    Volvo only aquired Mack to gain market share,and to crack Mack's almost exclusive monopoly of the refuse business.As far as an earlier post saying "give the Granite a chance",I don't know.Since I started repairing trucks,I always gravitated towards Mack,but since around the late '90's,I have lost faith.I'm seeing problems that never were heard of in Macks.Not just electronic gremlins,I mean big blow-ups,turbos,Camshafts....Deja Vu,dropped valves,noisy/slacky,hard shifting transmissions,bull gears and ring and pinions with poor hardness,the unit pump E-7's are always on the hook.Sad to see,but the way it is.I long for the T-676/X-107 days again

    I set up an early 491 Sheppard gear in my B-42,along with the 522 front axle.Some of the later B-61SX's came with them.It makes for nice 1 finger steering,however the single belt P/S pump doesn't cut it though.

    And I was sniveling about $128.00 per side in 1992 when I bought mine,thought I got raked over the coals.
