  1. Yes, the WS/WL did use R-model springs, e.g. 2QK3378 (10,500lb) and 2QK3378P2 (12,000lb). But the Super-Liner II (aka. RWI), well the RWI 600 was an Ultra-Liner chassis while the RWI700 was a heavier variant of that chassis. And the MH/RWI used a new family of springs.
  2. It's stamped right there on the front of the axle. Also, if I researched the front axle assembly number also in your picture (it appears to be 1QHA5745P2), it would tell me the axle model and show all the parts.
  3. Apply 20wt non-detergent motor oil to the (rubber) trunnion insulators at installation.
  4. MAN builds a very good truck, arguably better than M-B. However Scania with its Mack-born V8 is simply the world's best. .
  5. Well that's quite a compliment. I'll just say it's a European-style COE wearing the blue oval. Ford-Otosan really hit it out of the park with the F-Max.
  6. Bob, at the EPA's direction and with their funding, Navistar attempted to reach EPA2010 (virtually Euro 6) with MEGR (massive exhaust gas recirculation.....levels of 35% to 50%). Today's engines still utilize a modest amount of EGR, but SCR to achieve emissions with Adblue.
  7. You heard wrong. Whoever told you that is grossly misinformed. I invite you to call Barry. Even busier than before, I lack the time to post as much as I once did.

  9. This is a beautiful truck.......Ford F-Max L, powered by the 500 horsepower Ford 12.7L Ecotorq. https://www.fordtrucks.com.tr/Uploads/Documents/f_max_l_eng_euro6e.pdf .
  10. I know some people there. I brought it up. They did engineer it to be spec'd as a tractor.
  11. Who was kicked off BMT ? I await your reply.

  13. I feel it's a great looking truck. I'm very proud of Ford's global heavy truck business. I know that Bill Ford is. He took a chance with financing the F-Max, i.e. investing in taking Ford International to the next level, and it has paid off !
  14. "At Ford, we're serious about trucking. That's why we designed the new F-Line from the ground up to meet your needs. Why we build them to be lightweight and tough. And back them with a global dealer network specializing in heavy trucks with some of the finest facilities in the industry." . https://www.fordtrucks.com.tr/en/news/f-line https://www.fordtrucks.com.tr/en/news/solutrans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-IaiaYU6m4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP9IPP4okAg .
  15. If I may, emissions is not the reason Scania withdrew from the US market. There were other reasons. I later worked with the people who oversaw the US market.
