Red Horse Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 yup the real Super Duty. didn't GM market the big block Trans Am as a ' Super Duty' back in the day?I think "Super Duty" was applied to certain Pontiacs long before the Trans AM. Wasn't it a bored or stroked 389 that came out as a 421 cube??

Green Dash Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 That's a neat little B-42. Looks like an early one in original condition.

Maddog13407 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 that green B42 is sweet. looks like an early one but it boggles me. has the old style radiator shell and bicycle mirrors but the newer style fuel tanks and brackets and Erie front hubs which Mack used around 59-62.

2stacksuperdog Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 KW has a aggressive dealer in CT and he sells to everybody even though you go there and a company with 5 trucks has 4 there for warranty work but there nice people. On the other hand the mack dealer dont try to sell trucks and dont respect their customers.

refusegetter Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Too many dealers wait for the buyers to come to them, secondly I think warranty work should be a dealers top priority. No way you should drop 6 figures on a truck and have to wait around for questions to be answered or approval from corporate. I'm still angry with the way things went for us. Sorry for being bitter Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/34/#findComment-184669 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way you should drop 6 figures on a truck and have to wait around for questions to be answered or approval from corporate. I'm still angry with the way things went for us. Sorry for being bitterOur '01 RD with an 8LL has jumped out of gear since brand new so we would bring it for warranty to fix it. Well they changed the pop it springs and balls 4 times and we told them that wasn't the problem the first time but apparently we dont know anything cause they are the dealer so eventually the warranty ran out and then they decide to take the tranny out and rebuild it. Still didn't fix it and they wanted us to pay for it. Still haven't payed for it 10yrs later and they never asked after the girl from NY office called to find out why we didn't pay and my dad told her if you bring your car to get fixed and they cant do it would you pay. We bring our business to Massachusetts or the other Mack parts distributor now.

2stacksuperdog Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 We were up the KW dealer a couple months ago and people were bringing new macks to get fixed there because they didn't want to go to our wonderful dealer.
