yeah that looks like its in nice shape. Not a fan of macks but they are tough trucks.I have a truck at work that has roughly 1,500,000 miles on the odometer! Its a 95 pete with a 3406B or C. Its on its third overhaul. Everytime we have a new driver start in they come into the shop and ask me if the odometer is correct.Yes the reason they get such high mileage is because of the piston and sleeve set up. But the reason for the piston and sleeve is so that you can remove all the internals without removing the block from the chassis.The other reason for long life is because of the lower RPM. There is alot of mass being rotated in the block.Most diesel engines in truck only hit about 2k to 2500 RPM.Il try to get a pic of the odometer next time its in the shop.
If at first you dont succeed, suck another seed!:crazy:
