Mack Superliner is Alive! Long time coming!

[@AlanSextonVT]

It's like watching a surgeon skillfully saving his patient.

[@AppalachianRust]

My thoughts too haha

[@bertgrau3934]

That old Mack sure sounds good. I drove a 78 Mack Superliner with the 283/285 horsepower Mack engine, 2 stick 6 speed transmission, 3.87 drive gears. I really like those older Mack's. The engines, transmissions. Tough trucks.

[@johnkraus5204]

Your channel has perfect content. Repairing, driving, farming, construction... it's perfect!

[@AppalachianRust]

Thank you I appreciate it

[@johnnyholland8765]

I drove a 1984 model Superliner for a while when I worked for a logging company in the mid eighties. Was silver with black trim and a long frame. Had the deluxe interior in it. There was an older gentleman started driving it when bought new. He retired and I got it at about 200,000 miles but it was still like new. Had the 350 Mack engine and a nine speed in it. Took a little getting use to that big hood as I had been driving an R model. Really enjoyed it while I had it.

[@AppalachianRust]

@@johnnyholland8765 yeah it’s a big difference, I normally haul stone on a DM so even shorter hood. I’ve only played around in the Superliner so far haven’t made a haul since it’s been fixed. This one’s got a lot of miles on it as well, before we had it

[@HitokiriRaiden]

Its always nice to have someone that knows all the little tricks and ins and outs to make the job go smoothly.

[@AppalachianRust]

Yes, sure does

[@MrYahoo74]

Those e6’s are great engines , sounds like it’s got a lot of life left in it 👍🏽

[@ralphnorris-vk8ff]

That is my favorite Mack engine! Will run a million plus miles if you take care of it!

[@AppalachianRust]

@@ralphnorris-vk8ff this trucks got the miles on it, not sure how many but it did a world of work before we got it and we’ve had drivers in it for some time. Now that it’s just 3 of us and we’ve got it running I’ll get around to hauling in it.

[@paulroxby8169]

Keep on truckin

[@AppalachianRust]

Yes sirrr

[@israelswearingen8219]

[@AppalachianRust]

Thank you glad you enjoyed

[@MarkGrant-ew3wk]

Good morning James the e 6 350 are great engines and super liners are probably my favorites I love the equipment you guys have I just don't have the talent to fix things looking forward to see superliner hualing 😊

[@AppalachianRust]

Yeah uncle Sammy knows his stuff. He has rebuilt engines out on the job site before, on some heavy equipment

[@danielfontaine1880]

Bonjour James ! belle vidéo de mécanique ; mais ce n'est pas pour des apprentis mécano ce que vous avez vérifier ! 🙂 meme de l'intérieur ce moteur est beau ! et les petits coup de gaz :quelle sonorité j'adore merci et salutation 👍👍👍

[@AppalachianRust]

Thanks glad you found it interesting

[@Ledwards22]

Ole boy was ready for the runaway. Truly skilled guys!! Awesome video!!

[@AppalachianRust]

Haha yeah. Seen it before. We fired up a ol V8 r700 and it started to take off like a freight train. Dad was ready to choke it down on that one.. that was before I started making videos

[@CharlesSmith-ty2ce]

NICE THANKS JAMES SOUNDS GREAT

[@AppalachianRust]

Does sound good and seems to be running well

[@kenburns4802]

Hello James your Father and Uncle great video love that old girl up and running beautiful thanks for taking us along you guys work great together James how did the apple butter turn out thank you ken

[@AppalachianRust]

Thank you. It turned out great, went through a jar already and gave out some for Christmas gifts

[@kevinharms5558]

Up in British Columbia here, all the supperliners are 8s because of the logging. You don't see the 6s. The R models are concrete trucks and the odd gravel truck. In all though very few Macks

[@EdStrong929]

Great work, can't wait to see it back in action earning it's keep!

[@AppalachianRust]

Yes sirrr

[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]

I owned a 2002 mack vision sleeper truck had the mack E7 engine let me tell ya you had to be a diesel mechanic to work on it!! Now that Volvo owns mack doesn't even know anything about mack!!! Nice mack them we're the good ones super liners R models yep though trucks... great job. Happy new year 🎉🎉🎉 I bet them horns are loud

[@austinhenry7626]

Thanks for the video! Your Uncle Sammy is one hell of a guy!

[@AppalachianRust]

He knows his stuff

[@mariemansel-glass8296]

we had a lifter face just like that one just completely fall off in our e6-250 it sure has caused a lot of trouble but we are slowly working on putting it together in our 87 mack rd

[@AppalachianRust]

Yeah this trucks been in our shop for over a year just slowly working on it and checking everything close. We had it in once like I said to fix the lifter and camshaft and there was a piece of metal left behind that caused the second problem. Never can tell though I’ve heard trucks coming out of a professional shop and something happening to them.

[@JeronWhite]

Good old mack

[@AppalachianRust]

Absolutely

[@Neg-Ice]

Great content brother.

[@AppalachianRust]

Much appreciated

[@Noelzsazsa]

Best Mack ever built you need to drop a EM9 V8 in a Superliner i am working out if i can run one in my 6x6 Mack i am going to fit a Superliner bonnet/hood if the RPM doesn't work out with the V8 i will take the electronics off a EA7 and work it up i enjoyed watching thanks mate

[@AppalachianRust]

@@Noelzsazsa nice, sounds like you’ve got a big project. We had another motor that we could have made work, it’s a later e7, if this one wasn’t able to be fixed. But it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

[@Noelzsazsa]

@AppalachianRust hi mate the E6 are a very good engine you have some good equipment I have always been into Mack's I will keep watching you the older Mack's are still very popular with guys that do site excavation for builders here we cart 5 tonne excavator in the tipping body my mate has done a cabin lift 12 inches on air bags and has a custom bonnet/hood he made with a slope down to the front and dual air can's with the hi rise air scoops and dual 5 inch stacks running around 500 HP not a fancy chrome truck more like yours yeah I am semi retired and do a bit of site work myself and just play about with my trucks and work to fund my truck projects I will try to email you some pictures of what we have going on down here thank you

[@AppalachianRust]

@ thanks I appreciate the interest in the channel. Basically for use like you said we are just keeping the old trucks running and working them. It takes a lot of time and money to make them show truck worthy. But they look good working too

[@DustyGroundHog]

Sounds real good ,put her to work.

[@AppalachianRust]

Definitely

[@lucidrain9469]

Nice Rig!

[@AppalachianRust]

Thanks

[@Kyle-ir3bz]

Nice!!!!!

[@AppalachianRust]

Glad you enjoyed

[@adf-meclub489]

She's ready for work.

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

Sounds like a 6v92 Detroit diesel engine if so I'll catch ya on the next one

[@AppalachianRust]

It’s a 350 Mack but does sound much different than the 237

[@Maddogtrucking]

4V 350s ran good if you had a little fuel turned up and a good transmission behind it. Nothing like a big C15 Cat but for their day considering their smaller displacement

[@drdr9452]

I’m about to buy a 89 superliner dump rw613 what model is yours? And do you know how to tell if the truck was made to be a dump or been converted?

[@AppalachianRust]

@@drdr9452 well that’s going to be to do with the axels first and then the frame. I’ll try to gather a little more information on this truck. It’s an 86 but the exact model I’ll get back to you on

[@thewhitesloth9408]

kinda cheesy but hope this passes for a comment
