falling apart piece by piece

If you can't afford a Peterbilt then get a Mack

 

Dern right. Macks won't fall apart when you take 'em off road, so there's no need to fix 'em like you do them Petercars.

 

Not sure the new Macks are as good as the old Allentown ones!

 

Yeah old Mack's are great trucks , but the cabs rot out very bad unlike the peterbilts which are extruded aluminum.

 

I agree. they are a better quality

 

Your correct on the quality comparison. did not mean pete's are a waste of money. just there are times you can get more bang for your buck sometimes buying other than pete. MY former agent/dispatcher for steel transport, bought a pete. just because it was a pete, no other reason & he owned 3 previously. after buying & having everything gone over, 4 months later the engine threw a piston thru the side of the engine. it put him out the trucking business. or just made him want to give up on it all. it was a cummins red top. I know it was the engine & not the truck itself, but the cost of the 2000 pete with 800,000 miles cost $40,000 just cuz it was a pete.

 

You do know that that is an average of 333,333 miles per year right? 6,000,000 miles/18 years. Next time you going to throw numbers out make them a little more believeable.

 

Shakers aren't made for off road, heck the dashes crack on highway trucks. Get yourself a Canadian built Western Star or older Mack, you won't be sorry.

 

There are very few century class trucks that come in our shop that don't have just about the entire dash broken or falling apart. All of them are broke at the park brake valves.

Throw away trucks...
