How much price difference could there be between a ENDT673C and a quad box compared to a Maxidyne and a 6 speed? The engine is more or less the same except for fuel settings and turbo 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75053-latest-find/page/2/#findComment-567430 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine is more or less the same except for fuel settings and turbo I had a fleet that bought 20 DMs with Thermodynes and Fuller 13-speeds. I pleaded with them to pay up for the indestructible Maxidyne/Maxitorque drivetrain. They had Internationals with that small diesel and Fullers.......one couldn't convince them that Mack had an altogether different and game-changing powertrain. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75053-latest-find/page/2/#findComment-567433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted Thursday at 07:19 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:19 PM It is more easy to sell an O/O on something new and different than a fleet. They want all the same, no changes. A fleet full of half one way and half another, along with slip-seating is a recipe for an unhappy customer. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75053-latest-find/page/2/#findComment-567437 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxidynes were hardly new in 1981, and what they were replacing was a mismatched bunch of everything. It was George Harms Construction and they went from pretty much nothing. to a whole yard full of brand new equipment when they Got the contract for the Black Bridge, and a big contract to replace power structures along the railroad. He seriously went from a guy in a pickup and a flannel shirt, to a guy with a private helicopter in the space of a couple years Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75053-latest-find/page/2/#findComment-567493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
