Redland1 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Hello.I’m currently in the process of switching from hotshot hauling to flatbed and currently looking at Mack Pinnacle trucks with the MP8.2008 and up.Was wanting feedback on problems related to this engine as well as problems with the truck overall.I am also looking at Peterbilt,KW,And Freightliner,But it seems like the Cummins ISX and Detroit’s are full of engine problems and emissions problems.I don’t hear as many bad things about Mack trucks.Thanks.

kscarbel2 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 If you go to the top right corner of the BMT website and type "MP8" into the search box, you'll find a long list of posts related to your question. Also, you can use Google, and enter "MP8 problems". 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54074-mack-mp8/#findComment-404508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dirtymilkman Posted August 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2018 Just remember, only the troublesome ones are talked about. Nobody starts a thread because they don't have issues. For every lemon there are several hundreds of ones without issues. 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54074-mack-mp8/#findComment-404541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Don't listen to him, he wants you to buy an MP8 only because he's a multi-millionaire Volvo stockholder. He bought Volvo shares in 2002 at $2.95 and sold a large stake last January near $21. Five homes, a car and truck collection, he doesn't like to talk about it. Running milk is just something to pass the time. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54074-mack-mp8/#findComment-404545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxidyne Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Heck, thought I was the only one here who made money on Volvo stock. Used to be you'd make more money buying Volvo stock than you would make buying and running a Volvo truck.

He allowed some scenes of "The Presidio" to be shot there, met Sean Connery and still earns royalties from the picture.

kscarbel2 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The last time I flew Singapore Airlines to San Francisco, my miles bumped me up to first class at no charge, and there's Mark in first class with no less than three of their legendarily beautiful stewardesses chatting with him. And the subject of milk didn't come up. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54074-mack-mp8/#findComment-404590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
