mack mhe9 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 How does he like the drive train. Looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 New non armored HET tractor yeah around 43,500, all wheel drive, rear wheel steer 700hp CAT Allison automatic they are probably purty nice but I like the old 8V92 500hp HETs just fine. I just don't like the idea of an Acert Cat having to get me out of a kill zone, hell they'll barely get you out of a TA without breaking down. 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 How does he like the drive train. Looks good.Shiner went from a '97 E7-427 that he bought new and put 1.7 million on without ever having the heads or pan off,to this one,MP-8 445 hp. He doesn't like it nearly as much.He's about as old school as they come,first truck was a H63,and he's having a hard time swallowing the new technology.It really would not surprise me if he doesn't sell it and put his old truck back on the road before the year is up.
