What you have to figure in is how many weeks that new stuff is going to cost in downtime compared to that B out there ridin around. I had a 92 3406B and ran 7.0 mpg quarter over quarter with flatbed.
Which truck/engine combo?

Also, I've had a couple bad experiences with "throw away" yellow engines. -
The 550 E model i drive is at 1.7mil and does what we ask every day. Never spent more than a day down since i started in march, and the pete store brings the parts to us every morning.
Tanksmuch and Trucker186 Thank this. -
@Zeviander i agree with your Mack assessment except that the mp8 has a history of bad injectors & cups. The 2018 model tried to address it by going to slave setup and common rail but talking to my local Mack shop, they're not immune to injector problems still.
spsauerland, Tanksmuch and Zeviander Thank this. -

I said they may have changed it over last couple of years, a quick google says the rear pto option wasn’t available until end of 2016, so that puts them in 2017 and up trucks..
Tanksmuch Thanks this. -

Tanksmuch Thanks this. -
What kind of fuel economy do you get? What rear gear? I'm very hesitant to run the 2.xx gear ratio.
Thank you for your input! -
Tanksmuch Thanks this.
