Had a group of new Macks come in not too long ago, standard cab chassis mp7 powered with the M-Drive. Within one month every one has been in the shop or sent back to Bruckners for MAJOR problems. A driver was heading to the job in one and felt the steering go wonky, he pulls over and finds the steering gear box IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. He (stupidly) tightens it with a crescent wrench and gets it back home. So far no more problems from that truck yet.
Okay, On to the Next Truck... Going down the road it completely shuts off just out of the blue. We have yet to hear back from Bruckners about this one. I feel that I should also mention on every Truck by 50k miles the flex pipe bend in the exhaust where it exits the dpf to the stack had completely separated allowing hot gases to blow all around those sensitive DPF wires.
Oh and every single one of them leaks air around the Door, its like riding in a old wooden shack going down the highway. Furthermore unless you are a midget you have to have the seat on the floor just to see out of the Mirrors, I'm 6 foot 4 and even sitting on the floor i have to bend down to get a full view.
What has happened to Mack? I can still remember how tough the old DMs used to be. These new Macks are comfortable but they seem to be complete garbage.
Mack... What happened to you?

Well, why do you guys buy that crap in the 1st place? Got to be some old Superliners around you can rebuild them forever.
ok, the Camelback is a bit much, but you could drop these off a cliff, and be on the job the next day,
