Are Macks any good for dependability? Looking to drive regional

It wouldnt happen to be a venezia truck would it?

 

I never seen the MP8 mated to an Endurant transmission. Typically it's a Mdrive or a manual transmission. Just like the Volvo D13 will only have a I-shift as an option for an automatic

Did you mean an Eaton Fuller 13speed? The Endurant is the 12speed automatic from Eaton. Also 7 year old truck with 250k what did these trucks do? In the shop more then on the road?

 

Mack’s belong in the truck cemetery with Mercedes engines

 

3 things u should always follow

1. Keep the living God first (aka Jesus Christ ) in everything u do
2. Cherish Life
3. Never ever ever step foot in a mack

 

The last Mack I drove was a brand new ( at that time) 2008 with the 505 hp mp8 and a 10 speed . That thing would pull . The only problem was it spent more time in the shop than it did on the road. Constant problems with emissions junk , electrical problems of all sorts. That thing quit me one night ( and I've never seen this happen before or after that night) it lost all the lights then died wouldn't start. I popped the hood and saw the alternator had melted a hole in the side of it big enough to put your fist in. That Mack was nothing but trouble.

 

A 2012 Mack is basically a Volvo with an old Mack cab on it. I like Volvos. I like Macks too, but for OTR you get much better creature comforts in a Volvo.

 

Remember the first two.

And the old Macks have bought you life so you can remember the first two when off road pending death.

 

you forget to mention the 19 i have with the 445mp8 motor coupled to a mdrive auto/ manual trans. Went in the shop before it turned 7k miles due to one of the drive axle seals leaking. Other than that im at 78k with no issues knock on wood.
