rsb502 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Ok so I needed a part for my E9 I knew it would be expensive, I just didn't know I was living in denial. I had some oil leaking from the drain tube on my turbo and when I swapped it found the tube was split in two places. I figured hell I'll order it and get it right you can't fix this foil tube its too thin. Imagine my surprise to see $343.24 show up in the cost area on the screen at Mack, WTF? Its an 8" long metal foil tube with a flange brazed to one end, holy shit! I got it cheaper but still not what I wanted, not near what I wanted. 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 https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35272-34324-really/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack mhe9 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Redoing the ac on the RW and I needed a grill denser so with the phone in one hand and KY in the other I called Mack. Maybe because I just spent 30k on the eng. 550 for a grill denser didn't seem so bad. Yet compareing a turbo oil return tube to a grill denser the pricing s way out of wack. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35272-34324-really/#findComment-240488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
