Double L Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I've heard how much garbage the 03-06 Mack's are due to the ASET, I'm wondering if the MP engines are faring any better in the reliability and durability department?

ThaddeusW Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Aren't they running the MP8 in the 07 model trucks?The MP's were first offered in 2006 for the granite I believe. Non DPF if I am not mistaken. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

Double L Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 DPF wasn't required until the 08 models so most of the 07's are non dpf unless they were made in the 2nd half of the quarter than I think those went with DPF.

But once the pre '07 engines ran out then you had no choice but to buy a DPF engine. Its like how you can buy a glider kit and put pre emissions engines in them.

Buy the glider kits and put in pre emission Cat and Cummins and sell them as 08-09 389's for the price of a new truck. Seems like you can only get glider kits in Pete and Freightliner anymore.

You can order them with every component installed as long as one piece is missing whether it be the motor, trans or diffs. If you order with the engine they come with a pre emmisions reman with warranty (Cat for sure I know). My friend just got one, a tri-axle dump with a 36"sleeper, 19.5 foot box and a mechanical 400 Cat that he did himself. You can only order the gliders set up for electronic, so he had to switch all the gauges in the dash to mechanicals. He's doing a Kenworth next.

Double L Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 I didn't know you could get Star Cars in glider's. I only seen Freightliner and Peterbilt advertised on truck paper for glider kits.
