TripleC Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm looking for some input on a truck I'm going to look at. It's a 2004 Mack CX612, it just says Mack 12.0L 480hp., Mack 9-speed tranny. It has 490K miles. Good and bad. Anything in particular I need to look for? It's a single axle truck and I'm gonna be using it to pull my big gooseneck trailers. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40726-2004-mack-cx612/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcity Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 2004? By now all the bugs should be gone. The set back axle gives you very good maneuverability I like the layout of the cabGet the vin# and bring it to a Mack dealer. They should be able to pull up any work done by Mack Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40726-2004-mack-cx612/#findComment-295197 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 just a heads up,the '04's were plagued with troubles,like hatcity said,by now most of the bugs should be gone,but there might be a very good reason it only has 490k miles. My brother had one and it was so bad,Mack finally took it back. I'd be damn sure to get a report on it from a Mack dealer.

TripleC Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yeah superdog, the truck was only ran in the summer time pulling a small belly-dump hauling sand. A asphalt company owned the truck, if not in use it was parked in the shop.

TRH Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Make sure someone else already had the cam done, otherwise you're playing the waiting game. Don't over-rev the sonuvabitch.
