There a still quite a few E9 Mack's being run by aficionados down under here in Australia, I drove a couple of straight pipe 500hp E9 Superliners in Western NSW in the late 90's and they could be heard coming 2 miles out of town early in the morning, always liked the Mack 12 speedbox.
I also drove mack r600 mod 350 Cummins 9spd like the old saying goes if it ain't a mack you might as well take it back same goes for a cat machinces 👍👍
thats correct.......especially when pulling doubles......the thumping would approach and then as it went past, the howl of the 12 speed would wash over the observer.
I worked at a company in the 80's and 90's that had three Superliners with the V-8s. We pulled dump trailers and lowboys with them. They had the pulling power but drank the fuel. That's a very solid truck you have there.
The E-9s in Australia were capable of getting 6 mpg as a standard semi @ 42.5 T or around 85000 pounds. But add a lowboy and they"ll work a bit harder. The E-9 Mack was also one of the first B train engines along with the 8V92TA Detroit . Cummins never figured as they didn't have enough power until the Signature came out.
You're living my dream right there, WOW! I've always been a MACK trucks fan, but my ultimate wish was to own a Superliner E9 just like the one you found down to the color and class. Please take good care of it and make it look like when it came out of the factory. Would love to see more videos of this beauty 👍
My all time favorite truck. If they came with twin stacks it had a 500hp V8 and if it was single stack it had a 350hp straight 6. Company my father drove for custom ordered 2 roll off trucks in 89. They have a plaque on the passenger side of the dash that says CUSTOM BUILT FOR BERKSHIRE CLEANWAY, DALTON MA. The driver's asked to have them single stack but with the E9 500. So people thought they had 350's in them until they took off. Haha you can get good power out of those E9's. 👍👍
My grandfather’s “retirement rig” was an ‘87 Superliner with the E7 350 straight six, 9 speed. Can’t remember how many oil changes, lube jobs, & washes/waxing I did on that truck for my grandpa, that’s how I fell in love with Mack Trucks. Good luck with that old bulldog.
the E7-350 "four valve" mack engines were incredibly good for what they were......very simple,reliable,fuel efficient and lots of pulling power, they could equal a 400 V8 Mack or a 400 Cummins no problem.
I live about 15 minutes from that place, never knew that truck was there! Used to be an old marmon there when I was a kid it was light yellow. Always wondered where it went
Is it a Mack motor or a Cat 3408... The Mack motor is epic sounding. Love it. They are Fantastic trucks that sound as great as they look. Scrappy Insudstries got one and cleaned it all up inside and out and haul all their heavy equipment with it. Love to see you do a series on this truck for sure. An all around great feature to have on a youtube channel. Those Mack motors are low frequency Earth Quakers lol
the rather problematic Mack 9 speed box........front sections are fine, its the rear range change section that gives the trouble, once the multi pack clutches start to wear, they make pretty horrible noises when shifting hi/lo range. She idles nice, the injector pump is in decent shape.......when they "roll" at idle, you know they are getting old and need work.
@@Goodmans_FR very much so, it will come with time especially if you set the racks up so the ole girl really gets the fuel. The dogs will really wanna run. Happy trucking 🚚
Bled the fuel and checked it all over, adjusted all the brakes. It took a while but once it got fuel up to the injectors it fired right up. I’m upset I never got all that on video.
depends on the load........grossing 80 metric tons on road trains, we were getting 1.4km per liter. By comparison, a NTC-400Cummins would get about 1.6 km per liter. The V8 Mack was not fuel efficient, despite the charge air cooler.
It’s a E9-500, Mack 9 speed and rear ends, I think 4:74 gear ratio, Nu Way air ride. It was ordered by a fuel company out of a town near Scranton so it hauled a tanker all its life.
Be still my beating heart. The Super Puppy is one of my favorites. You’re living the dream of so many of us.

Am a huge Mack Superliner E-9 500 fan. You are one lucky cowboy for sure. Ride like the wind..

Thank you very much, I do have some more video and will post it soon, I have big plans for the Mack as it’s my dream as well.
6" Straight pipes are a must have! The beautiful sound of the E9 is like nothing else!

What A Gorgeous Truck !!!!!!! For Me, It's Always Been " Mack " !!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!

that's a gorgeous truck, gonna look even better once you have it cleaned up. congrats
Really Appreciate it Joe
She's a beauty. A little quiet. A nice set of 7in straight pipes might have her purring like a kitten!!!
Or growlin like a bull dog
Great job my friend. I would not look at any other truck while a Mack superliner is about
Thank you, always liked the big radiator. Also appreciate old Generals and LTL 9000 Fords, but the Mack takes it for me.
Love the super liner, I had a 87 super liner with a e7c 350 13spd pulled incredibly hot luck w/your E9 500
I used to drive a 91 S.L. that had a 425 Cat, those trucks are awesome ❤ Good luck with yours ❤
e9s dont get the respect thay deserve.
Oh yeah I’ve read the debates all over the internet. I love it but it’s not on the road running everyday either.
A 30g truck people would pay for that down here being a E9 so be happy you got a real clean one like that.
I have a 1990 with a bunk I love it im in Nova Scotia ca would love to have a E9.
You need to put straight pipes on it and let that v-8 talk. This is one nice truck
Very nice truck
Wow dude, need to practice your shifting. Beautiful truck!
I got used to it finally, always drove a R13 speed behind an 8V92
Had a 80 superfine 400 15 over roadranger ran good, double bunk mack sleeper
Beautiful sound
I live about 15 minutes from that place, never knew that truck was there! Used to be an old marmon there when I was a kid it was light yellow. Always wondered where it went
Hah small world, a Mormon would be neat, it’s not there anymore
Cool truck,!
Mack Attack! 👍😎
I owned a 87supetlimet loved it

Sounds like you need a guy to shift that super dog for you 😉
I’m getting better, used to a Detroit with a 13 speed, much different.
@@Goodmans_FR very much so, it will come with time especially if you set the racks up so the ole girl really gets the fuel. The dogs will really wanna run. Happy trucking 🚚
Nice
Old transmission sounds nice and tight 🙌 good sounding truck no jake breaks?
Thanks it does have the Mack version of Jake’s which I think was called dynatard?
Great job!!
Thank you
Im wondering if it was black from factory with magnum and stripes down the side especially with the red interior
2003 mack superliner is real life
disney pixer cars
Sorry if I missed but did you say what you paid for it? I know its rude to ask. I've always loved the Superliners.
Very good
Thanks
Beautiful rig, I’m looking at picking one up that’s really similar to yours.
If you don’t mind me asking what was the price?
Is there anything new with the superliner?
What did you have to do to get it running at the setting 12 years?
Bled the fuel and checked it all over, adjusted all the brakes. It took a while but once it got fuel up to the injectors it fired right up. I’m upset I never got all that on video.
@@Goodmans_FR so basically, after bleeding the injectors, getting all the air out of the lines at fired right up?
That looks like an old pala wood truck out of Watertown ny
How much is the regular consumption of that engine? Let's say every 100 km?
depends on the load........grossing 80 metric tons on road trains, we were getting 1.4km per liter. By comparison, a NTC-400Cummins would get about 1.6 km per liter. The V8 Mack was not fuel efficient, despite the charge air cooler.
Would give both of them for that truck! Want to sell her? Everything is for sale!
What's the specs for this old rid?
It’s a E9-500, Mack 9 speed and rear ends, I think 4:74 gear ratio, Nu Way air ride. It was ordered by a fuel company out of a town near Scranton so it hauled a tanker all its life.
Want to sell it?
Please don’t drive it I feel sorry for the gearbox😢
Man you're mumbling can't here half the things you're saying a pity.
