mackdaddy1911a1 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'm no expert but at that RPM you have a Maxicruise engine. Max RPM s on a MACK engine is listed (in my books) as 2100. Of coarse that is if you don't want to void the warranty and I'll bet that is not and issue with your truck. However if you want her to last I would go by the MACK recomendation for the longest possible life and to ease some of the possible headaches. Good luck and safe travels.MATT Quote THE GREATEST NAME IN TRUCKS MACK TRUCKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
