  1. Apply 20wt non-detergent motor oil to the (rubber) trunnion insulators at installation.
  2. MAN builds a very good truck, arguably better than M-B. However Scania with its Mack-born V8 is simply the world's best. .
  3. 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.
  4. No sir. That was not me.
  5. 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.
  8. We spoke on this a while back, Bob.

  10. 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 .
  11. I know some people there. I brought it up. They did engineer it to be spec'd as a tractor.
  12. Who was kicked off BMT ? I await your reply.
  13. Who was kicked off BMT ?

  15. 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 !
  16. "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 .
  17. 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.
  18. "Overland by TIR truck (Mack F-Model) from England to Iran" Available on Amazon...............https://www.amazon.com/Me-Mack-Tehran-Back-authentic/dp/B08RR5ZCB9/ref=sr_1_30?keywords=mack+trucks&qid=1668697220&s=books&sprefix=mack%2Cstripbooks%2C99&sr=1-30
  19. If you can't join the discussion and express your opinions/thoughts without being vulgar, then refrain from posting comments. Respecting the opinions of others is a sign of good character.
  20. While they call it a JV, to my knowledge Bob they did not create a new entity.
  21. International Trucks Press Release / September 21, 2020 Just because you grow up doesn't mean you have to stop playing in the sandbox. .
