vision fan Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Seeing some mack visions on the road and the company i work for has visions pulling flat beds with lumberpipes and tractor parts the bigger loads would these trucks be running 460hp or did they order the bigger motors ithought 460hp was the biggest motor you could get.

BKrois Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 There is a 460XT or some variation of that motor with like 480 or so hp i believe?? My friend has that motor in his CL tri-axle dump. There was an E9 500hp mechanical mack motor years back.

mudslut28 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Mack motors always have had great lowend grunt..until some of the newer E7's that dont seem to pull hard till 1300-1500 and then like a house on fire to 2100. The 4 valve 300's pull their hardest at 1100-1500 and fall on its face after 1600...lol..or at least mine did.

I did not like the combination as the engine never seemed to be in it's torque band.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Pete Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 A few years back I was told that the 460XT or what ever they officially called it was not available in a Vision ,only in a CH.Pete Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2015-is-460hp-the-biggest-engine-mack-builds/#findComment-9929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmackattack Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I have heard that to get the XT program from a dealer you needed to have an all mack drivetrain. The visions I have seen all had off breed componets.I also heard the XT program is no longer avalible due to the EPA?
