Lil' Mikee Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 OK first off I have been thinking of buying a glider kit so I can get rid of the emissions. I came across this site and joined. Here's the questions (thanks to all of the v8 stories) Would a 2015 Titan have a wide enough frame to be able to use a 425 V8? The second question is did Mack make an "E" model V8 as I would like to use electronic cruise control?. Of course this truck wouldn't replace all the memories of the 1978 Superliner I drove in the oil field. It had the 325 V8 with the 12 speed..put those paccar bullhaulers to shame. They couldn't keep up.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Mack does not make a glider kit anymore and there was not a electronic e9 in thevU.S. The v8 you speak of sounds like the older 865 or 866 v8. Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Wasn't there an electronic version of the E9 built for Australia,610 hp ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackdaddy Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 There was an electronic version in Australia at the end of the V8 run, in fact the 90 V8 Valueliner I have from Australia also came with a cruise control.........just pull out the throttle !!!

Lil' Mikee Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Well that's very disappointing. I guess I am going to have to look for an older Super Dog to invest in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Mikee Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Mackdaddy did you have any difficulties importing your Valueliner from Aussie land? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41180 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 If cash isn't an issue you could find a used titan like an 09/10 pre urea and pull the mp 10 out and swap in a e9 . would take some fabrication and wiring engineering but would be cool as hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 The biggest issue with an older engine in the newer Macks is the dash, you can always make an engine fit and bolt up if you try but the dash is electronic in all of the newer trucks and runs off the body control module and ecm. If you don't mind building a new dash cluster to use analog guages its not an issue but the dash in a titan is all electronic gauges driven by a computer that wouldn't be there with a repower and it may be a bitch to make a new one. Oh and then you'd be an outlaw to the EPA, which isn't an issue to most people, damn gummint! 2 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...

Fishhook Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Why not do the emissions delete/ecm reprogram on the emissions motor? Your way seems to be way more expensive & a lot more hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refined Trucker Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I agree with fishhook Company I'm leased to did 10 09 thru 2011 Cummins took off egr and hotdog cookers. New manifold turbos and programs. Trucks run great all 650hp plus now and getting way better econ. And no downtime just running making $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
