fjh Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Yup back when a truck was a trucks wiring was labeled properly and things were alot simpler and less captive! neat post! Paul do you have any pics of the V8 with the Vmack fuel pump mounted on the engine ! I have never seen this set up as the Vmack drive by wire set up was never offered in North America! I would like to see how the econovance was incorporated in the valley of the engine! thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66318-mack-trucks-australia/#findComment-471190 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Paul.....what kind of power numbers did they get out of the old E6 and E7's in Australia?

mrsmackpaul Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 E6 was 350 once the series intercooling was developed The E 7 was over 450 and I feel was up around the 470 in the end The E 9 was 625 in the final form that Im aware of If anyone knows better feel free to correct me Those E9s were monsters of motors, they had muscles on their muscles but never had the longevity of the E6 or E7 The longevity issue in Australia is I think mainly to do with the fact our loads are huge and they are driven on full power hour after hour day in day out The Cat 3406 motors were the same, people would put new bearings in them at 500,000km I doubt there were many E9s that did a million km's without been worked on, it was pretty common to get well over a million on a E6 I talked myself off topic then, oops Paul 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66318-mack-trucks-australia/#findComment-471226 Share on other sites More sharing options...
