Yes We did stop and make a donation tom the state liquor store. My daughter lives in NH. Thought about moving there but housing prices are crazy in Stratford County.

Oh random for sure. Another thing I noticed is that for all of the talk about aero trucks and the big hood conventionals disappearing, there are still tons of W 900 KW's and long nose Petes out there along with some Freightliners, Stars and Macks.

I remember a lot of orange R's with red fenders in that area hauling bulk trailers. Might have been a different company though.

Saw several triaxle dump trailers and tankers trailers. All with big power Pete's KW's and Stars. Saw several new Pinnacle tractors- none with tri axle trailers. Saw Anthems for NFI, UPS and Central Freight. According to a post I saw on Facebook, Central has about 800 Anthems now.

While the funds flow to the illegals. Soon to be in a town near you.

The communists and globalist's push the agendas(21 and 30). Biden is just the pen man. He can easily be replaced by another pen man or woman. Trump is our only last chance.

Sounds like a good retirement assignment for the old COE dog. Aluminum cab is a plus. As stated previously, probably a 237 hooked to a 5 speed. Plenty of power for that assignment.

Seems as though a D-17 would work in Canada and Western USA! Is the D16 going to be replaced by the D17? I would guess so. D17 is probably a D16 with upgrades.

Too bad all the Canadian plants are gone. Hayes, Pacific and Mack

The sad point is that you can get big bore engines in IH (Traton VW), Freightliner (Daimler), Western Star (Daimler), KW (Paccar), Peterbilt (Paccar), and Volvo. The only hold out (Black sheep) is Mack putting it at a disadvantage in several markets. Maybe something akin to the Mack modification center could address this or an after market provider. All it takes is some hood cowl and bracket modifications. Cummins provides the proper truck manufacturer bracketry for all their engines in the different makes and models. Mack should also make available the x-13. No long hood needed there. However the M drive might be a problem. I wonder if Cummins in Volvos can use I shift.

Hopefully the new Mack coming will have room enough for big bore engines and cooling systems!

Hey Volvo. How about making Mack Great Again. Drop the Pinnacle and bring back the Superliner with big power option! Paccar has no competition. Volvo you could make a killing.

Is Arute still around. They used to have a yard in Cromwell

The last years of those DM's, RD's and Rb's can be hidden gems as you know Ed.

Freightliner is set to launch a pick up. No photos yet. A classic style would be nice. Mack should make an R model pickup. I would sign up. Then again maybe not if the price is anything like an MD.

What ever happened to that upstart truck company called Diamond from about ten years ago.I think they had another name also. T brand maybe.

So UPS is buying some new Macks! Anthems I suppose. How many?

Mack could only dream about making such a truck!

See Heavy Duty Trucking Magazine for the new 3 plus million dollar rennovations to the Mack Experience Center in Allentown PA. Includes display upgrades with emphasis on Mack MD, Anthem and MR/LE cabovers. Test track upgrades are also mentioned.🙂

Nice! Interesting exhaust manifold.

I forgot my password on JOT. I hit the reset password and I never have gotten a response in over two years.

Volvo bought Terex's off road. Terex an American company still owns Advance mixers from what I can gather.

So who owns Terex now America or Europe?

Volvo owns Terex off road machinery( now called Rokpac I believe). But I am not sure if they own Advance concrete mixer trucks built in Indiana. Hard to keep track of all of this heavy machinery ownership.😀

How was the B421 and 422 different from the B42?
