I've Probably Watched this video 30 times... It Never gets old!!! Between the Thumping, The Turbo Whistle and the Black Smoke. I could watch it over and over again!!! :D
Classic Mack, even today they are a viable option for heavy haulage, back when you bought a Mack which was all Mack ,12 speed coupled to legendary v8 and running on camelback suspension, does not get any better.
Wedge 850t3 except for when you’ve gotta hold it all back on the other side!! Lol may as well rub your Redboks on the steer tyres for all the Dynatard is worth!! Bit still cool AF!!
@@AUSSIEGIZMO76no doubt there….the guys who say an E9 or especially a 1693 or 3408 CAT are the best engine for pulling heavy in the mountains either have never driven a truck that wasn’t on a computer game or they haven’t driven anything but those engines and a 3406 or a Mack 6 cyl and are so blindly brand loyal they can’t admit their faults. Those big CAT’s have never even had a jake available for them and the Macks with the Dynatard might as well not have one unless you’re empty and even the ones with actual Jacobs engine brakes are still nearly useless anywhere but flat ground and in town. Taking 88,000 lbs up a 5+ mile 8% grade that’s just as long and steep on the downside I’d rather have to drag up the hill at 25 MPH with the 4-ways on with a 400 Big Cam Cummins with the overhead and jakes set dead on or a 445 8V92 with freshly run racks and jakes than a Mack or V8 Cat set to 750HP that’ll pull clear to the top at damn near the speed limit because coming off the other side I know that Cummins or Detroit will come down the other end 1 gear lower and my brakes will still be plenty cool to stop at the bottom if I have to.
They’re their own breed for sure, I’d definitely take Camelback over air ride or a junk 4-leaf setup any day but I still prefer the old school Hendrickson RT walking beam suspension to anything else if I have the choice. I’ve driven both and the Camelback does seem to articulate a little further but I’ve seen at least 5 triaxle dumps on Camelback end up on their side from a broken Tree or snapped Trunnion bar when they start getting a little worn out / sloppy…With the Hendrickson there’s much less chance for that to happen even when they’re getting fairly sloppy and need rebushed. I’ve seen the old bolt and adapter style beam end adapters break, main leaves broken, even a few with a split eye, and a ton of busted center tubes (those doesn’t even stop you from finishing out the day LOL) and the only one that didn’t stand up and make it to the shoulder with the rubber still on the road was an old freight liner that actually snapped a walking beam in two and laid it over, and he’d seen cracks in that beam and kept running it grossing over 100k with 38 ton loads of bottom ash.
Brings back awesome memories as a kid in the passengers seat jiggling around wishing I had a seat like dads - the whine in 12th gear use to do my head though lol
This video has been in my favorites for a few years. Great sound of engine thumping over the turbo when shifting. Quality right up there with Scania V-8 sound and Cat 3408 V-8 sound videos. Thanks for the great entertainment. Hope to see a video of you doing a pull in a hill and show us your shifting prowess of "losing" gears. Every video has shifting up - rare to see a video of having to shift down on a hill with a load. Nothing like running at a hill at 60mph(100kmh) and then downshift a bunch to achieve a good 25mph (40km/h) in a hill. My former boss had a Mack like yours, in 600hp range hauling treelength trees 146,000lbs and he snapped 2 driveshafts over the years pulling on a local famous hill "Sistonen's Hill" in Thunder Bay. Pretty much eat everybody's lunch in that hill when it come to pulling a load over it. Love the vid Cheers Joe from Canada
Sounds brilliant mate. Worst thing Mack ever did was drop the V8. There's a guy in the north-west with a 610 V8 Titan on triples that never misses a beat.
Still vivid in my mind, seeing a Super Liner towing a hydraulic platform and a Volvo F16 up a steep incline during my apprenticeship. Mack = Pure Power.
Looking out your windshield with the tinting on the bottom two thirds is very interesting. In the states some drivers like to put large visors on there trucks which to someone like me who is 6'6" just doesn't work because I can't see out of them unless I slouch down and hold my head sideways driving down the road. I love the sound of Mack V8's and have owned several Dump Trucks with 12 speeds and 1 old R-Model with a 20 speed that unless I was insanely loaded I drove it kind of like a 12 skipping gears
@stereorail its to stop the glare reflecting off the bonnet (hood if ur in the states). used to see it a lot in Australia but not so common these days.
That is the SHIT!!! you guys sure know what real gear is and how to present it. oh and leave the wipers they add that special retro character of older muscle trucks love the dash
You are right. I know why it is done that way, it's just funny how things are done differently across this great world to accomplish the same thing. Cut down on glare. Alot of trucks over here paint their hoods flat black to accomplish this.
You boys down under sure do have some nice trucks. I would love to get down there some day and see a road train in person. I would really like to put a few miles on one but I don't think my brain will let me shift with my left hand.
@kennethrobinson11231 I never had the chance to work on one of these engines, but what I heard is that they would shake themselves to pieces eventually. Shame really, they do sound great. 1000 cubic inches of diesel Mack V8, what's not to love?
@chevy82250 Also, Mack switched to 16L around 1979 with their ENDT1000. It used a front mounted after cooler but there was an experimental version that used a Tip Turbine cooler and possibly an air-water cooler. Mack was also ready to ditch the V8 in the late 70's because of proposed emissions laws. They developed a prototype that used the heads off of a 14 liter ENDT865/866 V8 and put them on a large displacement strait 6 block that was dubbed the Mack "Big Six" engine. That law never passed.
I don't know what most of the fuss is about but my dad run a e9 back in the 80's and 90's from nc to California getting 7mpg and got over 1.5 million miles out of it and only problems I knew of with the V8's were in the heads (dropping valves and such) but that was it. Fuel mileage depended on your right foot and the last V8 I seen was in a early 2000's model CL700 elite (long hood CH)
That amazes me how much the landscape looks like the southwest United States....If you told me you were outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico I would believe you.
Yup.... but the Swedish V8 from that era sounded also waaaaayyyyy better than nowadays 😂😂 you search for Scania 140 141 142 and 143 on YT and you'll know😉
Pretty sure the lower screen tint is to limit glare bounce off the black bonnet, only pedestrians out there are animals and usually don't wear dark clothing. Speedo shows somewhere in the vicinity of 70-80kph which is well fast enough hauling 300 tonne...jesus that V8 surely gets that weight up and moving damn quick. To drive the mobile crane to its destination would be slower and more expensive (fuel, shift drivers, weight permits/taxes) hence trailer it via HHA.
No it has tinted windows but I have seen 600 cat pull the same if not alot simailer and was at 20000 just keeping the truck on a v8 such as so could probably pull 3 or 4 of those to do that
the mobile crane would weigh around.90 tonne, with added weights it would weigh nearly 300. weights are usually carried on separate roadtrains and the crane is set up on site. as they say dont let the truth get in the way of a good yarn,that said the old girls sounds great and is doing a great job, with load and platform id guess it would weigh around 150 tonne, still a substantial weight.
I just think Mac gave up on big power units in the USA-- biggest engine you could get is an mp8 with barely 500 horsepower and most of them come in with 445 horsepower and the mp10 has been discontinued so give mack gaveup on the heavy duty market---but still builds them in Australia as we know
@spencnaz The bottom end of the V-8 Mack would not hold up here in the states. I don't know why, but the rods wouldn't hold up. Now with all the GOV. reg. like noise reg. exhaust reg. fuel reg. that engine would not stand a chance here . This is why they not here anymore. They do run good, and I love the sound. There was some around in the 70's But I haven't seen one in 25 years.
Fuck me........fuckin awesome......love any v8 Mack....could never get sick of that sound boppin in my ears.........where few survive....Mack bulldogs thrive..
@chevy82250 There is no proof of that. I too believed this but Mack introduced their END864 V8 in 1962, Scania introduced their V8 in 1969. The two engines are completely different, Scania has individual cylinder heads and mack has twin cylinder heads (4 total). Much earlier (late 40's/early 50's), Scania worked with Mack on developing the Mack 673 engine which used the Scania direct injection system. The Previous Mack diesel, the 672 used the Lanova indirect injection method.
how long do these rigs last before requiring major overhauling. as they are pulling some massive weight with alot of load on engines ands stuff still love it though would love to drive for hha would be mad.
Why is glass tinted on the bottom instead of top? I thought is Australia the weather is dry, so there's more sky glare than road glare. And how about pedestrians in dark clothing?
@kennethrobinson11231 Volvo killed the Mack engine line after they bought them out (Via purchasing Renault). Mack stopped the V8 production in 1998 BUT it is known that Mack was revamping the design to make a come back in the states with even bigger HP but Volvo canned the Mack engine line in favor of their own. Damn shame really.

Is he still running?
Wasn’t macks fault entirely. Most of the credit goes to Volvo for killing it, cuz Volvo bought & owned Mack since the 2000s.
Still vivid in my mind, seeing a Super Liner towing a hydraulic platform and a Volvo F16 up a steep incline during my apprenticeship. Mack = Pure Power.
Warning, you are driving on the wrong side! 😂😂😂
Nice Truck !!👍💪😎
V-8 Macks sound very cool, a music all their own. Thanks for posting...
Such a bold, robust sound from that v8. Niice
I remember the air wipers on my R model mack , what a pain in the ass they can be but it sure did have a great motor

Just bloody marvellous, sweet sweet music!
Love the white face gauges!....Nothing like the sound of a big block Mack!!
@roadwolf2 This truck has a triple-countershaft Mack 12 speed transmission - everything is on a single stick!
Jeez, Rollin' Coal with the best of them! Great clip!
Nice super liner and nice engine sound!
@stereorail its to stop the glare reflecting off the bonnet (hood if ur in the states). used to see it a lot in Australia but not so common these days.
E-9 V8s and superliners are the best combos that for sure
man thats a sharp looking superliner love the interior man keep the vids comin
awesome!!!!!! listen to her roar like a lion 🦁 🦁
@tfraud My thoughts EXACTLY. I love the sound of a Straight Piped V8 Diesel!
thank you for this video
That is the SHIT!!! you guys sure know what real gear is and how to present it.
oh and leave the wipers they add that special retro character of older muscle trucks
love the dash
great sounding truck and good lookin interior. wished we could tint the windows that dark here in the U.S.
This is all the rage France now. Brand new Renault V8s with straight pipes haha. I hear them all the time when I'm there
What a great Sound!!! 👍👍👍
nice truck man! that super liner inside look great :)
She sounds amazing!! Keep the hammer down.
Old school Mack is best school 😁
Nice rig. I like the pinstripe on the dashboard. You should give a video tour of your Mack.
Glorious
Now that truck sounds awsome you need to do more videos like that.
How can you not like that sound.. mean.💯
That interior is beautiful.
god I love that tint, such a nice rig

You are right. I know why it is done that way, it's just funny how things are done differently across this great world to accomplish the same thing. Cut down on glare. Alot of trucks over here paint their hoods flat black to accomplish this.
What a fine vehicle!!!!
This is my new ringtone.
0-70 km/h in over 2 minutes damn that's mad impressive for pulling 300 tonnes
The old v8 Macks were built to haul anything up to 400 tonnes.
You boys down under sure do have some nice trucks. I would love to get down there some day and see a road train in person. I would really like to put a few miles on one but I don't think my brain will let me shift with my left hand.
Not a huge fan of Mack trucks, but the older ones had so much more style.
Love the white gauges and the custom panel.

beautiful truck! V8's never really caught on up here in North America for big rigs. they could pass anything but a fueling station though.
Great truck. Classic engine throb!
Thats awesome mate. Personally i reckon those mechanical E9s sound a mile better than the scania V8 these days. Might be just me....
Yup.... but the Swedish V8 from that era sounded also waaaaayyyyy better than nowadays 😂😂 you search for Scania 140 141 142 and 143 on YT and you'll know😉
Sounds Incredible!.. love it :)
@MrMulde2 You are correct, there is little torque at lower rpms when under the weight this guy pulls.

Hope you have kept her still like it was then 👍
nice lookin truck wish I could run that one
i would love to no what the exhaust temps on these things would be like. pulling so darn hard all day. how long would they last i wonder.
i pull a 13 axle allways weigh around 180000 to 250000 and never get a egt of 900 or higher

Agree, there is absolutely nothing like an Aussies bush, for a good didgeridoing.

Beautiful rig and unforgettable note.
What box are you using 12 speed quadraplex maybe ?
With the bonnet on the SuperLiners, that tinted band has to be down on the bottom..... way too much glare from the sun bouncing off it!
Fuck me........fuckin awesome......love any v8 Mack....could never get sick of that sound boppin in my ears.........where few survive....Mack bulldogs thrive..
Love it ! keep them coming !
Nice Truck. Can you do a vid with sounds from outside like this?
Nice truck, but the steering wheel is on the wrong side!
You should teach a course at the local community college... I'm sure it would be full in no time.
sounds awesome
Yeah but do you know how old the E9 engines are, if you did I think you'd be more impressed.
They are from the 60s 14L V8 and were improved
Excellent video!!!

still love it though would love to drive for hha would be mad.
Love or hate American iron ,, The bitch can pull ...A few hundred rpm higher between shifts for the bent 8 over the 6/s but the sound is gold ...
this model of mack was made in australia
But american designed
alec glass Designed and Manufactured in Australia for the Australian market, says Mack on their website: www.macktrucks.com.au/
+Alec Glass It is an Australian designed model because they know what they needed but it is an American company.
Wooohoooo amazing.
@TurbinePower69 HHA is based out of Larapinta, Queensland, Australia!
this is a nice v8 sound
Do you mean the crane weighs 300 or can lift 300? Gotta be heavy either way. Sweet rig 👍
