Mack big power for Canada
41180 replied to james j neiweem's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
A granite can be specced out for severe duty , triple frame heavy planetary rearends. , no steel hood or 15-16 liter engine. In reality a mp8 with super low gear ratio 7.00 or lower could pull just about any load. -
I was told by a long time western star salesmen that yes the old cab is going away . He said no replacement for the 4900ex hood is in the cards.

Cummins X15 Powered Mack Trident Trial..
41180 replied to Hayseed's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Interesting. I heard volvo has placed a good truck man from australia at the helm of the MACK northeast united states region . Dean Bestwick former Mack Trucks Australia vice president of sales and marketing is becoming the northeast regional VP based out of mack corporate head quarters. They say he's a real Truck man and Mack enthusiast that used to drive road trains in Australia. -
Same with the autocar conventional,none to be had

Maybe GM could do another joint venture with navistar and make a scout/ real blazer together -
Most of the mack plow trucks i know in municipalities and state trucks have mp7 and even mp8 . Alot of towns are getting high hp motors now. Our town has a freightliner with a dd13 470hp. I know another town that has a western star with a 505 dd13 . My couzin used to drive a mack granite plow truck with a 405 mp7.

Diesel cylinder deactivation achieved in Cummins X15
41180 replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
Our mp 10 engine brakes are as strong as our cummins x15's. well tbe mp 10 actually hold back better in the low rpm and will bring you to complete stop almost with out using the air brakes . The cummins work a tad better in the higher rpm but cut out in the lower rpm . Our titans all have original brake shoes and drums , and all of them have over 300k miles loaded heavy all the time. -
Cummins Top Overall Supplier of Class 8 Engines in 2019
41180 replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
Mack should find a way to stuff x15 in the anthem pinnacle and granite and offer the x12 as well . I think cummins has the best performing engines right now. Im not a cummins man by any stretch but they seem to be doing good -
Yeah ballard is the best mack dealer in new england or atleast they were , because they only sell mack .thats where we bought our titans . 25 yrs ago the other new england mack dealers wanted to sell us western star.
