I had a Mack years ago..."Bulletproof" !

My current 2007 I/H Pro-Star has the Cummins ISX (565 hp with 1850 lbs-ft of torque). Very clean motor all in all, pulls well. It's a company truck, I get a new one every five years, this one is my favorite thus far!!

FWIW this should prolly go in :Off Topic ??
