rsb502 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yep accuride wheels on the ups stuff, its a10lug, 10 hole steel wheel I had a couple that came silver powder coat and from 100' they looked like unpolished aluminum wheels. I think if the 6x2 will work for anybody it will be UPS they have the right runs and the light gross weight to make the most of it. I heard about the corn binders getting sent back, so far everyone I have talked to with a Maxxforce 13 or 15 has had it in the shop so much they want it gone or have already gotten rid of it. I never thought massive EGR would work on a big diesel and it seems they proved me right (for once) they had so many issues they dropped production on the heavy maxxforce engines.

Lmackattack Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I worked for UPS back in the late 90sthe maintaince shop at the time did most of the truck repairs. I recall seeing crate engines and rear ends just waiting to be installed. even with their package cars they did most of the repair work. As the equipment got old they moved them to emergency or yard equipment. after that they would come in strip the stickers off the trucks red tag them and park em out side in a corner. about once a year they would round up the junk and send them off to the scrap yards. Only seen a few make their way back to the streets with miss matched parts to get them back on the road. they did the same with package cars.

rsb502 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Saw one of the new k dubs on the side of i24 today with the flashers on and the hood up, not a good sign I don't think I've ever seen a UPS mack on the side of the road.
