scottwetzel Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Looking to buy a new truck and ran across this one. Only thing that makes me nervous is that it's in Miami. What do you guys and gals think?http://www.commercialtrucktrader.com/listing/1996-MACK-CHN613-110068733 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33245-what-do-you-guys-think-about-this-ch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel67 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Don't buy any thing in Miami. Just my advise. I have seen to many good people getting screwed.

scottwetzel Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks mowerman. That's what I was thinking to but Miami has a lot of scummy truck dealers. I may have to take a look.

David Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 It would already be on a boat if it didn't have a computer on the engine. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33245-what-do-you-guys-think-about-this-ch/#findComment-213139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision386 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 There's a reason its only 15K,good used heavy spec'd Mack would go for twice that amount,my opinion,prolly used up,wore out,and as previously stated,exporters don't want it it because its an electronic engine,my advise would be to pass on it..................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

scottwetzel Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 thanks david and vision386. Im 3 hours away from the truck so I think ill pass on it. If it was closer I wouldn't mind taking a look but it is a long ways away.

glenlunberg Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 The truck looks good. You just need to be careful when you're going to buy that thing.

rsb502 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Well the ad is wrong its not a CHN, the CHN is a set forward axle, I am pretty sure if it were easily exportable it would have been by now. It looks like a standard CH daycab that someone stretched and added a tag axle to, I don't think its a heavy spec truck with a 9spd and 40k rears on air ride with a single frame I wouldn't call single frame 400hp and a 9 spd on 40k rears heavy, more like light actually. I would guess its had some heavy stuff on it with the look of it and its probably hurt if you looked hard enough, I would guess the frame was cut and scabbed back together behind the cab and while stretching a double frame truck can be done in my eyes, stretching a single frame truck then doing heavy work is asking for trouble.

scottwetzel Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 84superdog, the guy claims its never been stretched. He's sent pictures of the entire frame but like I said before Miami has always been not a good place for truck buying. I'd really like to find a clean superliner in Florida but they r getting so hard to find.
