Popular Post mack mhe9 Posted November 17, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2013 Bought this to run. They had a couple Mack's but they were pretty raged out. Had this 2001 12.7 430/470 10 spd, complete history from day one. And it was setup to pull a flatbed. Payed 9 for it.I can tell you this much already it's a lot quieter, and rides smoother, but we will see. 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33536-went-to-the-dark-side/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

smorse54 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Ray,nice looking truck.You know I'm a huge 60 series fan.I can't think of a better,more reliable engine out there.I can't argue with the huge numbers of Volvos out there.Everyone who drives one raves about the great ride,visibility,and so on. I wish you the very best with it and feel you made a good decision.

thomastractorsvc Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Wow a Volvo and a Detroit Diesel, I am glad the comments were not as bad as I thought they were going to be when I first started reading this thread.Congrats on the new truck, just put a dog on the hood and pull the Volvo off the hood no one will know the difference.

DCR Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Was talking to a Mack fan at the truck stop the other day while I was fueling my Mack. He was driving a two year old Pete, company truck, and I asked him how he liked it. "Its a piece of crap, wish I had my oldVolvo back. It was a much better truck."Just repeating what he said. Those are his words not mine.

slpwlker Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 This makes baby Jesus cry.Lmao that is to funnyHere are my comments. I've looked at alot of different things and bought what I needed when I needed it. Looks good I hope it will last you a long time. Was actually looking at a volvo a few months ago but to short to put a lift axle on. Wanted something lighter to get the lightweight down with a smaller trailer. Congrats and good luck. Drove a daycab long time ago and that thing was quiet. Rough riding little bastard but quiet Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33536-went-to-the-dark-side/#findComment-217294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack mhe9 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 I wanted a pre-emission eng, no freightliner or internationals, I don't realy care for CH's, so I'm kinda in a pickle with a truck selection. This was cheap and will work till I can swap that Detroit in to the MH. What do ya think?

Green Dash Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It does look like an ex-Klapec.The 60 Series Detroits have a tried and true reputation and I can tell you from personal experience that you'd be hard pressed to find a quieter, smoother riding, better handling, more comfortable aero truck than a Volvo VN. Best of Luck and I hope you make lots of money with it.
