    And you most likely never will again. Volvo makes the motors now. Mack don't make them anymore. Sad sad days for the Mack's...

    Give me a dog any day. Company just bought a 2014 granite day cab. mp8 505 with 13 speed and 3.77 rear end. The truck is a monster. Im very surprised eith the way it pulls 35 tons of rock in thegravel bucket. Gross anywhere fron 90,00 yo 107,000. Traded in a 2007 w900l 475 kitty cat for this puppy dog. Best move we ever made. Gold dogs on the hood means all mack parts. Mack motor, mack transmission, mack rear end.

    Well, got my regular truck back this morning. So far so good, no oil leak and seems to have more power. I think I'm gonna keep it unless things start going wrong with it. (which is known to happen when trucks come back from this particular shop) Thanks to all for the replies!
