Underdog Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I was just having that conversation down at the Mack dealer the other day...about people who spec vendor transmissions and rears in their "Mack" truck. If I wanted an Eaton transmission or Meritor rears, I'd buy a Cornbinder. I bought my Mack to get a Mack truck...and the only way to TRULY do that is to have a Mack engine, Mack transmission, and Mack rears. If'n it ain't got that gold bulldog on the hood, I'm not interested. ...and as for the exhaust, I like my stacks short and the baffles knocked out of the mufflers. The first few years of the CX were not even available with Mack driveline. My first choice would have been all Mack as well, but I bought mine off the lot and got a hell of a deal as the dealer really wanted to move the truck. Eaton super 10 and spicer axles 1.2 million miles and counting...original U-joints as well. Also 600 lbs. lighter than Mack components. I would say my specs have proved worthy and paid for themselves with extra payload over the last 10 years.Gregg Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14453-bought-my-1st-truck/page/3/#findComment-76928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
