Re: Brand new f$cking trucks with TONS of problems
I was talking about miles a mechanical motor driven full time in the city.... as in 500,000 miles. not $500,000 LOL
Last I checked a Mack E6 will cost me about $1,600 in liners,pistons,bearings rings etc... if I did the Heads the machine shop would ask about $800 for both heads. Sounds about the same as your Small cam would be. I have yet to hear anyone able to rebuild a Newer Cat,Cummins,Mack, or Detroit for twice that price. Seams every time a truck goes into a dealership for engine work its a minimum of $1000. Heck a tru flo air compressor that once cost $150 is now double that. im not knocking any brand of truck I just really hate to see owners get a brand new truck and then see all these problems that older trucks dident have. |

Re: Brand new f$cking trucks with TONS of problems
And none of the air compressors last anymore, they're a disappointment! It cost me about $250.00 last time my Mack's ECM had to have a "Mental Enema"!

Re: Brand new f$cking trucks with TONS of problems
I guess I got spoiled with the DT466B's, D239 , DT239 , small cam up to big cam 3 cummins . Almost in framed a 237(675) mack , dad got cheep and parked it loved that old U with the rogers detachable . No , we'll be fine moving the big iron on the 18T converted from an 12T trailjunk .The only trailer I ever had to jack down onto the hitch empty I hated that POS even when it was a 12T . I never got the chance to drive anything with a puter on the motor cept my dodge (still tempted to put a P7100 on it ).
