Watching this video, reminds me of a truck that looked identical to this one, but had an E-7 400. Pulled like a team of oxen, & would haul a** when asked. Hauling black gold is a lot of fun!
If you've got something negative to say about his shifting, don't even bother commenting. No driver is perfect...even my uncle with 30 years of driving under his belt makes mistakes from time to time, especially when jumping out of his usual truck into an old junker Mack. A Mack truck should have a Mack transmission, not a Fuller.
Thought he did a bang up job, only one or two little grinds in there, normal for floating in a worn out 8 speed as far as I’m concerned. Those cabs are tight, especially the pass. Side with a stack, you’ve gotta be a skinny bastard to squeeze between it and the door.
My dad was driving a probably 10 year old freight liner and it was kind of clicking like that when he shifted. He said the synchronizer was going bad in it.
@@MichaelTJD60 lol i don't either but Mack my favorite truck all-time and this model mack my favorite of all the the designs,it just had that mean tough look.
Seeing this now does nothing but amaze me, My uncle hired Cavallaro to help build that church you guys are paving in your video. Growing up outside of Glassboro NJ, all those roads are nothing but familiar to me. Driving by and seeing his Mack’s and old equipment go to work always brought a smile to my face. The building now is fully complete and couldn’t be done without your guys hard work, miss seeing the old iron going to work though! Awesome video man!!
Thanks man! I believe you just friended me on Facebook a couple days ago. John has been a family friend of ours for years...it's nice to see someone who still makes money with old equipment! He's got a couple older R-models and Superliners running around too.
I finally recognize somewhere on youtube lol. I see you're running out of the South State plant. I've been there a bunch bringing in aggregate for the plant at night and same with the one down 49.
I know it’s late, but nothing wrong with grinding in an Eaton. That faster it breaks, the sooner you can put a Maxitorque in its place haha! These are some interesting trucks, we have one of these same year models with a dump bed for asphalt in our shop now. The parts lookup for it sucks though haha.
@@claytonbrown7100 It's pretty straightforward. The 8LL has a low-low range. You only split low gear when in low range. Then you have the usual 1-2-3-4 in low range and 5-6-7-8 in high range, none of which get split.
Awesome video Mike! That Mack still runs and works great.Like a Mack does lol. There's a bunch of those trucks around here that are still used.It's pretty awesome to see.
I’m working towards getting in to this industry. Don’t really know much about these trucks yet. What do you guys recommend I look in to for hauling asphalt, gravel?
What engine and hp is it ? E6 or E7 ,? How does the truck do with 23 tons? I'm asking because looking to buy same truck but its 6 axle with e6 300hp thinking it might to under powered?
I wouldn't expect to go anywhere fast with it, but it will pull 23 tons just fine. Long time in between gears though, especially if it has a Mack transmission. This one had a Fuller transmission so it could be shifted a little bit faster.
@@MichaelTJD60 ok thanks ,I bought the truck and does just fine with the 23 tons . This truck is heavy duty has 8 speed Mack ,mack rears ,mack Beam suspension ,ratio was high but was regeared will do 75-80mph on the high way with 23 tons pay load thanks for feedback
Doesn't matter. Drivers may grind gears for a little. Nice Mack Truck. Remember if can't find it grind it. Does it have a hitch even it has a trailer brake valve?
I drive two RD’s with the same engine/trans and a Kenworth with a cat and 18 speed. Grinding that 8LL says nothing about you uncle, from what I’ve found that’s just how they operate. We all prefer the 18 speed
Yeah the 18-speed is definitely a better choice for this kind of work. The 8LL typically isn't bad but I just don't think they were designed for the power band of a Mack engine. My uncle had an 8LL behind a Cat 3406E in one of his previous dump trucks and it seemed to be a great combo.
Dave's Garage how’s your rig set up to have 16 wheels? I’m not being an asshole I’m genuinely interested. The only ways I can figure is a dual steer axle setup in front with a lift axle with duals and tandem rears or a quad axle where one cheater has singles and one has duals.
@@J.R.in_WV nope. Only some of my trucks have double steering and they have 3 liftable steerable axles. The wheel bases for the 16's are 265+ inches. They work lol. P.s it's actually a 2001.
Dave's Garage wow, do you run all 3 cheaters on one drop switch and pressure dial or have one for each axle? That’s an impressive setup! Believe it or not where I’m at there are cases where you can haul more on a triaxle than you can on a quad or 5 axle. In northern WV they won’t let you go over 88,000 with 5 axles, and you can haul 78,000 on a triaxle, so we don’t have many quads and 5 axles, the extra weight from a 19+ foot bed and all that extra wheelbase and cheaters ends up being adding almost the extra 5 ton it gets you.
Hi, do you still have these trucks? How do they handle with all weight and this engine? Is it under powered ? How much weight do you haul 21 tons ? Also did you built these truck by adding 3 drop axles?
Cummins engines in a truck never rolls coal because Cummins engines are eco friendly engines they aren’t meant to be powerful or reliable or strong they cost a small fortune to work on they are expensive to work on and they are an absolute pain in the butt to work on my dad worked on them he absolutely hated Cummins engines now the best engines ever built for those trucks is when Mack used to make their own engines for their trucks mack engines were built like a tank and you just couldn’t kill them and Mack engines rolled coal perfectly and had a wonderful sound it’s too bad Mack doesn’t make their own engines anymore they made the best engines of course Mack makes the best trucks still nothing beats the durability of a Mack truck even with a crap engine they still are great trucks
Fuxking terrible I own the same truck the ac is two little vents on the bottom just has a strong motor you have to go to mack volvo center to find parts and its pricey
According to my uncle, it's like driving a jail cell. He ran an R-model years ago and hated it. Personally I'm a fan of the R-models and don't mind the tight cab, but that's probably because I am on the short side and haven't had to drive one daily. Typical R-model, the heater box is up against your right knee.
They’re pretty tight but tolerable. Leg room isn’t the greatest and the heater box hits your knee all day. Doors can rattle a bit but the dash seems to hold up and doesn’t rattle like a freightliner
Dam you’re either a driver that can drive a Mack or you’re just a steering wheel holder.😄 I think the new trucks are making their gears out of water so you can pour them in instead of all that grinding, that poor transmission
I'm convinced this one had water in it for oil...my uncle who has driven millions of miles over the last 30 years said it just didn't feel right like the oil in it was wrong. I was never a fan of the Fuller transmission behind a Mack engine anyway.
@@MichaelTJD60 Like I said you can either drive a Mack or you can’t it doesn’t matter if you’ve got 10 million miles. Second truck I ever drove was a 350 Mack with a 8LL and you had to run it up to 18-1900 rpm and she’d shift like a dream

Just keep practicing.. you did fine.
@Robert B How they got away with using that same cab design for 40+ years is beyond me. The U/DM cabs were even worse.
@@MichaelTJD60 lol i don't either but Mack my favorite truck all-time and this model mack my favorite of all the the designs,it just had that mean tough look.
I love the stickers on the inside of the back window- they’re very comical. Good video as well
Thanks. I thought the stickers were pretty funny too...evidently this truck was in a fleet many years ago.

That truck would be perfect for hauling my deeres around.
I like the 8ll over the 18. Especially in and around Boston. Great trucks.
Is an 8LL similar to a 15sp deep redux? I've only driven highway tractors and never experienced an 8LL.
@@claytonbrown7100 It's pretty straightforward. The 8LL has a low-low range. You only split low gear when in low range. Then you have the usual 1-2-3-4 in low range and 5-6-7-8 in high range, none of which get split.

Awesome video Mike! That Mack still runs and works great.Like a Mack does lol. There's a bunch of those trucks around here that are still used.It's pretty awesome to see.
Thanks! Yeah these late-model RD's are pretty popular in the northeast for construction work. A lot of them are still running around making money.
I’m working towards getting in to this industry. Don’t really know much about these trucks yet. What do you guys recommend I look in to for hauling asphalt, gravel?
i run down so many trucks in my 99 RD dump truck, i think a lot of the older guys love seeing my Dog run em down on 95 😂 😂
Rides like a Mack, rough 😂

How much money you think I can buy a truck like yours? But I live in Haiti
Doesn't matter. Drivers may grind gears for a little. Nice Mack Truck. Remember if can't find it grind it. Does it have a hitch even it has a trailer brake valve?
Yes it does. This truck gets used to haul equipment around to different job sites.
