HMR Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 What are the specs on the CH and the F12? Cheers, RobHi rob the Mack is 400hp with 18 sp Mack box and air on the rear. It's done 2.1 million km but only 100,000 on a new motor and it drives like a new one, The Volvo is a 1987 F12 with only 450,000 km and 400hp 12sp Volvo box and heavy duty rear end with cross locks. It is also a swap body with a 5th wheel, (takes around 30min to swap) Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30917-newbie-from-new-zealand/#findComment-180451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
