Some of you need to take the time & research the facts. The E9 was big in its day up against GM's, 3406B's etc so dont compare it to C15's, Signatures & so on. The E9@500hp only produced 1660ft/lb of torque not 1850 & 2050 like the newer 6 cylinder engines so grossing 38t with the drag of 48 tyres under float & dolly may steady er up abit. Beautiful, unmistakable sound & legends of the road.

@@blackflagqwerty Yeah I remember when Detroit Diesel Silver Series 8V92TTA DDEC came out with 475hp. In 1988 I nearly went halves in a secondhand W series KW with new a new Silver and I even remember the price being $60k. The engine had no mileage and was new. I agonized over the decision. I said no because the other half of the operation was a useless lazy bastard who relied on people like me to get by in life and I correctly reasoned I'd end up doing all the work. Added to that he had bad body odour which would have made me angry every day. I miss that I never drove a 2 stroke Detroit in anger though. Despite what all the KZbin experts say about Detroits having a narrow powerband, in pull down tests Dyno Smith YT channel shows the torque band of these engines is very broad compared to even modern 4 stroke Diesels and not narrow at all, though to be fair less than the torque of modern 35psi boost inline 6s. A good Silver might just crack 1400ft/lbs but holds 80% of that torque from 1700 down to 900rpm. You'd expect that since being 2 stroke because they have double the power strokes. For example my (not mine but company) Sig Cummins has over 2000ft/lbs but the torque goes right out of it below 1150rpm and over 1400rpm, though the power of it incredibly impressive esp on hills. Fully loaded I'm astonished at what it passes on hills and not just crawl past at 1-2kays but like 30kmh.

@@ThePaulv12 I would have expected the two stroke to have double the power stroke. The Atkinson twin steer with a 3000 litre fuel tank and 2000 litre water tank integrated in body with 20 feet to spare I drove for Gorey and Cole Drilling had twin turbos and a super charger. 8v92TA (?) 22 Spicer and it hauled arse! I'd catch empty crates heading north through the hills from Alice Springs with two 40 foot flat tops over loaded with RC drill rods, mud mix etc. We got caught once by the scaleys, 30t over weight on the whole lot.

What mighty, mighty trucks the old Superliners were in their day. You knew you were in something special if you found yourself looking out over a bonnet that resembles the flight deck of an aircraft carrier.
@TombstoneHeart6 жыл бұрын
I used to drive those old Mack Superliners and in their day they were one of the most popular road train prime movers available. Everyone knew when a Superliner was coming from that great burbling, barking exhaust pipe note. The Toowomba Range was just one a couple of pretty daunting jump ups coming off the coastal plains of Queensland and climbing up onto the inland plains. The Drummond Range inland from Gladstone / Rockhampton used to make me turn the radio down and start concentrating and dragging doubles up or down the old Mingela Range in north Queensland was a real learning experience. Roads and driving conditions are just not the way they used to be and that's a good thing. I learned the transport game by travelling with my Dad all over most parts of Western Australia, especially the Gascoyne and Pilbara and it was a tough job back then. Coming up from Perth in those days, when the bitumen ended at Northampton and stayed that way for years, you had to be pretty inventive and full of initiative to get home some times. Floods, bush fires, dust storms, break downs and even tyre fires were just some of the problems old time Aussie truckies faced. My Dad and his mate once put out a tyre fire by smashing in the top of a wooden keg of beer with an axe and throwing the contents on the fire.

What they're taking as grinding is the turbo's dumping boost and the Maxi-torque tranny splitting gears. If they never run a Mack tranny they'd have to learn how to shift all over again.

What great old honest trucks the the Super Liners were. Very basic but functional in the cab with a great gearbox and power to burn. And what a view from the cab over that huge bonnet...like looking at the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. If you were on the ground when one went passed, you'd know it was a the big 500 from that wonderful crackling exhaust note. A bit like listening to a Manx Norton motor through a megaphone exhaust pipe. Lotsa memories there.

They aren't the most powerful trucks any more, but they possess more than their gross weight in character and are both acceptably economical and reliable if driven by a good driver, like this one here.
