Ok guys, thanks ill try them.

Hey guys, im back-

Were getting ready to put strobe lights in the headlights and tail lights of our CH. Any ideas of where to find them online?

Thanks, Ben-- keep the tires on the tar

I cannot say about B's because I cannot remeber what that was like, but the way the R I used the other had and our CH, nither one had much black smoke. The later model Macks seem to be very clean.

What was the reason of the offset cab, and from when to when were these made?

Thanks, Ben

(just tryin to learn everything I can)

yea, we have done that but Idon't think I ever checked on it the next day. I will have to try that next time we have it on the road and see what happens.

Thank you,

Ben

Hi, we have a CH-612 overnight the air pressure will drop from operating pressure down to below 60 pounds, I know that the air switch on the gear shift (Eaton-Fuller 9 Speed) leaks, you can hear it in the cab, will this bring it down that low overnight or is there something else?

Thanks, Ben

is it just a close up and down when you first start the truck, or is it a broad up and down all the time?

Whoa, that was way outdated, I'm sorry.

If its a CH then its a CH, if it was a pinnacle CH it would be a CHU. The pinnacle name is now applied to both the Vision (pinnacle) and CH axle foward. I have to be blunt and say that this naming sceme is just plain retarded. Why on earth would they call two different trucks the same name? Its like calling an apple and an orange a carrot or a red carrot. Just plain dumb and confusing. No reason to rename the Vision to the Pinnacle because the Vision didnt go through any major visual change to warrent a new name. Sure its a new chassis/engine and interior but it still looks the same.

The Granite is the pseudo replacement for the RD/DM model and is geared toward vocational use but I have seen them pulling van trailers. The Pinnacle is the new MP7/8 powered Vision or CXU. The Pinnacle axle-foward is the Axle foward CH with the CHU designation. They should have left the Vision name alone and given the CH a name like Valuliner or Fleetliner like they did in Australia.

Ok, thanks, I didn;t know if the was like a sub model or something, that clears it up

Ever since my uncle bought his mack CH612 I have wondered what model this truch is. Meaning pinacle, granite, etc. The truck is an ex-horse, daycab dumptruck.
