Popular Post dogg rescue Posted September 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2015 I would be more impressed if they could fix a complex emission problem that a dealer couldn't. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41710-ryder-project-rebirth-the-story-of-one-trucks-death-redemption/#findComment-303218 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Just as bad as the rest of reality tv.Magically, the truck is done on time, everyone has a spotless uniform and every conceivable part, widget or gizmo is on the shelf waiting for this piece of rolling excrement to come through the door. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Apple dog Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 To pull a motor out overhaul it and put it back in in less than 16 hours. If you took your truck to Ryder and had the same thing done it would take over 40 hours. I have to call this like I see it bullshit. 2 Quote This is Mack country. On a quiet night you can hear a peterbilt rust away.

TeamsterGrrrl Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 What's with all the hating on Volvo trucks? Just because the company is trying to borg Mack doesn't mean their trucks are bad. Say what you will about the company, but I'd rather drive a Volvo than a Freightliner or Navistar!

Say what you will about the company, but I'd rather drive a Volvo than a Freightliner or Navistar!Agreed, or a Freightliner, both are junk. Volvo just does odd things sometimes. For example, they'll have a 13mm nut head attached to 15mm bolt head. A pinnacle front spring hanger is not serviceable by itself. You have to replace the whole engine crossmember with both spring hangers riveted to it even though the all parts are available by themselves. Rivets yes, like 1/2" rivets are used not hucks.

TeamsterGrrrl Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Was just fondly remembering the lusty moan of a V8 Superliner pulling a 17 axle doubles "train" at DeSmet, South Dakota... Gross weight around 170,000 pounds. Haven't seen that Superliner since, but a 700+ HP Scania V8 would make a fine replacement! If Scania comes back to America the product introduction should be in South Dakota, where a Scania would put the mere 600 HP Paccar products to shame!
