Popular Post Hans Remmers Posted March 30 Popular Post Share Posted March 30 No association, it looks like its been through hell but still a cool truck. I think it was on truckpaper a few years ago in much nicer shape. Can't be too many like this. https://www.truckpaper.com/listings/trucks/for-sale/212844179/1991-mack-mh613 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Couple of dollars and it will be good as new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZB755V8 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Think is going to take a LOT MORE than a couple of dollars just to get it running again. That old girl has been rode hard. Price reflects what you get Bones with hardly any meat left hanging on. Does have a wounded E9 with P7100 inline pump that is probably the most valuable thing there as a core engine. Hope it stays away from any boat ride!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 it needs an engine bob. the one currently in it is apart. and the interior is most likely messed up too with all the removed engine parts stuffed in the passenger side.

tjc transport Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 it is still a rare animal, but i would expect to put about 20 grand into it to make it rite. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Mark T Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Looks like a big steer in it too. 20K might not scratch the surface in this day and age. Always a little apprehensive when you see the charge air in the passenger seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 It’s just a CAC in the cab. I wouldn’t say it needs an engine. All It says is engine overheats and it’s sucking the large air filter tube flat. Pry just needs a new one as they are rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup and overheating could be a lot of simple things too. So saying it needs an engine is a little aggressive. I think for the price they are asking is beyond fair especially that it’s MH and a E9!

Also keep in mind just because a cab is dirty doesn’t mean it wasn’t serviced meticulously. I have plenty of trucks at work that I think are over serviced but the cabs are shit box’s. I’m a very particular person and I try to keep alot clean even the cabs but I gave up. Bottom line is it isn’t the mechanics job to keep the cosmetics up to par. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I also don’t think I need to explain myself to you, you have been around the block a lot more then I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 agree on that. at baskins, one driver ; real good hard working guy didn't have care for cleaning inside. i tipped the cab =IH 4070 opened both doors climbed on a ladder let the steam cleaner go. at coke same ' good guy; no one myself included wanted to go near the truck.that one stunk for trash. far as the MH it's any bodys call. battery box off (dead?) have to be there to find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 also the mechanic was put in parenthesis for a reason. don't know who decided to pull eng apart. maybe it ran a little with disconnected filter ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 It actually bothers me quite a bit how these guys treat these trucks. A lot of times I tell myself “nope I’m not f’in with it” then next thing you know it’s got a full detail. Now I have learned to just let it go….

Onyx610 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 The only reason for the “8inch hose getting sucked flat” is the air filter clogged. If the cac boots are the turbo is shot 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have learned to just let it go…. i had a major discussion with super when i started at baskin. questioned why a fleet hauling food product looked worse then the concrete company mixers down the street. a paint /cleanup process started. after teaming up with a REAL good MECHANIC , work was a pleasure every day. fleet was mechanically fit to the best of our knowledge and clean. A DOT inspector told me once;" when we see the baskins in line at the scale house , we flag them by" , it took alot of work over 6 1/2 yrs to get and keep the fleet there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx610 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Very nice work, I can appreciate that. Most people just don’t give an F anymore. I don’t get it. A lot don’t even try to take pride in their work… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
