ThaddeusW Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Ok I saw this on eBay a little while back but it just appeared again. So I have to ask, was this setup actually offered from factory? Amazing to see an all Mack drive line with air disc brakes along with daytons. Any ideas on who made the brake components?Barry could you look this up for me if I get the VIN#?

Maxville Truck Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I've had several MR's that have had air disc brakes both on camelback and ridewell.... i belive they were meritor setups, as a matter of fact I just threw away a set of hubs with the disc on them. very good stopping power but prone to wear out fast, and very expensive to replace.... I could do a complete set of drums, shoes, and seals for 4 wheels for the less than the cost of 1 complete air disc wheel. have to change the hub to change them over though.....I still have a 18000 front with the disc on them....
