Mr. Benton, <br />The SD70MAC's are only 9-12 Years old depending on delieverly dates. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by edbenton</i> <br /><br />Also remember those first 70MAC's are also 15 years old and maybe BNSF is looking for a replacement for them. 15 years of pulling max weight and maxpower on grades will wear out an engine regardless of who made it. There are fleets out there in the trucking feild they are replaced every 2-3 years just do to the wear from the mountains. try having only 12000 hp remember the first sd70's only had 4000 hp and pulling crawford hill or other grades like that. <br />[/quote]
