GOOG Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Are you referring the electric/mechanical throttle? I have a 1993 Superliner that has electric throttle.

bbigrig Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) The only electronically controlled engine installed in the RW II chassis to be sold to the public was the E7 with Vmac 1 controls. It was available in late 1990. Cat and Cummins was still mechanical. No Detroit in the last years of RW production. An ex Mack engineering friend of mine tells me there was a test RW fitted with a series 60 Detroit that never made production. The 60 series offering ended up with the release of the CL instead in 93.

Hmmm That give me ideas for another project LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52372-superliner-question/#findComment-391330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lmackattack Posted February 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2018 I know alot of OTR guys liked the Series 60 but all the billy big rig paccar owners tried to talk if down for it not being a cat or cummins. I think it was just as reliable as the 3406E and it got better fuel milage. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52372-superliner-question/#findComment-391332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbigrig Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I've worked on lots of 60 series. Great engine. I've actually thought of putting one in an MH if I ever get the chance. I've seen a few in CLs. Pretty good set up. 14 hours ago, Yoos Brothers Construction said: I'm not a big Detroit fan but 60 series aren't a bad engine.
