These brochures you posted are very useful.

Just wanted to pont out one moment. Your truck is RW713 made after 1985, so 2nd generation, right? If so it has front springs (leaves) 4" wide.

The spring spec list above represents the same leaves (at each option) for R, RD, U, RW and W (WS?) models. R's definitely have 3.5" leaves and the same for WS (Cruiseliner). So seeing the numbers I guess the table works for the 1st generation pre-85 Superliners RWS/RWL.

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.

Thanks, I appreciate it. How did you determine or cross that over ? 

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.

Looks like Scania and MANN hit the ball, Ford just went to where it landed and picked it up. 

MAN builds a very good truck, arguably better than M-B.

However Scania with its Mack-born V8 is simply the world's best.

Scania with Ford badge.

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.

@kscarbel2 were you the one a number of years ago looking to turn your Virginia property into a retired Veteran community? I thought that was a great idea, was annoyed to hear how much of a roadblock the local government was on it.

No sir. That was not me.

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.

I had heard you were kicked off bmt  for snarky remarks but maybe I'm mistaken. 

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.

We spoke on this a while back, Bob.

That thing would make a nice vocational tractor.

I know some people there. I brought it up. They did engineer it to be spec'd as a tractor.

Well, when Edsel was designing the Model A, Henry was NOT impressed as he thought the model T to be the perfect car and needed no changes so..............As far as that truck goes, I could only drive it in the dark as I would be embarrassed to be seen driving such an ugly POS.....but that is just me.

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 !

Paul, Scania stopped sending trucks to the states for sale was back in 92 because they did want to meet EPA emissions standards person CAN import one, but the cost for shipping and meeting EPA emissions standards make it not worth the cost.

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.
