New ones look great, but I'll stand in line for the old R model!
Might have to take a vacation to PR to do some Mack reconnaissance.
Best time to come is on APRIL or NOVEMBER which are the 2 months the TRUCK SHOW and DIESEL NATIONALS are held at SALINAS INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY here in the town of SALINAS, PUERTO RICO.
-
and that's it?? we want more...
more to come in a few minutes.
-
Are there any DM800s or RD800s left in PR?
Yes there still some DM800s and RD800 still working hard !!!

MACK R-Series or R-Model trucks still going strong here in PUERTO RICO, Most of them put back to service after complications owners had with lesser modern junk trucks such as International, Freightliner and Paccar.

Hello to all of you here at BMT.
Here are some photos for our last truck show, held on 11-24-2013.
First of all it was a great day for MACK DIESEL POWER as a MACK DIESEL powered race truck prowled the 1/4 race track with 3 MACKNIFICENT times. First a 11.00 at 124 mph, another 11.00 at 124 mph and the last run a record setting 10.87 at over 130 mph.
DUMONT TRANSPORT a race-built truck for the FUNNY TRUCK class is the fastest drag race MACK truck in the World and now the fastest diesel powered race truck here in PUERTO RICO.
Modified Street Truck class saw the MACK R-Model with a customized hood from Paito's Trucking Inc set a new record for a Street Truck with 13.70 seconds on a 1/4 mile race track.
Old MACK R-Model.

MACK engines have potential
We have MACK race trucks here that run 10 seconds (fully built racer ) and 13 seconds (modified street truck)

I do like the RD II hood.
I have seen older R, RD truck hoods fitted with RD II headlights.
funny fact is that same kind of headlights used on the RD II where used on some VOLVO trucks of the time...
-
I wonder why MACK didn't do the same for the DM-SERIES, the DM-LEGEND, after all DM Series trucks with their off-set cab where side by side with the R-Series in many vocational applications

The new MACK TRUCKS are working great, no issues at all and the SCR System and DEF additive have worked great.
This is a friend's (me posing) truck with MP-8 505 a MAXITORQUE 13 Speed and Mack carriers. He likes the power of the truck and the FUEL ECONOMY.
Of all the modern diesel engines the MACK MP-Series is the one that is working with no mayor issues at all.
International cheap built in MEXICO trucks are a sorry ass excuse for a truck, INTERNATIONAL are JUNK, MAXXFORCE engines are garbage junk.
Where is the MAXXFORCE 15? Dead at birth. Want a new CATERPILLAR diesel engine? Get your ticket for a "CAT YELLOW" painted MAXXFORCE ADVANCED EGR piece of junk.
Come to our NAVITRASH dealer so you can see the piles and piles of INTERNATIONAL cheap built in MEXICO trucks at the service station. One of our MAXXFORCE 9 engines just craked a "compacted graphite" engine block due to coolant pouring inside one of the cylinders due to a cracked cooled egr valve. TOTAL REPAIR COST $8,000+.
I rather have a MACK over any INTERNATIONAL POP-STAR or FREIGHTLINER CRAPSCADIA.
Everyone is liking the new MACK trucks with GOLDEN BULLDOG. MP-8 505 and MAXITORQUE.
MACK TRUCKS still puts on their web-page all available transmissions for the MACK PINNACLE tractor and MAXITORQUE remain there. Is up to the customer who wants to buy a new truck to spec'd it right and do not let any "sales-genius" change its mind.
On the "Automated-Manual" issue.... "It is O.K for MACK to have Eaton-Ultrashift but it is a SIN to have the M-Drive" ????

Nice pair of MACK TRUCKS.
A MACK PINNACLE work truck and a MACK racer.
* Mack Race Truck is powered by a Detroit Diesel 8V-92 engine but unreliability issues with the engine has its owner thinking about using another engine and I told him to put a modified MACK E-9 V8 on it because MACK E-9 V8 can make tons of horsepower with no need for NITROUS OXIDE.

It sure is fast for a MODIFIED STREET TRUCK and this one does not cut corners when keeping it up to MODIFIED STREET TRUCK class rules. It is a complete truck with all its components (even the 5th wheel)
Now I want to teach some other MACK racer the benefits of the MACK E9 V8 modified diesel engine.
-
a little MACK EM-6 285 is giving the Detroits a run for their money.
Now I need all the help I can get in order to help another MACK Racer with the MODS for a MACK E-9 V8 Race Engine....
I know there are some Cylinder Head MODS that have to be done on E-9 cylinder heads .....

Paito's Trucking.
This is a Modified Street Truck which is purpose built for Drag Races. It can be driven on the street also, and maybe used to do some work.
Powered by a MACK EM-6 diesel engine that had a factory rating of 285 HP, this Modified Race Truck set the record for a heavy street truck modified for drag races. With a 13.79 seconds pass on the 1/4 mile race track at 101 MPH.

This is the only one I cought with the hood open. Any other one I miss it. Race-Track is so huge (about 1/2 mile long ) I got many problems with the equipment on that day and the scorching 101 degree temperature got me on the grand-stands watching the races. There were some modern MP-8 powered MACKS with hoods open but I got no chance of taking pictures of them MP-8 engines... I do check the engine block for some detailed info...
-
boy, those paint schemes of the older trucks are awesome...
kinda makes me custom a new truck in that paint fashion..

They get them so clean by washing them each week and basically clean them at every chance they had. It also helps that our weather has been on a drought with virtually no rain since October but heavy rain season started yesterday.
-
Sure is nice to see all those shiny MACK trucks with all that "bling", but the ones like the most were those simpler MACK DM concrete mixers. And is great to hear positive feedback about the modern MACK trucks and the MP8 505 HP engine with MACKMaxitorque. Mack
