rsb502 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Eh, the early emissions trucks meaning pre dpf or massive egr can be OK, my 04 Granite did OK. I would rather have an early 04 back too but some companies won't let you run anything over 10 yes old so ya know. I think I could buy a 03 back CHN with an Etech and rebuild or replaceveverything in the drive train with warrantied reman components, repaint it and replace the interior for under $75000 and it would last a hell of a lot longer than this new junk. 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel67 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I know it's not related to this mack topic, but we are a dealer for Terex off road dump trucks, Terex lately took a position to deny as many warranty claims as possible to keep the profit margins up. So we deal with a lot of angry end users, and mostly we try to help them out thru our own check book. I guess it's corporate policy to go this route and screw the end users.

bts-4120 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 sure would be nice if Mack sold glider kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Seems to me you could order any truck without a rear or transmission and you wouldn't have to call it a glider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
