Rob Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Finally moved up into the nineties,1996 CL713,58 rears,20 front,12 speed,E7-350,truck will be used to haul asphalt in NY.Fine choice I may add. Looks "up to the task" you will ask of it.I like the look of the Dayton wheels on the front. To me, those wheels always meant business over beauty. Certainly different than most trucks nowadays.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Lmackattack Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Well im shure most of us here have more opinions on the B and R models as they have been around longer. I have Never heard anything bad about the CL. I always thought of them as "top dogs of the 90s C models" I have never driven or wrenched on one so cant give any advice. I do know the CH models were good trucks if you maintained them. Biggest complaint I hear about the late 90s macks were with the electroincs. is yours a computer controled engine?Your truck looks as if its got some nice heavy specs. It should serve you very well with all the tried and proven mack components Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/4145-my-new-ride/#findComment-21715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKS Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Thanks for your replys,No it's not a computer controled engine,thats what I like about it simple heavy spec mack just like the RD I have now only a much more comfortable cab and ride.
