Yeah your right in the virgin island we use straight old dogs aha Mack rd and stuff like that they pull loads like nothing they never die with out a fight !

Then the thermodyne would haul all day and sip fuel.

This is great!

I'm with you on that.

I've never driven a bad Mack.

Thank you ☺️

Cool video brother. Nice to see you in the black beauty. Dig that dog! Last Bulldog I drove was an Ultraliner for KAT out of Indiana in 88. Truck it safe.

Oh yeah, I loved the Superliner I got to drive, only had it 2 years until the company shit the bed financially. Nicknamed her Wondermutt, always wondered what it couldn't pull, the only Mack I was happy to drive.

Thanks Mat

I'm from PA, and they use to make em in Allentown, PA, but ever since Volvo took over, it's sucked the toughness out of that brand. First company I drove for had a 2013 Mack that dumped all of its oil on the ground the first week I was in it. The second had DPF problems 2 weeks in a row. Finally they put me in a Kenworth with a cummins and that thing was much more reliable. Then the dicks took me out of that and put me in a natural gas volvo and that's when I quit to go elsewhere.

I love the driving the old Mack!

I remember Sharkey and I remember their Ultraliners, green & yellow trucks.

Thank you 😌

You're blowing my mind! Thank you 😊

You should mount another engine brake switch on side of the gear lever so you can turn your engine brake on and off quicker and easier without having to take your hand off the gear stick and grope around on the dash for it. That way you can use it to decelerate the engine quicker in an upshift too if you want. Just run two wires down your gear stick and join them to the two wires at the other switch in behind the dash, so you have two switches wired in parallel. I drove a Mack with a twelve speed like that for years and it worked great. Our head mechanic worried if it ever shorted out and sparked on the gearstick it might cause arcing inside the transmission, so I made sure it was really really well insulated and I was allowed to keep it like that. When I left the company it only took me a minute to unplug my wires and remove my switch and the rig was back to its original condition again.

I'm surprised it doesn't have the spring switch on the clutch pedal for the Dynatard. I thought that was standard stuff.

One of very few places known by its area code for having the best trucks!

Thanks I appreciate it! Was that you I was chasing today?

@@TheBostonTrucker yes it was hahaha I wanted to tell you I was one of your subscribers ! Keep up the good work buddy. Love your videos

I appreciate you ☺️

You don’t want to drive the new macks they are gutless pieces of junk

I'll say one thing, this Mack rides tremendously!

Thanks Levi

So true 🤣

I dream of getting back in a 359 so let's make a deal! 😀

Your Grandpa got lucky that day! Same accident today I don't know.

😀😀

Makes sense to me.

You're welcome

Remember when you use to be first?

@@TheBostonTrucker hahaha I’ve been busy and I haven’t been watching much of anyone’s videos

Thank you 😊

😊

Yet I still work 6 days a work! 😁 Thanks Brother!

Thank you

😂😂😂

@@TheBostonTrucker I thought you said "vulva guy"

That's awesome! I use to use the long roll from my mom's wrapping paper as a stick shift and big mixing bowl as my steering wheel.

🤣😂 that's a good one!

I think you're right. I'm thinking back to 425's that I've driven, they didn't have much more power.

@@TheBostonTrucker oh for sure the Mack 350 was definitely a great motor one that was like said in the video understated and could definitely run with a Cummins or Cat. Personally I'm a model R guy my great uncle had one and he hauled smelting coke with it too bad he rolled it though

Was the 425 kitty and the big cam missing a few injector lines ?? Wooof. Had my share of em all. I couldn't agree with the mack attack theory.

Mack’s power rating was to the wheels. That’s why you’d see 350 Macks running with bigger 400 hp engines

It's the valueliner

🤫🤫🤫

Interesting top 3 for sure, great choices!

Like riding on a cloud!

Thanks Kevin

Yes 👍

😁

Keep on truckin

😱😳😁

It's a Mack Superliner. I'll do a twin stick video someday when I pull out 1963 Autocar out of storage.

Ok I meant what your actually driving at 0.18 it's part of your intro in this video it shows you briefly driving a twin stick.

😁

I'll have one tomorrow! I'm happy you want more!

It's a damn shame! Wonder if we'll see Macks in Europe soon.

@@TheBostonTrucker It’s rare, but I have seen a few videos of superliner’s in Europe and they have some pretty wild paint schemes.

Thank you 😊

Never heard this before. I've only driven two trucks with the 12 speed but neither one has had Winter issues.

@@TheBostonTrucker When it's really cold at least the many 12's I've driven would take a while to warm up so we would just straight stick them.

You're absolutely correct!

I'll have to work on that 🙂

That would be great 👌

🤭🤭🤭

Do you prefer the older R or the newer Mack?

I actually like the newer ones for comfort, I'm A big guy. The R cabs are just tight for me. At Heimlich we have 4 R and RD's left in the fleet. All the tractors are mostly newer pinnacles with M drives. 1 1998 CH with camel back to move our trommel screener,it gets into rough areas the best. And I don't mind the Volvo ownership.

Got my camera ready!
