I don't know what Mack is doing now, but years ago the '92 Mack I drove (CH613 ??) had a Rockwell tranny. It was a 9 speed that shifted in circles. I used to joke that I would have to relearn how to shift if I had to go back to an H pattern. It turned out not to be a joke. :shock: My company bought some new Volvos and I was one of the drivers sent to pick up the new trucks. For some stupid reason I couldn't find the shift pattern diagram. It wasn't pretty!!
ops: No one would have known my predicament except that one of the trucks wouldn't start so one of the drivers rode back with me. Now I had a witness to make me feel really stupid. We won't even mention the fact that the truck had high torque on the low end so was very easy to stall which, of course, I did several times.

As for who does or doesn't like Macks, add me to the list of Mack fans.
A lot of drivers who say they don't like Macks haven't driven one. My husband drove for a company that had all Macks. A new driver hired on who had never driven a Mack. After a short time he had fallen in love!
