@punhoss , lmao, there is no way an Aussie would be driving this top of the line piece of American gear, this one is driven around south otago in New Zealand.
Some of the older macks only used 5 speeds because of the motor they sometimes used, they had flat torque curves from like 1000 rpms to like 1800/2100 rpms.
@Hotrodx199 yeah my father drove a mack 5 speed for a milk company Absolute sluggish piece of crap. Smoke and nothing more...... Companys peterbilt 359 400 bc1 and 9 speed far better truck
on those old macks you found the gear and smoothly put the pedal to the floor and let it pull through its 800-1000rpm powerband. let up/shift/ do it again...
What's the hurry?

flooring it is not an uncommon thing. We do pool water and even going up some hills with a 550 hp cat you stil have to floor it.
