MACK MP-SERIES vs VOLVO D-SERIES

Hummmm ??? Other than COLOR, it has been explained that they are different in some other aspects such as programming, engine horsepower and torque ratings and parameters, they spin in opposite direction, MACK MP-SERIES are getting great reviews while Volvo D-Series are getting issues and complains.

It is the engine MACK has for now because MACK is tied to VOLVO. Could a group of AMERICAN investors be interested on taking MACK away from VOLVO and put BIG MONEY onto making MACK what it was before the merger with VOLVO? How much capital will be needed to bring back an ALL MACK diesel engine, chassis, AMT, drive train components etc????

MP-Series are getting positive words on each Trucking Forum I read, while its fraternal twin the Volvo D-Series receives more negative vibes. Do the MP-Series perform better than the ASET AC / ASET AI engines?

Same goes to the MACK M-Drive getting positive words when compared to EATON'S Ultra-Shift.

Should MACK build a complete AUTOMATIC transmission and get rid of ALLISON AUTOMATICS from the product line?

I wonder how a MACK Pinnacle tractor will do with ALLISON'S new TC10-TS tractor series automatic transmision.....

Freightliner Crapscadia and International PopStar are JUNK.

FORD LTL-9000 AND LS-9000 AEROMAX AND CL-9000 CABOVER, ALL OF THEM WITH CATERPILLAR DIESEL POWER (3406 CAT)

GMC BRIGADIER WITH DETROIT DIESEL 6-71 NON TURBO.

THOSE WILL DO....

i think the granite would sell for guys that like outside air cleaners. but yeah the pinnacle needs a extended hood version and mp10 and call it superliner but thatll never happen.

I was thinking about the same idea....

AMEN !!!!

I have driven a few M-drives and they are real smooth nothing like the eaton autoshifts way differant , allison is still king of vocational market and they are coming out with a new trans that will be a cross between the auto/manual trans so I have herd....

That one will be the ALLISON TC10-TS automatic that will be available on TRACTOR TRUCKS (hence the "TS" designation, it goes for TRACTOR SERIES. It is a TWIN COUNTERSHAFT unit with TORQUE CONVERTER (hence the "TC" designation) 10 Speed AUTOMATIC for tractor trucks.

"The new Allison TC10 TS is ideal for distribution applications where a tractor-trailer splits its work cycle between city and highway conditions. The full-power shifts bring productivity and fuel efficiency to stop-and-go portions of a route, while the 10-speed-countershaft architecture offers fuel economy while cruising".

The MACK TRUCK brand is stronger than ever here in Puerto Rico, the MACK R-Series is making a come-back to the work field due to its durability and reliability.

And in the modern truck segment... The new era in trucks, belongs to MACK.

More MACK TRUCKS from other Truck Shows and Activities

Yes there are a few Superliners.....

Got many more pictures from Truck Shows in 2009, 2010 and 2011...If you want to see them just let me know.

Love the pictures do you have any more 2 valve engine pics Iam very interested in the setups they are running twin turbos sizes internals of engine etc anything you have would be awsome. transmissions too.

Engines used. E6-237. E-6 250. E-6 285. 2 valve heads. Soon one will be modified with a 4 valve head.

Compound Turbochargers.

Nitrous dosed.

On engine internals I think they run stock pieces.. Was thinking about up-fitting a MACK E-7 engine block with some MACK E-7 industrial or marine engine internals.

I do not know much about their set-ups they keep that confidential. I am encouraging them to move to the MACK E-9 V8 power

With Macks like that, who needs Paccar products?

Never needed anything from PACCAR. I do not like Petes....thats all.

Thanks guys for liking my pictures. I weared my BUILT LIKE A MACK TRUCK T-shirt for this event. I am trully happy that the MACK brand is making a strong come-back. MACK is going to dominate the tractor truck segment due to some facts that benefit the MACK TRUCKS brand. Nobody wants to deal with International maxxforce advanced egr powered trucks, they are a proven fail. Paccar products have no more Caterpillar for diesel power and their new Paccar (Cummins) have not being embraced yet by Paccar customers, and the fact their trucks have a higher prace tag. Caterpillar and Detroit Diesel have a not so good service. Drivers of trucks are realizing that they do not need a mondo-big 16 liter diesel engine to do a common job where there are now MACK 13 liter MP-8 engines with good power and gives better fuel economy.

Our MACK TRUCKS dealer M.A CARIBBEAN is very supportive.

You can take some ideas to customize your trucks, a MACK TRUCK will always look good for me

Did anybody else notice the GMC General with the pipe hanging out the side of the hood in post #27, looks like an air scoop on top of the hood too!

That GMC GENERAL is a Race Truck that competes at the MODIFIED STREET TRUCK. It is the fastest TANDEM AXLE race truck here in PUERTO RICO with 15.2 seconds at 1/4 mile. Powered by a CUMMINS DIESEL.

I almost forgot these...

Powered by a MACK E-6 (237) this FORD L-Series ran a best time of 14.8 seconds on 1/4 mile. No nitrous inyected.
