Have you guys checked out our new online store lately? I have just added a PDF catalog feature that allows you to print a hard copy of any store category! You can also create a wish list that stays saved in your account! It allows you to find items fast and place orders when you are ready! The store also emails you tracking number updates when your order is shipped! There are also several useful tools on your account page such as gift card info and such! Be sure to visit the store and create a FREE account if you haven't already! http://www.wattstruckcenter.com/store/ If you want to order online but the item you need is not listed, let me know! If it is available, I can add it to the online inventory!

It's hard to say what issues may arise with IE...especially IE11! We have to block all IE11 updates at work because Mack's web applications as well as our in house inventory applications will not run on IE11! BMT is completely up to date and supported by Invision Power boards so we aren't running any old, out of date software or anything. I just think IE doesn't like to play well with others! LOL!

I do agree...I'd rather see the logo stay the same! Keep it iconic!

The way I see it, the logo design and video are mediocre...not much creativity involved but that is the norm these days with any company! Young minds are taking over and they just are not as creative or skilled as the work force used to be! With that said, I certainly see the need for change and updates. A company needs to stay fresh and competitive. New logos will always come and go, no big deal! Mack is fortunate to have such a rich, well reserved history and we will always have that to look back to. No one knows what the future will bring but we all know where the past has been. I know that there are a lot of Volvo haters and that is fine, but there has to come a point where we understand that Mack would probably not be here today if not for Volvo's support. We don't have to like it but I do wish everyone would realize that Volvo isn't the worst thing to ever happen to Mack. (Did everyone forget about Renault...LOL?) Seriously people, I do get a ton of reports about negativity and it is starting to get old. I will never censor comments but I would like to encourage everyone to try and curb the negativity and help lighten up the forums! We all know how deep the feelings run and it is a good thing but there really isn't a reason to keep displaying the hostility on these forum pages. I myself am glad that Volvo is investing in the Mack Brand and hasn't wanted to just 'kill' it off. The best thing we can do on BMT is show support for Mack! That is what Volvo is looking for. The negativity that oozes from here does nothing but hurt the Mack brand and tarnish ties with the mother ship. Remember, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar!

As far as I can gather, this is the new Mack Brand Logo... Here is the Mack Brand Book in pdf that they released on March 4th, 2014... http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/assets/MackBrandBook.pdf ...and the video:

This is complete speculation/rumor...but I think the news may be a new corporate logo! Maybe even a change to the Bulldog hood ornament. No joke, just sayin'

News to me...I haven't heard anything!

Thanks! We are hoping for an even better show this year. Hoping for beautiful weather to seal the deal!

Mark you calendars!! Watt's Truck Center and BigMackTrucks.com's 7th Annual Truck and Equipment Show will be held on August 2nd, 2014 at the New Alexandria Lions Club Demo Derby Grounds at the intersection of Route 22 and Route 119 South in New Alexandria, PA 15670. The event is open to all makes, models and years of trucks, classic cars, pickups, tractors and equipment of all kinds! Registration and admission are FREE! Visit www.WattsTruckCenter.com for more info or call 1-888-304-6225. If you only go to a few shows per year, this is one you don't want to miss! More info coming soon!

I don't know how this all started but I can say that I don't have time to sit down figure this mess out. What I do know is that I hope everyone works out their differences before I have to start issuing forum bans! I have removed Rob from Moderator mainly because of absence and now because of the vested interest issues outlined above. For years, BMT has grown to be a community of like minded Mack Truck Fans but lately, I have been seeing a lot of hostility, sarcasm and down right rudeness. The rules designed to protect the forums from trolling are already in place so we will start using them to weed out all those involved in trolling and instigation of the forum from here on out!

Yep, Chat should be good to go!

I can't detect anything wrong with the chat but there is no one in there for me to chat to either..LOL!

If anyone is looking for a great last minute gift idea for a Mack Truck Fan...check out our Gift Vouchers! You can purchase a voucher in any amount and send it to someone via email instantly! https://www.wattstruckcenter.com/store/index.php?route=account/voucher Merry Christmas!

The shirts are now up on the online store! http://www.wattstruckcenter.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=63_86&product_id=52

We are proud to announce that our new online shopping store is up and running! We are still adding new items daily but you can start ordering what you need now and please check back regularly for new parts and merchandise! Christmas Shopping? We also have electronic gift vouchers available as well as in store gift cards for those 'hard to buy for' Mack Fans! Be sure to check the new shopping site out at: www.wattstruckcenter.com/store

Joe, I checked all my sources on the bumper extensions and cannot find anything available to purchase. The part numbers are: 3QL4351 and 3QL4352 (or 3QL4332) Best bet is to see if a BMT member happens to have some used parts sitting around.

I haven't been able to upload the shirt to the store but they are in stock right now! If you can, just give us a call to place your order! 1-888-304-6225 Thanks for the great comments!

We will be there with our tent full of goodies! See y'all Saturday!
