  1. Seen some bed trucks and others advertised as CNG a few different times in truck paper http://www.truckpape...px?OHID=2690877&

    Westport seems to be ready http://www.westport.com/

    Chesapeake Energy seems to be ready for infrastructure

    Chesapeake Energy Corporation's $150 million partnership with Clean Energy Fuels Corp. will help create a Natural Gas Highway system across America. It will lower transportation fuel costs dramatically and transform a trucking industry that remains an indispensible conduit of our nation's commerce.

    Chesapeake's investment will underwrite approximately 150 LNG (liquefied natural gas) fueling stations, increasing by more than tenfold the number of publicly accessible stations and providing heavy-duty trucks ready access to cleaner and more affordable American natural gas along major interstate highways.

    Currently priced significantly less than diesel or gasoline, American natural gas produces up to 30% lower greenhouse gas emissions in light-duty vehicles and 23% lower emissions in medium to heavy-duty vehicles. According to EPA data, replacing just 10% of diesel engines used in heavy-duty transportation with clean-burning natural gas engines could cut nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx) by as much as 200,000 tons per year, reducing air pollution and helping protect public health.

    Clean Energy is the largest provider of natural gas fuel for transportation in North America and a global leader in the expanding natural gas vehicle market. Together, we're doing the work to save American consumers an estimated $1.50 – $2.00 a gallon on conventional gasoline and diesel.

    Our country deserves a cleaner, more affordable fuel – made by and for Americans

  2. Thanks Hook,, for posting this

    This will show volvo a few very important things

    1) A factory Mack sleeper will fit on a TD

    2) The devotion of Mack owners to have what they need and not going to other brand trucks.

    Can only imagine how this sale went,,,,,,I need a TD with a 63" sleeper ,,,(red flag on computer screen) Sorry Sir volvo says you don't need it... @#%& volvo get me a day cab and do it myself

  3. Was sitting in Burger King (don't ask!) and saw a car hauler with all kinds of classic cars, then behind him, an Orange B model with integral sleeper! Then, behind him, another orange B model! The second one had the window on the sides of the sleeper. Both were short wheelbase, nice new chrome etc....they were gone before I could get my camera out!

    I think there is a small truck show here locally (maybe Watsontown, PA)...If so, I WILL get some photos!

    Leslie

    Spencer's have a truck show in July at their garage maybe there,,,,I know I'm a little late on

    suggestions

  4. The extra gap you see under the cab and the sleeper is because the titans heavy duty dual air cleaner system is located under the cab rather than under the hood. It raises the cab up higher which from the titan i test drove at our local dealer gives a pretty commanding view of the road. I liked looking down at all the little trucks i passed!

    I understand the gap,,,,,,but not having the factory rocker panel and no compartment door,, like all other Mack sleeper trucks do,, make it look odd.

    I also understand looking down on trucks as you pass but on rural road,, that them lower truck run everyday ,,then comes you 10" higher smacking tree limbs

  5. The sleeper on the back of the Titan is a Granite hours of service sleeper.

    Thanks 3P,, for the pictures

    I think you could get away with a 28" or 30" sleeper,, to meet D.O.T Sleeper rule

    If it didn't make straight trucks so long,,,,,more trucking company's would be using them to

    get around the 11 hour rule.

  6. Never seen one in person, so I'm certainly no expert on them, but the base engine should essentially be the same as the automotive E7 engine. The troubleshooting section in the Mechanical Marine E7 manual 5-108 says oil cooler or head gasket. Do you have a the service manual for the engine?

    I always wondered how those engines performed and was always intrigued by the fact that the same base engine that in automotive applications only put out 350 HP stock could be reliably hopped up to 650 HP for marine usage.

    It has been while,,,,,,,but do remember Mackpower division was able to get higher horsepower

    in marine and industrial applications because the torque level is lower then road engines

    pumping water or turning a generator doesn't require torque so dyno horsepower is impressive but torque is low

  9. Thinking about the ideal of a fuel cooler. I noticed today that the fuel temp in the tanks were 100 degrees. Wonder if running through a cooler to get the fuel temps down would help preformance? I know the drag racers do it with gas engines. Any thoughts out there?

    Cant hurt (fuel cooler),,,,,You remember the fuel tank heaters we use to use years ago,,,and if you didn't bypass them in the summer the truck ran like crap and MPG went down.

    Help a buddy with a 05 AI (inj,turbo and Hagerstown exempt the the emissions) and yes the fuel tank is very hot,,the owner cant polish his tanks when he waits for the paver.

    My thoughts is this new fuel burns to hot and fast......and needs more cold dense air,,,I been seeing this with the my

    E7 and E9 when its hot and humid it cant get enough air to get proper burn.

    I have been using the Donaldson air filter,,,,,,seems to be less paper density then the Mack element,,,unless they are now

    the same don't know.

  10. Hello,, Rob

    We use to wrap the gear stick with rollbar padding to deaden the trans noise.

    don't know how bad your whine is or if its coming up the stick or outside.

    I wrap mine to cut out harmonic tone from the road.

    Your noise might be more then your normal Fuller whine,,don't know

  11. That Aran place is consistently higher than a noon summer sun on pricing.

    Rob

    They seem to be nuts,,,,,,Anyone that tracks Truckpaper would have seen it for 28,000,, We had

    a little talk here (Macks for sale) about it being pricey at 28,000

  12. I have no clue what they are trying to do with the RW,,

    Aran now has it for sale for $38,500

    Joesph had it for sale for $28,000 first and taken off or sold in a weeks time
