@@Maddogtrucking for the work those little macks can do and on very little fuel and run forever they are the way to go , but if you really pulling heavy load and very easy to shift and run forever the 3406 is way to go ...... very expensive but also resale almost like new .
@user-lq4mo8dw1p good question. I'm a die hard mack guy use to praise their auto power divider which this truck has but I never really know if the power divider is doing what it should. It will go through some muck but not as well as a truck with a manual power divider with axle lock. if I was to spec out a new truck it would have manual lockers. The pete I drive now has that set up (on air ride) and will go places my mack wishes it could.
@@Maddogtrucking I hauled coal for over 30 years and I've driven almost everything you can think of and may already know this but when it comes to getting a mack power devider to lock up when the wheels are starting to spin you go ahead and rev it pretty high rpm's then quickly let completely off the fuel then go back full throttle quickly and that locks up the rears .....they work if it's done right .
I started hauling fuel 45 yrs ago. I drove an r700 that had a 290 Cummins, with a 10 spd. When someone asked on the radio what I had for a motor,,, I told them it was a rolls, canhardly. Rolls like a bitch downhill,, can hardly make it up hill. Boy, come a long way since then.
I always found it odd that original owners bought long hood trucks then spec the small engine. I wonder what the difference in cost a R600 and R700 was with the same specs. If the cost was marginal, then it was bought purely for looks.
@@thekodiak77i said that because everyone were comparing this old mack with newer trucks with 3406 or c15 but when this truck was made in 60s and 70s caterpilar didn't yet have a good truck engine with engine brake. Comparing cat with this old trucks is stupid, if we are comparing equal engines timeline e9 would smoke the kitty like this mack would smoke 60s cat engines.
@@Maddogtrucking Thats a nice Mack. I wasnt running her down, it just reminded me of my F model with the same engine and had a bunch of problems with the bad castings being warped on the ones that Switzer supplied to Mack. Would take them apart and have them faced off until flat surfaces, then no more exhaust leaks. Take good care of her.
@@Maddogtrucking Good looking ride. Like many I had to have the Duck Truck Model & Trailer , just fascinated me. But way before , not sure of the Album Name , but Red Sovine had a pic on the cover of a Mean Black Superliner I think , with Phantom 309 on it. Had a like for them way back . I was weird I guess my parents said listening to ALL them ol Trucking Songs and know em word for word in the mid 70's , still in grade school. I still had the romantic picture in my mind , and understood the old days and ways back when I started out. All I wanted to do , and cars and Trucks man , that was it lol. Born to late I tell everyone. Found out quick though about the heartaches and strife , and missed time in all them songs. Finaly owned 2 trucks , then it got tough and got out. Disability now , so wont get back in. Dont miss truckin , but miss driving em though.
The old Mack trucks 1970s/80s models are tough looking.The headlights look like they are frowning at you 💪
Owned every kind of truck these old Mack’s would make money other trucks would break ur ass
Yearssssss ago, for some months, I drove a R600, with a 300 and a TRXL107 and I liked it
Mack its a good trucks, in woods and construction 😊
Turn the fuel up by 15% and you'll see a black ball of smoke come out of that bad boy
I lived in one of these for about ten years then finally got in a 3406 CAT and never looked back
@@user-rr7sb8lm6x same here. I went from a 300 mack to a 3406E. That cat had literally almost twice the power output of the little mack.

@@Maddogtrucking question is, how many times you get stuck in Mack compared to everything else?

For those who said he should get 3406, I think that Mack e9 v8 could eat and spit every 3406 in terms of power and torque.
An E9? Bud that's a Maxidyne not an E9
For some reason I thought E7 then I remembered E7s didn't show up till the 80s 😂

Sounds like an old Mack with a leaky manifold. gasket. Now if you want a great turbo sound, listen to a 1693TA Cat.
@billtodd6509 good ear. It has a bad turbo to downpipe clamp. New one is in the mail

I see the Gold Dog,Maxidine, I believe the turbo spins up to 150,000 rpm?
@johnwinslow4503 not sure. I cant count that fast 😄
MACK N° 1
Been in some of them
MAD DOG, CB HANDLE??
Was Rubber Ducks Mack this model ?
Yeah I'm pretty sure it was exactly like this but with a bull bar and a sleeper
Cuz the steering wheel identical also
@@Massey-man yes sir. The convoy movie used several RS700L macks for the movie
Yep a R model
I think the duck was r600 I 🤔
I just need a sleeper and a couple extra gears.
@@rev.randall2292 I do have a mack 12 speed that I have waiting to put in
