I started working as a mechanic apprentice at Mack in 1978. The 864 & 865 had longevity issues but they were BEASTS. Great sound and a truckload (pun intended) of torque.
@boblackey1 Жыл бұрын
I remember hearing the V8 would break too soon on average. I worked in the ready mix business ( retired now) and we were mostly Mack for years. The few V8 tractors we had hauling stone in dump trailers could eat up a hill jack. Cummins and Detroit didn't have it like the Mack V8. But the longevity thing apparently was more likely than not so they faded from the highways. For 2, 3, 400 thousand miles if you drive one you were king of the hills with a heavy load. Man they had the torque!!!!

Our company had a 3 cab over V-8's with 5 speeds. I never got to drive them. They were always have problems with anti-freeze boil overs or leaks and it was real hard on wheel seals in the rear axles. Apparently the torque from the motor would literally twist the entire axle shaft under a load. They lasted about 2 years and then the boss got rid of them because of the constant repairs.

864 was much different than 865/866. 864 was the original V8 (1962) and was smaller bore and longer stroke, not good engines at all. Catastrophic failure was their trademark. They were also all Thermodyne operating range, as the Maxidyne concept hadn't even been launched until 1967 with the ENDT-675 6 cylinder and ENDT-865 V8 shortly thereafter. 865/866 were the same engine, 865 being a 325 HP Maxidyne and 866 being a 375 HP Thermodyne. They also had issues, but it was mainly annoyance items like liner seals and head gaskets. Coolant circulation issues and overheating were also problems, especially in the Maxidyne.

The E9 and DC16 are also the same block. Sadly the E9 was killed after Volvo found out they we're trying to revive it. Imagine if Mack still had a v8 in today's rigs.

Learned to drive on a Mack 237 with a 5 speed, no power steering. The old adage: If you can drive a Mack 5 speed, you can drive anything still applied. In 36 years I went from 237's to super Sixes, 300+'s, 350's, 400's and 450's. All inline 6's with 10 and 13 speeds. My ultimate ride was a 300+ mated with a 5 speed and a 3 position air shifter and a hand shift creeper gear. That would go up the hills with ease. The transmission was perfect for travelling in the Hills of northern Pennsylvania. All spring suspension on a long wheelbase. It had a really good Bostrom air seat that made the ride livable. Mack stopped making the transmission because of the cost.

After years of floating, they whine, howl, jump out of gear and with damaged synchro's. They'll no longer shift correctly even if you tried. Saw guys use bungee cords to hold em high gear.
