    I hear the engines are proprietary. Only Mack can work on them. Also, I was told parts are very expensive? Any truth to that? What say you, Drivers?

    If I could go buy one today this would be it, 550 Cummins, 18 Spd, 265" Wheel base, and I would dress it up of course :D:

    Your memory is wrong.
    Volvo never bought Mack.
    Mack was bought long ago by Renault.(french)
    Volvo wanted and bought Renault .
    Commercially they could not end the Mack name so they incorperated it in the Volvo group.
