What this mod does

Mack E7 E-TECH Engine Sound adds six-cylinder Mack engines with their own sound. It’s made by Knights Gaming, who also made a sound for the Volvo D13, and it was updated five times in its first month.

Engines by truck

  • Mack R Series (modded truck): E7 E-TECH engines from 400 to 460 hp and a tuned 525 hp version.
  • Mack Pinnacle: ASET engines from 400 to 460 hp and the 525 hp version.

Requirements

Steam marks two mods by the same author as required: Interior Soundproofing for Modded Trucks and Interior Soundproofing for SCS Trucks and Cars. Since version 1.4, cab soundproofing lives in those mods rather than in this one.

Recent history

  • 1.1 (July 29): 427 to 525 hp engines for the Mack R.
  • 1.3 (August 18): removes support for modern trucks and adds improvements.
  • 1.5 (August 24): support for the Mack Pinnacle.

Version and credits

Version 1.5 is from August 2026, during the ATS 1.60 era; the author doesn’t list a game version or load order. Credits: Kriechbaum, KnightRider and SCS Software. The author accepts donations through PayPal and has a YouTube channel (@KnightsGamingYT).
