Around 1988 early 90’s my Dad Hauled Coal in Eastern Kentucky with Big Black Mack SuperLiner or The Super Dog as we called it. It was A Beast, I remember times seeing 70 MPH Loaded with 55 to 60 Ton of Coal on its Back. Those were the fun days of growing up. I miss my dad so much.
The superliner in my opinion was one the best looking Macks hands down! They were beautiful work trucks!
Joseph Romano one of the strongest on the road . I prefer a 18 speed . Imagine that truck with a MP-10 and a 18 Eaton a old look with new technology
You’re exactly right Sir,
Wouldn't be possible without the even greater and mightier R model. :-)
Super puppy!
I took a guided tour of the Mack museum,at their plant in Allentown PA, a few yrs back. A nice elderly gentleman was our tour guide. It was just the wife & me. He gave us each a bronze bull dog hat pin & gave me a couple of free books. They had a cab over with a turbine engine in it. Experimental. Very interesting tour. It was free also. My kind of tourist trap!!!
My dad drove Freightliners when I was a kid and we got to ride with in the summer.The company bought an 86 Superliner for Dad and he had to yell at us to not slam the doors so hard because we were used to those junk doors on Freightliners. The steel Mack cab and doors worked real nice.
To me, the Aussie Mack's are hands down a much better, more tough, mean pulling-looking truck than any N.American ones. Something about the lifted cab and hood "gap" compared to N.Am trucks and the twin intakes...etc and rear curved fenders. Aussie's got really good taste in making their trucks look very badass.
Now this is a true story. # 7 the cartoon character Gribble with a Mack hat mimics a company that I drove for in 1986 when I got out of the U. S. Army. There name was Gribble Trucking in Somerset Pa. They had an all Mack fleet and I have hauled freight from Hagerstown Mack and Macgue Mack to other Mack warehouses etc. So sometimes fictional characters imitate life. There out of business now however it was a true trucking company that ran all 48 states back in the day. My 2 trucks were a R model named turbo wagon and a ultraliner named the pirates carriage.
Drove several Superliners back in the 90s. 550 with a18 speed back then hurt a lot of people's feelings.
Here’s a few more facts: Mack had a factory in Brisbane, Australia which is where we got our Macks from. The vast majority of Australian Superliners had the 16.4 litre E9 V8. We had the E9 V8 ultimately set to 610 HP, which as far as I know was never such a high HP option in North America. We also had CAT, GM and Cummins options. A few had CAT 3408s. Just about all our Superliners had air starters. Those Bi-Centennial Macks are worth a fortune now, they fetch very big dollars when one comes up for sale. In fact any V8 Superliner is worth big bucks.
you need to do more "V-8 Sound" vidyas Buddy.
Is mack U.S. the same as mack australia or are they the same company ?
@@kawanbrownlee9724 Same company, but here in Australia we have a Mack factory where they are built for Australian conditions. Owned by Volvo now, and a lot of Australian guys say because of that they aren’t real Macks anymore. They use a Volvo engine and transmission.
As far as I know the E-9 500 was the hottest setup we ever got in North America. One interesting thing is all the C model Mack’s with E9’s I’ve ever seen have an air throttle, not sure why they did that.
@@J.R.in_WV Pretty sure most of our Australian Macks had Williams air throttles. My Kenworth’s got one as well.
I think the super liner is one of the best looking trucks ever made. Interesting video!
I agree 1000%
I have 2 Superliners a 1979 and a 1990. The 1979 is factory equipped with a KT series Cummins. The early models were Superliner I's and had a much greater option list of configurations than the later Superliner II's. Lots of history with these models. I really like your video series.
KT1150 in a superliner?
That's got to be a beast
In Australia Kenworth offered the KT 1150 in the 1970s
I worked for a logging company in the mid eighties. Started in a R model then moved up to a new 1985 Superliner. I loved the truck but it took a little while to get used to that 5 acre hood! Truck made me a lot of money. Had a 350 engine and a nine speed. Had one of the best sterios in it. Speakers were right behind your head. Had diamond tucked interior. Miss the old models........
Everything you mentioned I love.
My friend owns the coolest superliner Mack ever seen , it is a 1985 with 1987 sleeping cab there’s a huge historic urban legend that Mack made an mistake order and then built this one of kind SuperLiner Mack , truck is in Adelaide South Australia 🇦🇺 and is used a Tipper truck now onde retired from Road Train drives ...I will put a video of it in my instagram any Mack fan can check it out in my instagram leandromachado91 if you like so truck is really beautiful and still unrestored in its original white with metallic blue chassis , Mack truck is huge in Australia so is Kenworth K-100 cab overs as we still make ‘em Australia, I loved this video thank you, I am huge Mack Truck fan and I drive a Road Train Mack pulling Tippers , thank y’all from South Australia 🇦🇺
The first Mack Superliner that was produced (built specifically at the Hayward Ca. plant, to replace the RL/RS-700 "Western" series), because it could accept any size vendor engine, including it's own. 12,092 Superliners were built, between 1977-1992 (both series 1 & 2), in both Hayward & Allentown), including "The Millionth Mack", which was bought new in late 86, by Yarmouth Lumber, in Cumberland Me.
Yarmouth lumber's truck is still on the road and still working daily. I've seen it pulling a load in NC although its been a while.
The Mack Superliner is a good looker,especially in Aussie spec😎👍
There use to be so many Superliners running here in Central Virginia. Almost every logger and sawmill ran them with 350’s and 9 speeds. Still a few hauling today but not as common as they were. One trucker had a big fleet on them. I remember he had a 8V92 Detroit and a 3406B Cat powered Superliner. Classic good looking trucks.
Nothing looks better than a gloss black superliner with a 48" sleeper
GMC General
@@RJ1999x the generals don't look as good and they're a copycat of the superliners
Had a 500 hp mack superliner with a 13 spd great truck
My Big Brother Timmy had an Old Mack Superliner years ago before he passed away.... It was a Twin Screw with a Big Old V-8 Mack under that huge square hood.... It was a Heavy Built Truck... For some reason it had a Mack Transmission for a Main with a Spicer Auxiliary Behind it... And it was plumbed for a Dual Output Wetline System... It had two big Supply Lines and two Hydraulic Tanks... One on each side behind the Fuel Barrels... It was a neat Truck because it had a little 36 inch Sleeper just incase ya needed a lunch time snooze... To get in bed you had to go through what was once upon a time the back window... Haha!... And it was TIGHT!... Haha!...I believe he got it from an Equipment Dealer up North that used it under a Low Boy....
Anyhow, one afternoon I was in the Office at the Garage and I got a phone call from the PA State Police out of Troop H in Hbg Penna.... The Trooper said "Hang on" and then handed Ol' Timmy the phone... This was back before Cell Phones....
Anyhow, he says "Hey, Uh, come pick me up"... He said where he was and it wasn't good, come right away....
So I jump in the pickup and when I get to him he is standing outside with some Clothes, a Tool Box, and he is hanging onto his Conex CB Radio under his right arm, the Mic was hanging from its cord toward the ground...
So, I asked him what in the Hell happened and why the Cops called, and why I am picking him up at the Fire House!...
He said he had just left Camp Hill Transfer, Waste Management.... He was under a Walking Floor Trash Trailer and heading for Pine Grove Landfill.... He said he got up on the "Big Road" and the truck just wasnt running right, then he saw smoke under the Hood.... So he jumps out and lifts the Hood... WHOOSH!... It's nothing but a HUGE FIREBALL !.... All the grease and oil on that old engine was burning along with hoses and wires, it was cooking!.... He said he had used his Extinguisher and a 6 pack of Dr Pepper and couldn't get it out, so he closed the hood and started throwing stuff out of the cab onto the Highway....
The last things he got was his Conex Radio and RK-56 Mic off the Dash before it melted.... Apparently he just grabbed it and twisted to get it loose... It still had Tan Dashboard Plastic that the mounting bracket was screwed fast to!... Haha!
Anyhow we went to see the Truck and Trailer at the Wrecker Yard... The Tractor was nothing but a Frame and basically an Engine Block with axles under it... And that Aluminum Trailer that was full of Trash, for some reason wasn't hurt too awfully bad... I believe that Garbage inside of it, being soaking wet like it always was, saved its life....
That was my True Super Liner Story... I hope younz all enjoyed it.... I was just thinking... I have old 5x7 pics of it someplace... I'd hafta do some digging to find them...
God Bless!
My favorite truck . I absolutely love working on them
I never thought I would find a video about my favorite truck, thank you so much for making the video! I love the Mack Superliner, perfect video
Thanks for another great video. I've always had a sweet spot for the Superliner. And you've also made me want to watch Flatbed Annie and Sweetie Pie, one of the few old trucker flicks I have yet to see.
Thanks for listening guys! Love the video!
To Be Honest, Right to have a privilege to drive a Mack Truck was one of the Best Feeling I Ever Experience ever
for real
That's what I have been looking for a Mack super liner tks
Best riding mack I ever drove.!!!
All these videos are worth to watch.
Back in the early 00's up here in the pacNW, my friends family owned a log truck business and the the grandfather owned an 80's (wanna say it was an 83') Superliner with the detroit v8 that was turned up to 900 hp. That rig was badass and had silver paint with blue and pink pin striping if I remember, and those twin stacks with the tips turned out were always rolling coal. The truck was kinda a local legend among the logging community up there.
JR Collin's truck was sold a few years ago. It is now still running but with a new owner and name.
That was great a mack superfine lover
SUPERLINERS/SUPERDOGS. one of my favorite trucks
Love all these videos! You should do a 10 things you didn’t know about Smokey and the bandit.
Will we see one on the GMC General?
An icon , which should be in American Truck Simulator
I've been told the very last one built in PA was ordered new and still owned by a former rubbish company owner turned museum curator in Plainfield Connecticut. Its named" The Last in Line".Havent verified this info though.
The one-millionth Mack ever built was a Superliner. It's still owned by Yarmouth lumber in Maine and still on the road working every day.
I know this truck, it can be seen at the ATHS show in Brooklyn CT held around the end of June. The back of the sleeper is signed by the folks that built it along with "The end of the line" lettered on it. Awesome truck and a great truck show if you happen to catch it.
Nothing finer then a superliner
Hi guys! You are correct about the Sultan of Johor's Mack Superliner being worth $1 million.... Dean Bestwick, the Vice President of Mack Trucks Australia, has said that!
Here's a story on how the Sultan's truck came to be:

The king of the hill “fact” was a pretty big stretch there bud
Please do an Ultraliner video.
My old man bought one in 1984. Navy blue.
I see so many Mack dump trucks here in southeast Texas
Nice video guys
Love the super dogs.
Best video yous made
I was originally was about commenting on your Mack R Video about doing Video a Mack Super-Liner too. I guess dreams do come true 😍❤
Maybe if your available, can you do one for the Mack Cruise-Liner, Mack Super-Liner's Bigger Sister?
thank you in my short 17 year trucking career I got to drive a superliner once I mostly drove r- models and u-models the superliner was cool it was a day cab that belong to almond freight line Rockford Illinois I drove for touch cartage in Bensenville Illinois 1997 when the companies had some kind of merger I took ill in 2004 had to give up heavy duty commercial truck driving any way how about doing a cover video on Hendrickson trucks
They look so much like the GMC General! Both beautiful old trucks.
Drove a Superliner with a 500 magnum. Pulling SOB.
Yes, those were some good pulling engines. They had to stop making them because the eco weenies at the EPA forced them to cease production of it. Mack claimed it made 500 hp, but in reality, it was more like around 600.
The Super Liner was the last of the breed, these new macks just don't come anywhere near the old trucks, no guts and wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding
Here’s an actual fact to help the list out... some first generation super liners used a very unique front axle mounted steering gear. While interesting, they had a ton of problems with the units breaking and it was always a dangerous situation when they did. With the advent of the super liner 2, a regular frame mounted box was used instead.
I bought a new Superliner in 84 with that axle mounted steering box. If I remember right there was some kind of recall on them. I ran over the road with mine for 5 years then hauled logs out of the woods for another year before trading trucks and never had a problem it. It was a sad day when Mack quit making the Superliner.
If anyone didn’t know about the Mack Superliner. Dennis Yaworski owns the very last built truck out in Connecticut.
Love the intro music
They should rename the Pinnacle aka CH, to Superliner and offer it for sale again. The current crew running Mack are idiots.
Mack killed off Brockway in spite of record sales to get rid of competition, the ironic part is Volvo ended up gutting Mack and turning them in to badge engineered Volvo’s. Sort of like corporate karma in a way.
11. Robert Di Niro's character in the movie "The Deer Hunter" wore a Mack baseball cap like Dale Gribble in "King of the Hill".
Owned in the day best truck i ever owned stil wished i owned it what a ride and its still on the road today 33yrs later i made a big mistake when i sold it not to smart
i have all ways liked the way a mack truck drives and handles when you're load is heavy and a long way to get where your going
The best mack of all time !
Does it have integral steering?
New sub. Did that truck have a amber pump or Robert Bosch v mac?
So I havent been to yalls website yet, but what's the lowest Drop Visor yall sell?
We sell 14” standard visors and a few 16 and 18” custom visors
Is mack U.S. the same as mack australia the internet has them as two different companies
My heart still beats for the Mack R
My R700 with it's V8 Detroit & 13 speed Fuller Road Ranger is my Baby........
0:57 What Mack model is that?
Just to let u know The A team had a superliner in a Gambling episode also seen in a later intro
So in superliner the model name or is it something else, try google about old us ones but nuthing comes up just r series
This truck still eats petes
kidd Outlawe yes
Just bought one yesterday
Peterbilt are Overrated
back then is when they made real good trucks now they all have a lot of plastic
The one thing I do know is they should be powered by steam and the they would be the best vehicles in the whole wide world. A friend of mine deigned and built a steamer when the the whole world wanted a low emission engine. It was the lowest emission engine in the world and still is to my knowledge. I could be excused for believing that because the quasi monopoly vehicle builders of the day could not produce the same figures so govts. around the world kept changing the goal posts to suit them. I wrote to MACK suggesting they explore the situation without reply. Otherwise the steamer would have slayed the whole industry mainly because to start with they can burn high flashpoint fuel cleanly, low maintenance and low production cost. Engine designers in America are like trams going down the same old track.
So ya forgot to tell them why Mack got bull dog put on ww1 called Mack truck bulldog cause we're so tough and never got stuck ! That's when the bulldog got put on Mack trk
Mack should bring back the super liner in America

Where’s the video about the history of Detroit engines. Wanna know more about the 8V92
Fact one, nothing ever was more efficient at converting diesel to noise.
Daniel Aguirre If you wanna see an 8V92T in a Mack search this site '' ATCA Macungie truck show 2015 '' It's not something you see everyday. Cheers from Australia.
Sorry at the 1min 30 sec mark.
You forgot to mention the engine options
Big hood for the big E9 and 425 kitty
Seen lots of them with 425 cats also
@@ernestpassaro9663 been 10+ years ago that i saw that yellow paint under the hood
@@WARD5KUSTOMZ I know that but when superliners were still being built caterpillar was still selling engines to truck manufactures
The Sultan of Johor's Mack SuperLiner was indeed worth A$1 million..... a friend of mine did all the scrolls and lines on the truck
Can you make your video accessible by having closed captioning please? it is hard enough to watch with only the auto caption on.
The mack superliner v8 sounds like, it sounds like a european open pipe v8 when we are a bit far from it
If you didn’t know buckeye bulldog is not a thing no more it was sold in 2017 it is now still being built for another pulling truck
My daddy hauled logs with a magnum
A real truck
Kim Darby, God save us all.
Too bad the Superliner had the same microscopic cab as the R models. Spend hours a day in one of those hitting your leg on the air conditioner, and you'll be ready to move into something bigger.
“That’s all well and good but from what i hear bulldogs is pussy”- sheriff lyle wallace
Um 6 of those points are incorrect. Doh
Am i the only person from Australia
A ball cap is a ball cap in a cartoon but somewhere in the last 5-10 years they became a trucker cap????
Love the fake accent, by the way......
Aawww, cummooooonnnnn? Kids movie?????
In the movie "Cars" the voice of Mack is done by John Ratzenbuger who's father drove a Mack truck for a living. I can't remember the model of truck tho..... Being a PA native and resident it's on my bucket list to tour the Mack museum 😎
Roy,
My wife and I were on vacation the first 2 weeks of October and we went to the Mack museum and because the U.A.W. were on strike the museum was closed.
Almost a 1500 mile trip just to find it was closed. But maybe next year.
@@bertgrau9246 oh wow,that would have been a big disappointment
@@chriss5010
Sort of, we did go to the Hershey chocolate factory, and Gettysburg battlefield. Plus I have a brother that lives in Ohio and we visited with him as well.
In fact by the time my wife and I got back home we drove nearly 5,500 miles so we had a lot of road time.
Like I said, maybe next year .
Have a great New Year SIR
That 500 hp mack had a great sound and pulled like a bastard !
