    Vlad I dont know in Australia I have always known them as NR Macks along with the ones running single tyres and the ones that are single drive it's a bit like an R model we dont call them by model names or numbers they are Flinstones, R models, Value Liners and Super Liners and the motors are 711's Thermodyne's, Cool Power Econodyn's and E9's at least thats the way I have always heard them spoken about So getting back to the NR I have no idea what model it really is it's just a NR to me and most people out here as well I would think so I am always keen to learn how to tell the difference so feel free to educate me Paul

    So am I right in the axle housing is bent ? If so can you just pull the housing out and put it in a press and push it back straight ??? or is that a big no no ?? Paul

    Yes I noticed the lack of information coming but I always give people the benefit of the doubt I would think here would be the ideal spot to provide some real answers from some real world situations so people can make informed decisions about these points after all heres a bloke wanting to buy some new trucks never no we still may here back from him as he maybe getting the figures together Paul

    Could you give some figures that these people are getting with their Macks eg fuel economy ect ???? The reason I ask is that the figures we see getting around seem to vary a lot and it would be good for all to see some real figures so we can compare what differences there really are Do people really get 8 and 9 MPG or is 6 MPG the norm Years ago Macks were always advertised it's not the initial cost of a Mack to look at it's the whole of life cost I wonder is it still the same ?? Paul

    This was on the news the other night I laugh as the bloke in the car tries to blame the truck driver I wonder what would have happened if the truck driver didnt dash cam Paul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNva-YsX2AE
  21. mrsmackpaul
    6.2 MPG at a bit over 36 ton a lot of older trucks will do those figures ok I must missing something in all this because the figures on new trucks arent much better if any better than older trucks but maybe Im reading all this wrong Im still no help with your purchase decision but at least I have given you all something to laugh at lol good luck with it all I feel there is no wrong or right answer Paul
  22. mrsmackpaul
    I have heard of them but have never dealt with them Paul
  23. mrsmackpaul
