"Big end" bearings for the conrod - connecting to the crankshaft... hmmm

Hi, Anyone else had difficulties dealing with Watt's Mack Parts? I was after some big end and main bearings for a F-797 with a 375hp V8 Thermodyne... I emailed them to enquire about bearings and never heard back... I emailed them once again and they replied (told me they hadn't received my first email...) asking for an engine number and other details which I inturn sent in the reply email... I haven't heard anything since and subsequent emails have not been answered. Needless to say I'm disappointed with their Parts service, or lack of... - Rob

I've driven both but didn't really think they sounded the same. The E-9 sure is a sweet sounding engine, the closest I've ever heard to one is a Scania 14 liter V8.

We had some R-612 Macks come into New Zealand back in 1984 with hood scoops, rumour was they were a cancelled shipment for a plantation in Central America... approx 22 came in as far as I know... (320hp Thermodynes)

Hi, Does anyone out there have any contacts that could supply Big End and Main crank bearings for a 375hp V8 Thermodyne?? ( late 70's model F®-797 ) Thanks, Rob

Thanks for that Trent!

Hi, Does anyone out there have any info on the Mack Lanova engines? Any help would be appreciated! Cheers, Rob

TWO NEW MACKS 10/26/2005 Mack Granite axle-forward dump truck Mack Trucks has unveiled a new range of vehicles for both highway and construction customers.

It will be a sad day when we see the Mack name gone altogether! I'm sure glad I was around to enjoy what I'd say were best years of trucking - 60's , 70's, up to mid 80's... The Europeans will eventually screw everything, take a look at their vehicles - you'll be driving bonneted versions of these like the Volvo VT-800/880 with sewing machine engines - God help us!

That E-9 powered LT Mack is unreal!!

I keep having to re-log on after already doing so, it's happening constantly - got any ideas???
