Ok thanks.

Does anyone know if a 95 Ch 613 will support an eld , unfortunately a lot of brokers that use the "highway " system are now requiring elds. This truck just runs local but I have to conform or get out injectors guess. It is a vmac 2 with only one ecm under glove compartment, thanks.

It looks like oil is leaking around fuel lines going to injectors, #6 looks worst i almost can't tell if it's coming out injector line or head gasket leaking , thanks.

I am currently running both a 2014 Mp7 and a 95 E7 350 pulling flatbed. The mp7 is a 6x2 with 3:21 rears wide base singles small sleeper averaging 7.8mpg . The odometer has been changed and not accurate in 95 , I made the same run 370 mile round trip with both trucks and the 95 twin screw 4:17 rears small sleeper only burned 3.5 gallons more fuel. I personally like the simplicity of the 95 better.

Ok thank you

The final gear ratio in a 10speed overdrive and a 13 speed is the same , won't give you a higher gear , just more in between.

My 95 CH is starting to get some leaks , I noticed some of the lines are starting to seap , I asked dealer about lines and they acted clueless , said to go somewhere and have them made . I went to Napa and vermeer , and some other places that make hoses and they said they don't keep any kind of fittings like that. The truck is almost 30 years old so I'd like to just start replacing some of these before they fail on the road , can anyone tell me where to start to look , thanks.

Yes , mine went out and wouldn't start , (95 V Mac 2) I can't remember where I sent it to , I think some place in Texas , and came back working good.

Maybe Ecm or electrical related?

V Mac 3 .

Just bought another truck , 2014 small sleeper Mack with mp7 an M drive , still have my 95 small sleeper with E7 350 and 4:17 rears , it is getting 6.7 to 6.8 pulling a flatbed mainly in Ohio . I'm hoping this new truck gets better mpg but bobtailing home empty the gauge seemed to move more than I expected. Is it reasonable to expect to outperform the 95 on fuel economy, or not? If this thing burns more fuel it will probably be finding another home. The 95 has been a very economical truck to operate.

mine does same thing.

Ok thanks

Thank you for the reply, that's good information , I wonder how much better fuel economy the v Mac II vs the mechanical pump of the same engine then would be?

I would start off as low debt as reasonibly possible , try to get an emergency fund aside , even if you have to get a truck that's not as fuel efficient , doesn't matter , main thing is reliability starting out , once you get the ball rolling and are able to save up then upgrade.
