macks in nigeria

I saw those small engines years ago in some Trucks here and thought it was someone's creativity as transplanting engines was a common practice here,till date most single axle Rs are running with MAN rear axles.

The grudge between the scandinavian trucks and Mack started a couple of decades ago.

Thanks for the lesson,always thought Renault sold to Volvo and remained independent without realizing they were acquired too.Has the Renault brand lost as much identity as Mack?

Hello all, I have a 1983 Mack superliner with factory Neway air ride suspension.  Ithe is a single Frame and I believe it has 38,000 rears.  It does not have a power divider with the switch.  I recently put a t2180 transmission is this truck and just got it back on the road and now I am hearing a sound from the front rear.  It sounds like a big heavy flat washer dropping from my hand to the ground.  It does this sound multiple times in 100 yards.  The truck is not skipping a beat and after pulling the side cover off there does not appear to be any teeth missing or damage.  Fluid was super clean and no shavings or steel dust at all.  All my rearend shops are telling me the rearends blown and they also can't look at it for 7-10 days.  That's a lot of revenue to lose with it just sitting.  I can also tell you since this noise started a week or so ago, as he ran the truck it has gotten more frequent and louder also.  Any help or suggestion would be very helpful!  Please let me know.   

This was where your problem really started,when you drive a truck  and hear any usual sound you attend to it immediately and not continue driving the truck in the hope that the sound will disappear.The time you didn't want to spare you are losing now in addition to some serious $$$$$.Goodluck.

I thought Renault came in first.

How exactly did the Mack brand fall into the hands of europeans?were there no truck makers in America that were interested orcouldn't pay for it.I am sure this question must have been answered before by KSCarbel but just cant find it.

KS: Don't forget we are waiting for your book on Mack. May be you and John could collude. Vlad I hope things keep getting better and better in your homeland. The left in our country is trying to do the same thing in our country that the Bolshevics did in yours in 1917. Instead of using guns and bullets they are using corrupt anti American politicians. (Socialists, Democrats, Progressives , Communists and Rhinos. Instead of bullets they use corrupt laws to strip us of freedoms. Hopefully Trump can pull the plug on the swamp.

That book will be well received.

Even my other half would have something nice to say about old Macks after seeing this  and just might begin to listen to the gospel I have been preaching for the last 20 odd years.

Holy cow.Astonishing and unbelievable.

By beauties.

I thought Iveco makes only COE Trucks.

Was also wondering if he would take up projects like that doing working trucks for interested persons.

Where I am sitting $5 would get you 12, 65cl ice cold bottles of Heineken.
