Choosing a truck

Go for the one you like best. I've done something similar twice. Once with a tanker company, a newer Volvo midroof I was assigned went into the shop; I drove a spare much older flattop freightliner for a couple weeks and decided to just keep it. Same thing with a reefer company; my fairly new condo went to the shop and I drove the spare flattop and it was much quieter and smoother and governed 4 mph lower, but I decided to keep it anyway. Both times I racked up some serious miles in the older trucks running coast to coast.

 

What model Mack? Is it a CV series or RD series? Other than the cramped cab, I found the RD688S to be very sturdy and reliable.

 

What's the engine, trans, rears and model?

 

Being a dog lover I'd keep the dog....she's much tougher than that other iron........so tell me, what color is the dog on the hood?

Only problem with that engine is the sensors.......so that pesky alarm is gonna go off and she's gonna shut down......hopefully your empty when she decides to act up.

 

The reason he was asking I presume is the Macks with the chrome dogs arent all 100% Mack parts...the one with the bronze ones are..

 

Clip some paper clips to your shirt mixer driver....if a sensor fails you can fold one in half, jump the plug and bring it in. The oil sensor is the worst on top of the filters, water is next and finally that cluster over by the fuel pump. It took me a year to get mine right.

Correct Budah..... gold is all dog , chrome is a half breed...based on what he said the rears are somebody elses.
