Jamied625 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 i run a rd688 triaxle with a 300 and 8ll which is a nice truck little slow on the hills but nice truck so i can only imagine that would be a great triaxle to run.

jakebrake86 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I run a 96 RD 688S tri axle everyday. Manual E7 350, 8LL, 44k camelback, 18k front, 15.5' Ox Body bed, with 550,000 miles, and 30,000 hours. I've had it going on three years, and it's been a good truck.

BKrois Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 95 is a mechanical. I believe they started switching to electronics 97/98 Quote BryanMy Photo Albums Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30205-looking-to-buy-1995-rd688s-with-a-e7-350hp-and-eaton-8/#findComment-168213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 95 is a mechanical. I believe they started switching to electronics 97/98There was the choice from 94-98 of either mechanical or electronic. We have a '01 350, 8LL with an electronic and it ain't that bad, just had problems with multiple turbos. The older electronics supposedly had problems with the wire that went into the injection pump? but mechanical would be the way to go 2 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30205-looking-to-buy-1995-rd688s-with-a-e7-350hp-and-eaton-8/#findComment-168220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamied625 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 that truck is worth the 30k he is asking in my opinion Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30205-looking-to-buy-1995-rd688s-with-a-e7-350hp-and-eaton-8/#findComment-168347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Its a mechanical E7 which is one of macks best engines and it looks in real good condition besides the body. Its worth what he asking Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30205-looking-to-buy-1995-rd688s-with-a-e7-350hp-and-eaton-8/#findComment-168348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKrois Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 A member on this site, HK Trucking used to work for the company selling the tri-axle years back. He might be able to offer some insight 1 Quote BryanMy Photo Albums Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30205-looking-to-buy-1995-rd688s-with-a-e7-350hp-and-eaton-8/#findComment-168398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
