New Mack vs old Peterbilt

Mack builds TRUCKS.

 

brand new Mack vs old Pete pretty easy call for me Mack but I would run the mack to the shop they don't rattle someone dropped the ball on putting the dash in

 

When I hauled gas, we had BRAND NEW Macks. They ALL literally went to the shop twice a week. That us a totally trash brand if trucks these days, in my opinion. It's no competition, I'd take the Pete. 05 isn't even very old.

 

New(er) Macks are a joke, nothing but problems, especially turbos and wiring. Plus various vibration and quality control( lack there of).Glorified Volvo's unfortunately ,and all the volvo problems. . Definetly not the MACK of old days.

 

MACK is US styled VOLVO, with D13 EPA2012 engine (DPF+SCR+EGR) and M-drive is really I-shift. Mack powertraine got minor software difference with Volvo.

Dashboard is by VDO but in Mack style, really inside the same processor and screen (with other light).

What really differ: cab and suspention

 

I will say this. Those mDrive automatics are NICE! Fast shifting, skip gears if you're lightweight. I loved them.

 

i-shift shares TCM with ZF as-tronic/freedom, but I-shift box is the Volvo 12st ore 14 tranny, inside like a manual Volvo box (it is available on cabovers only). So I'd say I-shift (M-drive is I-shift with Mack logo), is one of the best autos. The new generation got coaxial clutch actuator and less problems with clutch actuator by Knorr, so notisable with first gen. I-shift and ZF.

I shift is available on Renault (OPTIDRIVER) and SISU. Really the only difference is Shifter in cab.))) LOL. Globalisation))))
