Jamaican Bulldog Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 'Built Mack Tough' have always described Mack as having high endurance and reliability. With such a long history, which Mack components such as engines, transmissions or axles etc have had the best reputation of long endurance before overhaul or replacements? A man at Truck wash once told me that his Superliner had gone 2 million miles before overhaul with a E350. I have know someone with a twin stick Mack transmission that have never been opened in 30 yrs. But I also know people with signature Cummins engines with way over 1 million miles without overhaul. Which Mack components have stood out?

41chevy Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Most all of the older Macks were over engineered and over built. In my opinion, most all pre Volvo trucks and pre computer units all are tough. But like every thing, it also depends on maintenance, lube, knowing their limits and not excessive abuse.I feel the camel back is the toughest set up MACK made.
