Dirtymilkman Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I believe I know the previous owner of this truck. He runs an all Mack fleet and has great maintenance. His name is Don Janson 320 252 2019 is his number Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40034-thinking-on-buying/#findComment-290083 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Welcome and best of luck. There has been some discussion on the early "MP" engines, some have had problems with the DPF system and others have not. My employer had issues with it's '08 MP7's, but I don't know if the MP8's had similar problems. Hopefully someone will chime in with details or you can start another topic in the Engine and Transmission forum.

billengland1967 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 A friend of mine runs a 09 cx with the MP8 at 485 and the only issue he has had is injector cups. Along with standard maintenance.
