When this setup came out on the top mounted in and out there was a lot of grief with it! just my opinion Yea they did move it to there.

mechohaulic Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 most of us know today's cost to buy a plastic truck;; magine the cost in todays world to buy a steel truck like DM800 . all the soda cans given up to build just the hood. has been said many times on here; it's a different world. air bags carry 100K . to put old style lower cross over line the cross brace and fuel tanks would have to with stand a direct hit . like military hum vees. modern tech also save the turtles and bugs. fewer fuel spills with top cross over.

Onyx610 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 A lot of the plastic pieces on these trucks comes back to the government again. Every year manufactures need to find ways to shave weight to appease the governments fuel economy standards. However arnt plastics made from petroleum products? 🤔 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72365-fuel-tanks-not-balancing/page/2/#findComment-523561 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a time when Mack on the odd occasion would pull from assembly line parts to get you going we had it done for us on several occasions! When Mack was Mack !The turbo feasco back in the early 2004 was an example! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72365-fuel-tanks-not-balancing/page/2/#findComment-523591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark T Posted January 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2023 Someone figured out too that the longer a truck sits as the warranty runs out, the less chance they gotta cover something. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72365-fuel-tanks-not-balancing/page/2/#findComment-523593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
