Promo says; ZERO EMISSIONS,

You bet it will be MACK BET (Battery Electric Trucks)

I was hoping for a NEW CAB (Not a Volvo cab clone) and new Diesel Engines options...but that now are just dreams

And why are you riding three in a cab lol? There’s only two seats….Get a sleeper box. 

Vocational refuse packer truck. It is a cew of 3 working men for trash collection.

Here is the thing I HATE most on new MACK TRUCKS...

That bump-forward center console at the dash.

Very uncomfortable ride for a 3 men crew. Whoever sits at the middle gets the worst ride.

MACK TRUCKS needs to fix this "lump" on their dash-board design...

And  why MACK TRUCKS needs to cram 1/4 of the engine under the cab? I wish they will go to a flat firewall cab structure with ALL THE ENGINE IN FRONT OF IT and not part of the engine under the cab.

MACK TRUCKS also needs to do an UPGRADE on its headlamps.

Replaced all of them...

On all 4 MACK GU813s

But, they still are rubish. Poorly built headlamps from TYC. They get foggy, yellowish and tarnished so easy and they get water inside.

I would start with the rubber weathering stripe on doors. MACK TRUCKS uses a flimsy, saggy-soft rubber piece that falls appart miserably... All of our 2018 GU18s suffer this issue.

MACK TRUCK salesman blames the new door panel design that presses into the rubber stripe striking it off its place when opening the doors.

I can't beleive NAVISTAR makes a better / decent job with the rubber seals (weathering stripes) on the doors of its new cab design. This is our 2022 INTERNATIONAL MV and so far I like this cab better than the cab in our 2018 MACKs..

I don't know why HINO TRUCKS quit on their own diesel engines that have been proven to be reliable and eficient.

I don't buy that story about the HINO A09C 9.0L Diesel Engine not passing E.P.A Emissions Certifications when they do pass the more strictier European Emission Standards.  Same for the J08E 7.1L Diesel Engine wich HINO TRUCKS have been using until now WITH NO ISSUES.

Something pushed HINO TRUCKS into going with CUMMINS for Diesel Engines, maybe taxation on imported components went higher and we know HINO imports their diesel engines from JAPAN. Maybe CUMMINS pushes HINO to buy its diesel engine in exchange for HELP with electrification of HINO TRUCKS.

Too bad HINO will use the same generic diesel engine as its competirors, if there was something that set HINO TRUCKS apart was their own diesel engines known for being reliable and trouble-free.

Our 2007 HINO J08E 7.1L Diesel Engines have been more reliable than our 2018 Cummins B6.7 (International Truck)

I was expecting to order some new HINO XL7 trucks with HINO A09C 9.0L Diesel Engine (360 HP / 1050 lbs/ft and "Jake Brake") it was a superior specification than what a MACK MD7 offers with a Cummins B6.7 only 260 HP / a mere 660 lbs/ft and NO "JAKE BRAKE"

HINO TRUCK loose big time now.

MACK MD on the list? It is a recent product.

Wonder why there is no HINO TRUCKS on the list🤔...their 338 model (Now HINO L7) sure is a great truck with an outstanding reputation.

I don't want any of Navistar products after all the problems we got and still have with their Maxxforce engines. 

I will welcome these new HINO XL-7 and XL-8 trucks and watch them perform. We are looking to replace 2 2012 INTERNATIONAL Workstar trucks soon because they are nothing but trouble with their Maxxforce 9 engines.

Finally HINO TRUCKS grow to a size they can be spec'd for the Municipal market. I hope our HINO TRUCKS dealer brings some demonstration trucks XL7 single axle and XL8 tandem axle with rear-loader refuse compactors (Heil, New Way, Mc Neilus or Loadmaster)...

Too bad NAVITRASH trucks with Maxxjunk have no resale value and no one wants them in trade-in

We have 2  2007 UD 2600 trucks that are powered by HINO J08E engines and they have been very reliable. One thing I like is HINO TRUCKS' warranty of 5 years /250,000 miles.

I like the industrial look of it compared to a bald and boring looking International LT Series (a reworked ProStar)

I got mixed feelings about MACK TRUCKS staying or keeping an ageing cab structure that dates back to year 1988, but hey we got the R-Model cab or its variants (made by Superior Coach's Sheller-Globe) for almost 40 years also. Sure I would have love to see some change on doors like an incorporated indentation that follows fender design. At least is not VOLVO's VNR / VNL wide cab.

Can wait to see one in day-cab form pulling a tri-axle dump trailer and painted Mack Green. They look tough. I hope grille design gets a change.

CH cab with a Pinnacle hood on a Volvo frame with a Volvo drivetrain and new headlights.

HOW NEW!

I think MACK is making its frames in-house now.

It seems that it will retain the basic cab structure (CH/ Vision/ Pinnacle) and it will sport a brand new hood design, completely new interior design and a new sleeper design. If retaining the ageing "Mayflower cab", at least it is a relief it will not be or use a cloned VOLVO Trucks cab....

I always dreamed of an extended or long hood CHU Rawhide sporting the MP-10 engine with some external "air breathers"...

For the retro-look MACK should be inspired on the MACK LTL Trucks hood and round fenders... Too bad I am not expert on digital computer graphics

Engine is a recently top rebuilt E6 Tip Turbine 2 valve 285. New cylinder heads from MACK, New turbocharger from MACK, New head gaskets set,New fuel pump.

Check turbo and it is clean.

It has been rebuilt for about a year.

Fuel pump has been "opened" and advanced to 22°

Any ideas on what could be causing the oil leak?

IFCO RECYCLING. Puerto Rico.

MACK Granite.

Consolidated Waste Services (ConWaste)

MACK Granite.

Just their Maxxforce 9 and Maxxforce 10 now with no Advanced EGR and just plain SCR as it should have been since day one.

Still, I won't want another Navitrash....

Mack should get the new ALLISON TC10-TS for its MACK Pinnacle tractor trucks that go onto short-haul or regional delivery applications (day cab tractors)

But because ALLISON'S TC10-TS will be a direct competitor to MACK'S own M-Drive AUTOMATED MANUAL, I doubt the ALLISON TC10-TS will be available on any MACK TRUCKS for now, unless MACK complies with the request for TC10-TS equipped trucks on the production line.

I think MACK should try it, this will postion the Pinnacle as the tractor with more transmission options available (Mack, Eaton, Allison)

TC10-TS: TC -( Torque Converter / Twin Countershaft ) 10 (10 forward gears ) TS (Tractor Series)

Reading good reviews about it, but I guess Allison went a bit higher with the % of fuel savings...

Does the TC10-TS skip gears or does it goes or shift from 1 to 10 everytime?

Some have sore eyes for the MACK MP-Series engines. Well I hope that when they buy a brand new MACK they buy it with no engine and then take the frame to Navistar and ask for a reliable Maxxforce 13 Advanc EGR engine. Maybe they will want a PACCAR PX (Cummins) or a Faketerpillar CT13 (Maxxforce 13)

At least MACK has cleared the bugs out of the MP-Series with the passing time. Lets work with the fact it is the engine we got to deal with and so far it is standing to be good when comparedt with Maxxforce, Cat or Paccar.

Will the ALLISON TC10-TS be available in any OTR MACK tractor? A friend of mine wants to buy some new trucks and I am pulling him to the MACK side of the story. Trucks will haul some tanker trailers hauling thick liquids and I think a tractor with an automatic transmission will be better for this kind of haul so I think MACK should add the ALLISON TC10TS to its transmision portfolio. He wants to look at Western-Star 4900 as well, but we got no Western Star dealer / shop in our área so it will be a trouble when problems arise.io

NICE JOB ,keep the vids coming.

spread the word, a MACK powered RACE TRUCK can hit the 10 second zone...

* Dumont now is the second fastest Drag Race Rig in the world after the Maksar Race Truck from Malta which ispowered by a 12 liter "VOLVO" TD120 diesel engine.

TAG PLATE on the engine.
