THIS ISNT YOUR GRANDAD'S MACK....CXU613 MP7 10 SPD 

got my 2016 pinnacle MP7 ..just love it 650k no issues at all with the engine. Smooth ride six air bags, fuel efficiency.

My dad drove one of those where he use to work (r&l) and he actually liked those trucks in the snow compared to internationals and Pete’s of the same age. Never heard him complain much about them for breakdowns either. Seems like a good buy 👍

My great-grandfather went over the hill down there in Tennessee he drove for the WPA the only thing that saved him was the Bulldog on the hood my step-dad drove Mack Trucks also the r-type like it was a 88 they are really good at climbing Hills got that nice low end got to love that Buckeye state rust it's on everything kind of like Frank's Red Hot

Hi JC thank you for sharing 😎

Hello from Northeast Pennsylvania (Nanticoke) J.C. And Mrs. J.C.!!!

Not a bad truck J.C! 🙂👍 Our newer Mack trucks at work have a problem with eating steering boxes. They tend to lock up while you're driving with a load. Makes for a sketchy situation. The dealer told us quite a few years of them had a "silent" recall. 🔧🔩 Just something to look for. Take care

hello j.c & mrs.smith it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks j.c friends randy

Every Mack I have ever driven had the Spark lit up.

I’ve watched all of your videos. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say rustjacking more than you. Love it. You should be in the Guinness book. Lol

thanks for sharing always enjoy your videos

Great video J.C.Smith nice truck you purchased. Fix a couple of things and turn around and sell it or something else. Thanks for sharing stay safe Mr & Mrs J.C.Smith.

JC, I bet with a few minor repairs you pointed out, a good pressure washing of the engine, cleaning up the interior and a buff job, you could make a decent profit.

Place I worked at replaced a early 2000s international tandem with a Mack. Never did like it. It’s all in personal preference, I reckon. Cab felt super small with the wrap around dash, road terrible unless it was slap overloaded, and a oil tanker has a tighter turn radius. Always had a reappearing check engine light every few weeks. But I will say it never left us stranded and could plum pull a house down. Great vid as always jc!

Thanks for the video. Looks like a nice truck.

looks like a decent truck. im not so up on the newer ones but my cx613 served me well.

Dear J.C. Smith projects family. 👍👌👏 Your truck nr. 81 (respectively 101) runs, sounds and shifts really good. So: Congratulations 🎉 for purchasing this big rig. I'm pretty sure that with, after the typical TLC from both of you, this vehicle could sell well and fast. Or maybe you wanna keep this too? 😁 ;-) 👅😇😘 I guess Jeff will like the bulldog. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you (including good old Jeff of course).

Nice truck JC!!! Thanks for sharing!

Here in Texas they will throw a dump bed on it as a tandem and it will sell quickly. Or they would put a end dump behind it

Don't forget to polish the headlights.

Have to love a 2 wire system. Peterbilt uses a 3 wire. No way to bypass it in a pinch. Usually not the sensor that goes it's the whole tank it has a magnet that floats with the coolsnt level.

It’s true that Mack isn’t what it was in years past, but I’ve ran anthems and pinnacles on an off the last few years and I’ll take them over my 389 or fld120

Hopefully branching out to a different brand will bring you new customers interested in what you make and sell. Good luck. Thanks

Driven lots of 613 concrete mixers with AMi330s mp7 405 egr and mp7 scr with Eaton and Mack 8 9, 12 speeds and Allison 4500rds autos I think they are great motors, great fuel mileage even when most of the day is spent with your foot on the floor. The scr motors burn way less def than the Cummins or Navistar. They also pull great and have a fantastic jake brake. Going from the AmI 330 to the 405hp mp7 was like going from a Ford 300 i6 to a 5.9 Cummins in terms of power. though I think the Ami was a fantastic engine too. I cannot remember a single mp7 having catastrophic engine failure, the N13 Navistar In the truck I drive made it 50k miles before it dropped 2 valves coming up to a stop light. from what I've heard it is indeed a Volvo engine but with Mack tuning, Don't know if that is true or not.

I grew up on macks and got my class a at 18 in a mack so they are my favorites !!! I like super liners and the rd688 style because the older ones are the toughest trucks going . Nobody really likes the macks for road tractors because they rode so hard in the past due to having all heavy spec parts on them bit for abusive jobs like dump trucks and day cab lowboy work an older mack is my first pick !!!

When you said you don’t want it or need it, I knew you were going to buy it. Back in the old days, only Mack’s with Mack engines had the gold bulldog hood ornament. If it was not a Mack engine, the bulldog was silver. I drove an old Mack many miles back in the 80’s. Not good memories. It was a worn out junker with a tag axle. I drove it from the Bay Area to Dallas in the summer with no AC. Miserable.

Great video👍👍👍

When I was at the county, we had a pre-volvo mack for a water truck. Great truck, but oddly it was just a 5 speed. No two speed rear or anything. Kinda weird. Supposedly it was built from a OTR rig.

If you think about it. Our generation of Mack's. I'm talking 80's and up. Mack was always owned by a foreign manufacturer. Before Volvo,is was Renault. The new trucks yes have Volvo running gear, and electronics. The rear ends can still be all Mack, especially the top loader rear gears. If you look at other truck manufacturers, there all owned,or powered by outside owners. Freightliner,Western Star are under Mercedes. International is under the Volkswagen flag. The PACCAR engine in Peterbilt, and KW,that's a European design. I'm actually fine with the Volvo group ownership.

Great video!!!

😎👍

If you ever find a golden bulldog Mack might wanna reconsider not getting! If it’s an authentic gold bulldog it has all original OE parts

My dad drove a V8 Mack in the 90s. But it is sad that so many great companies get brought out by cheap European truck companies. Mercedes Benz brought out Freightliner and Western Star.

While I hear you, the fact is that fleet purchases are the race to the bottom. The cheapest truck that barely meets the specs will win and be bought. There is no money in making something of higher quality that will last longer. Most companies keep the truck only until the warranty is up and the magic Million miles is on the clock and then they dump it as quickly as possible before they have to spend one cent more on it. Any investment into something longer-lasting or better quality is futile; the fleet purchasers are not spending more money so that the second or third owners end up with a better truck. Yes, owner-operators may think differently, and so may some vocational truck buyers, but the margin for spending cash on the truck is limited there as well. As a society, we seem happy with "buying cheap, buying twice" and the manufacturers are catering to that. I own a couple of vintage class 8 trucks and the idea that anyone would be interested in keeping this old trash in running and working order blows the heads of the average Millennial parts counter guy right up. "You need a part for a truck OLDER than 2002?????" POOF.

Let’s finish the sxs trailer. Awaiting the finial wiring so I can order the parts I need to split the blinker and tail light. And still trying to figure out what your doing with the receiver tubes mounted upright

It’s a really good looking truck J.C.! I hope you can get a healthy profit off of it. Are you not a Volvo fan just because they’re cheaply produced?

under cdl single axle 6 yard bed or 8ft tall side or 9ft short side Over cdl 6wheeler prefer 9ft 8 yard bed 40000gvw 10 wheeler needs to have a 16-18ft bed or 18 yards Triple axle dump 22 yard body

Mack ain't been Mack since they left Allentown.

got any part numbers for those rusted coolant lines?

so with how great you do with frames would it be a better truck (value versus improvement cost) to make into a longer dump truck or leave it as a shorter one? which would sell quicker for ya

What kind of scan tool do you use on the heavy duty side? I’m in the market for one, but not sure what to get.

Mack has been dead for years sadly.

I am a Kenworth guy but the Mack doesn't look bad. Freightliner and Volvo no.

They were bought in 2007 not 2000

Have you been selling alot of used parts lately? Seems like people are fixing instead of buying new

Hopefully you don't get the lightning bolt of terror on the dash..... edit: nevermind its already there

Besides that yeah m drive and I shift Volvos are identical. Volvos are for automatic drivers. 😂😂

Mack doesn't even know anything about mack anymore sad.. if you're interested in buying a mack I'm selling my 2002 mack vision sleeper truck has a 475hp mack E7 engine.

Only beginners and poor people will buy a road tractor and make a dump truck out of it. It’s not a good move the frames on the light for an axle cannot take it.

Your dam right volvos are trash

Eww a mack

Volvo is 🤮
