  2. this goes against what has been said...but I had little trouble with an EPA2010 MP7 (SCR) motor.....i also didnt put on alot of miles, as it was a roll off truck...and my buddy who's driving it now reports no issues since the last time it was in the shop about a year ago to fix the fault & derate.
  3. thats awesome......they are based out of Niagara Falls, and haul mostly produce from what i've seen...they have a drop yard off beaverdale rd. and hwy 24 in cambridge....mostly Internationals and freight shakers now....that is if it's the same Zavitz i'm thinking of......G.L. Zavitz i believe.....
  4. I don't have much to add here, other than the eaton 18speed is the best transmission I have ever run.....a gear for EVERYTHING.....though I have zero experience with the autos/amts. Are the mack and eaton 18's geared similar?

  8. Ha!! Here's my friggin' Friiday......Running out of hours for the week......pull into the farm to blow off, get set, but I'm on a bit of a side hill towards the barn with 9 tonne pinned in the nose, and most of the barn lots level out toward the entance, so i edge over. After punching through the snow drifts, i go to move ahead, and the drives burn and slide down the hill into the barn.....missed it by about 4" at the back of the box....front of the truck is a few feet from the edge.....F**K..... Go to the shop to get the farmer, "I'm stuck...." i said....."k, I'll get the tractor" he says....little Deere 5XXX 4wd.....tries, and nothing. His whole lot is ice, nothing for the tractor to bite....the he backs up and takes a run at it....F**K....drags the nose of the truck to 4" from the barn too....F**K!!!! 4 weeks in and i need a wrecker......F**K!!!!!!!!!! 5 F**KIN' MINS BEFORE THE WRECKER SHOWS UP HE COMES AND PLOWS THE DRIFTS!!!!!!
