mackbulldog64 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 They might of put a pc chip in it to make it a 605hp? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31016-low-resale-values-on-mack-titans/page/2/#findComment-185451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 A what now? you mean put a laptop on it and reprogram the ECM with the 605 rating? That is doable but if done at the dealer it should change the tag on the engine too.

41180 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 it cant weigh 44k empty. our titan weighs 45k empty with a serco 7500 log crane mounted on the truck and 4 bolser log body made of t1 steel and a steel headboard and watsin chalin steerable lift axle and a home meade pup trailer with 4 steel bunks , my CL weighs 42k set up the same way so the titan is about 3k lbs heavier. most of the weight is the engine and dpf and def tank.

rsb502 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 It can weigh that depending on frame,axles,mounts etc. Its unlikely but possible.

41180 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 they are heavy but every new truck is heavy with all the emission crap on them. tod ay i weighed out empty at finch paper and there was a new western startruck and pup next to me on the other scale. he has 7 total axles and a 4 foot loog body set up to slash wood into 4 foot lengths so he has double the stakes that i have but he weighed out empty at 53k lbs with my CL i weighed out at 42.5k lbs. a new granite is as heavy or heavier than a CL. i think its stupid that the states or feds havent gave us truckers extra weight on our permits to offset the extra weight of the new trucks. in vermont the maximum weight limit is 99k lbs . we used to try and set up our trucks to be around 40 to 42k empty. thats why we had macks because you could get a heavy duty rugged truck and combine it with the E7 engine that would pull 100k lb load pretty good and still be lite weight. its not possible to do that anymore.

mackbulldog64 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Looks like the Pellatiers traded there Mack Titan in on a New Cat Truck. Milton Cat has it for sale at $89.900. Another low resale Mack Titan hit the lots for sale.

41180 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 all i have to say is we have had our first titan for almost a year and its been a great truck . performs great has been reliable and has great power and engine break. i wouldnt give 50k for pelletiers truck the way they destroy equipment. i remember seeing them put a hole in the oil pan of it on the first trip on there cancelled tv show. then i think they rolled it over so its probably pretty rough Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31016-low-resale-values-on-mack-titans/page/2/#findComment-188037 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both trucks were in wrecks as I understand it. Its almost as if those trucks were cursed for them.Should speak to the Titans toughness, not their downfall. Anyone that would buy one of those CAT trucks needs their head examined as far as I'm concerned. Hope they got it for free. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31016-low-resale-values-on-mack-titans/page/2/#findComment-188038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
