Mack anthem problems

Rony

I had a Mack anthem that had some weird engine issues. Then got a new anthem and everything was going great. Unfortunately the new anthem is already having issues. The air pressures have been running lower and isn't going up. The wheels locked up and it just got towed this morning. Not sure what's going to happen.

Good thing you got it towed before it turned into a roadside barbecue

Air pressure issues. Could be a leak or a compressor problem.

Rough patch with that Anthem

Sounds like you have an air leak somewhere in your system. Check your hoses, valves, fittings, and tanks for any cracks or damage. Also make sure your air dryer is working properly and draining moisture from the air.

Sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your Mack anthem. It sounds like a lemon. You should contact Mack and see if they can fix it under warranty or replace it with another one.

That’s why I don’t trust Mack trucks. They’re overpriced and unreliable. You should have gotten a Freightliner or a Volvo instead.

+ New trucks almost always have bugs you need to work out. When I was assigned a new truck, I always wanted one that had at least 50,000 miles on it so that someone else had already worked out the bugs. I can't help you with the issue you have, but I can assure you that bugs in new trucks are common.

New trucks and older trucks all will have mechanical issues. My current truck has been down for DEF/DPF problems three times for at least two days each time. I have had the mechanical side of the APU worked on three times, also. Yesterday, I had the radiator replaced, two new drive tires, the rear drive brakes and rotors, annual inspection, all the filters replaced, two new headlight bulbs, and a grease job.

I’ve been driving a new to me Anthem for a few weeks now. It’s only got 122k miles on it but the previous driver trashed it. I’ve been spending my down time trying to clean it up. Haven’t had any issues with it other then that stupid hood. Who ever designed that latch system needs to go back to school. All of our trucks (day cabs) have the same problem; the hood shakes, rattles and rolls with every bump and twist.

No mechanical problems with my mack so far at 55k kms other than being a magnet for idiot 4 wheelers lol 😂
