Bottom falling out on pre-emission trucks?

Originally it was designed for industrial/marine use but very common in tugboats etc. The 3408 was never intended for road trucks when designed it was piloted toward the industrial/marine market. Fact is an engine brake was never designed for the 3408 only a brake saver was offered.



Both of these motors were heavy and absolute junk except in the hands of the person, that’s when they became legend

 

@Catmando wasn't you looking for something like this it was post today on a facebook group for 12000

 

And there was one just like that I think in New Jersey that looked nice for $26,000.

 

Yes but I'am looking for the older body style early 80's ike this

 

But Thank You for remembering I appreciate it

 

Never late with a 3408!!

 

Thats what my Dad ran in his Pete along with two sticks. Crazy stories from decades past. It’s mostly grown up in weeds now sadly.

 

You want the 4300 then…?

 

Local Mack/Volvo dealer has a FULL lot of used trucks. It was never that full before Covid. Granted 10 or so were from one fleet, but they were so full they were lined up to the entrance. It wasn’t like this a few weeks ago.
