    If I had one at work, you'd never get me out of that Superliner. Currently trying to get from a 2014 Peterbilt 367 into a 1997 KW T800, but they might not decide to fix it.
    At one job, we used to have an '83 Mack R, and drivers used to fight over who got to drive it for the day.

    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.

    Happy Easter Mike! Very cool video, I like the in-cab shots. Our old 12 spds had a separate stick for lo-lo. I usually only used it on the jobsite but I was never grossing 99,000. 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! (just an 8 spd tho) This thing is an ex-snow plow truck, weird combination. Rears are on air but the front springs are HUGE...so my knee is always hitting the heater box as the truck beats me up😂

      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.

    Our just restored 83 R model,it has the same powertrain. But the deal reduction is on a second stick, not a switch. Heimlich won't work the R model,but I'll bring it to shows. Especially the gear jammer show. And as far as the mack,,'s. Yes their Volvo own,before that it was Renault. Mack was always owned by someone else. Kenworth, Peterbilt are in the same family. And with the MX engine, a European design engine. International is particularly owned by Volkswagen. Freightliner, Western Star are part of Daimler. So I'm ok with a outside ownership.

      To the Boston trucker. Got a question. I have a 1980 r model mack with a 5 speed and low and high. Can u please tell what order or how do I go from low gear to high gear while driving. Is there a certain way to do this. So if I start out in low 2 and then go to low 3,but yet now the truck is moving pretty good, but how do I go in to high 3. Do I push in the clutch and the switch the divider,or click the divider while on the gas. I'm lost bro🤦‍♂️

    Mack’s definitely have dominated the Northeast when it comes to construction and or dirt hauling. Definitely built tough. I learned on a R model with a two stick 6 speed back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. I much rather drive a Pete now though. It’s just a style and comfort thing though. Also love a CAT when it comes to power. I haven’t driven a new Cummins or Paccar so I don’t really have an honest opinion on them yet. Never was a fan of Detroits either. I’ve never been an owner operator so I don’t have an honest opinion on cost of running to profit made on anything either. If I was an owner operator I might be partial to Detroit’s on account of their fuel mileage benefits.
