i have driven just about every truck there is there aint nothing like the look and feel of a superliner if it had an e9 it would be perfect but you cant beat the old mechanical engines and longevity of the old macks those trucks were meant to last forever the kenworth is nice but after 5 years it will be falling apart

[@TheBostonTrucker]

E9 would be a game changer.

[@3408kid]

I love the look of the Kenworth and I had a Kenworth of my own It was a very good truck but I just think the new stuff has so much plastic in it and even the quality of the metal they build the frames with now aren't what they used to be I just can't see them lasting long with all those electronics and cheap plastic parts it's really a shame what a new truck cause my boss ordered a new western start tri-axle and it caused over $250,000 and we could spend $30,000 on an old Mack and it would do the same job and make us money instead of costing a bunch of money

My great uncle has a Mack Superliner as a heavy duty tow truck, then he had added a Peterbuilt rotator, then a Mack R flat bed, then a Freightliner. He was going to teach me how to drive truck and get my CDL but he pass away before I was 18 unfortunately.

[@jimallen9859]

Stone age from the frame rail's up. Totally badass,,indestructible from the frame rails down. I drove a Mack transfer unit 350hp with an 8 speed with a deep reduction. A 15 speed would've been better, but the engine pulled really well. Surprising actually. There was a hill, Altamont pass, I'd been driving a Pete with a brand new out of the crate 3406B. It pulled the hill Westbound at 40 mph. This Mack pulled at 36-37 mph at 80,000 lbs. My hot rod '65 Pete model 281 (had Rockwell SQ-100 3.70 gear's with a 12513. A Cummins hot rodded so far beyond insane, and design parameters, pulled that hill at 55 mph with 6 K-rail. 6 K-rail weigh 48,000 to 50,000 lbs. Either side. Or, 51,000 lbs of asphalt shingles. Everything else I hauled was light.

[@jimallen9859]

@@unclealansyard5176 There's a guy with a small window Peterbilt that's got a Mack V-8 in it. Hot rodded. These engines will go 1,000hp, and not even sweat. 1693TA Cat, too. C-15, and 16 too. Can squeeze 1,000 hp out of an NTC Cummins without much trouble.

Love the old Mack! The engine sounds a lot like an old Scania 6-cyl and the gear box is similar too, a 5 speed with hi/lo-split. I read that Scania helped Mack develope their direct injection engines in the 50´s. In return Scania got a licence to copy Macks buses too sell in Sweden. Kind of cool that you still can see some similarities 30 years later.

We could almost feel the difference in acceleration between the Mack and the KW. I've gone back to work a little bit, sometimes in an R Model...good times!
