck purchase which also happened to be a Freedom Edition number 420.I drove several of them including 420 (The Freedom) and really enjoyed the ride for a cabover. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 If its a V8 that's the thump, those big pistons moving around make some racket.

bbigrig Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 bbigrig, what is the thumping noise you say you miss on that MH picture in your galley?The drivers that had never driven the MH with the E9500 and were slipped into it for a few runs would always say "when she pulls hard on the hills it sounds like the engine thumps" Most drivers at that time with us had never driven an E9. They had no idea The Whispering Giant had a different sound to it. The ironic part is that the MH with the E9 was far quieter inside then the MH with the E6 we had.We had a very mild muffler on that truck to get the natural sound out of her with those tall exhaust pipes. Some call it a "warble", some call it a "thump", I call it the best damn engine sound I've ever heard......Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I'm waiting patiently for a gentleman who has 2 MH's with E9's to sell them to me. He tells me when he is ready I get first dibbs!!! Until then, I miss that "Thumping" noise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry T Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Back in '91/'92 when I was running across I-80 in PA on a regular basis there were two Magnum's, one MH and one Superliner pulling dump buckets. I always heard them before they got next to my trailer and felt them after they were next to my trailer. Didn't matter if we were headed up hill, down hill or across one of the short flat spots they would walk the dog right on by me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 trucks I am waiting for are in amazing condition and are driven very little. The company that owns them is waiting to shed them from the fleet and have equipment that willl need to be swaped from the 2 trucks to newer units. I have bought from this gentleman before. Its only a matter of time and for their condition and the way the keep them up, it will be worth the wait.Thanks again though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 This one was for sale overhere about a year ago.The price was too far from to be nice and you can note the scale of disaster on it.I have seen the same truck for sale locally about 14 years ago. It was solid with a damaged engine although for reasonable money.Although it was too out of my pocket and needs those days.Probably had E6-350 under the hood cab.
