  1. where do you get that the paccar mx engine is great ? we talked to a peterbilt dealer and they said to not buy one because it wont hold up to heavy hauling. volvo engines are good motors just as good as any other motor, i seriously think you hAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST MACK. ?
  2. ive seen 6 titans besides the one we have. theres 2 of them operated by sessler construction those are blue . i think there from central ny. i saw a red one operated by casco bay heavy hauling .i think there out of maine.theres a white lowboy tractor ive seen around saratoga and lake george ny. continental paving has a orange one ive seen around manchester nh . then i saw a blue one hauling logs up the maiine turnpike . then theres ours . can you tell im a titan fan.
  3. 5000 miles .
  4. really must of been the CL tractor? we dont have any ch anymore. thanks i hope the titan keeps plugging along too
  5. weve had the titan for 3 weeks and no problems yet, the truck is everything it was supposed to be .
  6. it seems conservatives get in office and turn into liberals to make friends with the media and hollywood sad but true . actually if you go back and thank nixon for the epa and george h. w bush in 1989 or 90 for giving us the clean air act that set all this truck emmisions in motion. first computers then egr the diesel particulate filters and diesel exhaust fluid. but oboma has signrd and put in more epa regs on truck emmisions so reallly tyey all are no good. i will reluctantly vote romney ryan .
  7. also meritor makes awesome rearends. we have had several trucks with rockwell/meritor rears and the actually outlast the mack rears.
  8. hasnt mack rears been made by meritor/rockwell for a long time ? i knew mr scarbel would reply with his wealth of information . where did you get this knowlegde? i disagree on many of your opinions but i cant argue the facts. i like where mack is heading now i think they have a competive lineup of trucks . they only are missing the 125 bbc long haul truck . i think macks are over priced as well. i think the differance between mack and the the other truck makers that volvo bought like autocar,white, and gmc is that mack is still alive and kicking and doesnt have a stripe on the grill like the volvo autocars and volvo white gmc trucks had and its been 12 years since mac was sold.
  9. i have a nnew take on the volvo mack alliance. if you go back and look at volvo they have always wanted to be mack. they have had there own transmisssions and rearends in the past . and still have the mdrive. they make short nosed "east coast " style trucks. they almost are the european mack. just a thought. i bet i get hate letters but im just putting this out there as a thought of mine ive had for a long time .
  10. thats weird i have heard all good things about the titans from people .
  11. i dont see mack using a volvo cab any time soon . if you look at things now in the mack volvo world mack has the best products . we just took delivery of our new titan and let me say ive never seen a volvo or a peterbilt for that matter as well built as this truck is . it is a remarkable truck mr k
  12. i here that lol. we were on vacation last week in maine and i saw a titan with logs on it going up the maine turnpike . pretty cool to see more titans on the road now
  13. wow we can run 69k on a tri in vermont and i thought that was bad . in massachusetts we can run 77k plus 5% so its like 80k on a triaxle but we cant run pup trailers there which sucks
  14. do you know what year that was taken and where ? i think must be the mack factory in the early 70s ?
  15. yeah 84superdog our e7 have descent engine brakes compared to the e6 and e9
  16. we can only run 99k with 6 axles in vermont but we are only 20 miles from the ny border and we are permitted for 107k . its not worth putting the 7th axle on and getting 117k in ny because of vermonts strict 99k lb law. thanks it does look mean .
  17. it has a 555 hp mp10 maxidyne with a 18 speed fuller and rockwell rears on hendrickson springs. when i get one for me im gonna go all mack drive line
  18. he hauled the first load with it today but he likes it . hes still babying it . he said the powerleash engine brake is amazing . he went down a steep mtn hill here in vermont 3 gears higher than he did with his old 460 with a jake
  19. we got the titan all rigged i still dont know how to post pics though
  20. i love it
  21. there putting m drives in the 685 hp mp10 in australia so they must be pretty rugged
  22. looking for a 50s or 60s mack project truck. i like the big b model prime movers and LT SERIES. any suggetions where to look and how much is a good price for one
  23. alot of the guys running big petes and kws have them up here especially the canadians
