Tri axle Dump, Hauling Owner Operators

Im upstate. Albany/Rochester
@Ruthless

 

Understood.. As far as Brand Im really Talking about 1990-1999 Mack info. Honestly Ive never heard of any Mack Engine that compairs to a Cat 3406 or a DT 60 series. Also I hear others mention the N-14 ect. I dont care about the truck make Im talkking setup..
Ive never had to put 60,000mi on a truck in a season so Ive never had to worry like this. My yards 10mi from a plant and i work within 20miles. D*mn thing hardly warms up when it chilly. Hahahaha

 

@Ruthless ... Hey lemme ask ya.. Do you know anything about the c12' c13? Ive only had the 3406/c15.
I seem to remember someone saying they had a C-10 in a freightliner and it was junk. Said it was underpowered and it over worked & killed the engine.

 

@Cat sdp we run Tri axles.. Yes 4 total, tandem with a drop 18/20,000lb.
Honestly ive been thinking about that though. With the weight of the drop, for hauling purposes im really not going to be able to carry much more.. Ofcourse the braking is nice with the drop.
Also as far as the Engines I really mean reliability. If your considering the horsepower of a 3406 better than the Mack to not beat the engine i understand.
