Popular Post Rondog Posted June 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2014 This is the truck I drive now. Does a pretty good job, but needs lower rear end gears to pull the heavy loads. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36095-2014-mack-granitemaxim-crane-works/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rondog Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Nice! 505HP? What rears and gears?Yes M8 505hp. 18 speed with a super low reverse, and 4:30 rears. The rears need to be much lower. I only run in CA, and don't need to go more than 55mph. The truck seems like it's capable of 85mph now. It's a waist of gearing/power for what I do. But that was my companies fault, not Mack's.

rsb502 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Sort little guy aint he? Seems like a 4.30 with the 318LR trans would be a nice set up but with 55mph speed limits I guess some 4.64 or 4.80's would work just fine too.
