Green Dash Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I was at work last night driving a Mack, listening to Fleetwood Mac, eating a Big Mac, and thinking of ways to reinvent Mac & Cheese, when for some unknown reason my thoughts turned to Mack trucks.I think I got the model numbers right. I was wondering when the 10 &12 speed Maxitorques were first offered. I was thinking mid 70's but the ENDT866 had already been out for a few years. Were these trannies available then or was there another model to put behind the big 375hp Thermodyne? Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post j hancock Posted September 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2014 The Maxitorque 5 speed came out with the introduction of the ENDT675 Maxidyne in 1966. By 1970, other Maxitorque trans combinations were available depending on type of use. Needed a stout transmission for 325 HP Maxidyne V8. 4 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Green Dash Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Thanks for the replies. I've never seen one in any of the steel dash model years.Multi tasking was we?Yeah, but I was doing it safely. I had the cruise control set so there was no need to watch the road or hold the steering wheel. 2 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 If I remember right,the first ones didn't have reverse on the knob where you could have 5 reverse gears,just a hi and lo split Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 The early ones were basically a 5 speed with a back box, with direct and low on the other stick, or a direct and overdrive on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
