I think Roger Penske used the same philosophy as those guys in Peoria , went out on top and let someone else have the headaches to come.  Not sure I could fault the guy for that.

I told my wife that Kamalatoe would be President in 2022..  I wonder how far off I WILL,, be??  

With any luck... really far. God help us

Hall Scott is pretty big (one of that model anyway)  I've only ever saw one in real life.  It was big ,  sorta like big bore Cat in some respects.  An impressive looking engine somewhat like it was ahead of it's time or something.  I bet as far as length , an E7 would fit where the Hall Scott would.

Thanks Bob.

Guard dog and everything....... that is classified 

OD, you don't by any chance want to adopt me.   

Bottom line..... cold needs rich fuel mixture.  So if after a turbo the air doesn't get exposed to ambient temp, it's theoretically warmer. (think poor man's glo plug)  and then Mack had all sorts of ways to interrupt the rack's amount of travel in mechanically governed engines. ( be it to start or on the old extended range transmission models )  Old extended range transmissions with crazy low gears , nothing rearward of them could withstand as much torque multiplication as all that gearing could supply let alone any torque from the engine too .  Now ????   all this can be actuated at the speed of light with an ECM.  

There was a Titan at the local dealership here years back. It had planetaries . I remember it had aluminum 9 inch wheels and 315s ( some special wheels ) I remember the end was planetary but not like the giant ones I'd seen in Canada that had way bigger ends.  That particular truck also had an Allison with a 4 way behind it.  Used for moving windmill blades. 

See ??  That's in case anyone ever wondered what goes through a truck driver's mind during the day 

Maybe when Zina's spray'n you with the flex seal you can talk her into dress'n up like that nurse from Ferris Bueller"s Day Off

I believe they had a farm or something up here around Mt Cobb. Then the brothers spread out after that.  I forget which one, but one stayed around Scranton and was involved in producing Macars ( that might be spelled wrong )  They were a short lived brand of truck made in Scranton.

Those old ones if needed you can mill a few thousands off the main caps if it was to be line bored if you're swapping crankshafts around.  (lol) and I'm a firm believer in the old wive's tale about only cutting one throw or journal .

That arsehole got his schooling at Desales University, about 3 miles from my house........😐

Maybe now would be a good time to remind everyone The Mack Brothers came from North East Pa.     (at least one good thing)

Best to indicate the bell housing you put back on it.  

If it didn't run (or attempt to) on starting fluid, you likely didn't spray enough in.....so best to forget about the starting fluid. Nothing is goin to be proved by running it on starting fluid that you don't already know.  

I'd have thought they'd have a magneto

I've only seen one of those in real life. It wasn't running and I doubt it would when I saw it. They were something. 

You guys don't fool me for a second.  They're your plugs for EVs.
