    They missed the whole era of DCF's DCO,s and Emeryvilles. They also have Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth and Mack episodes. I hope they make one on other manufacturers such as White, Ford, GM, Reo, DT and Hendrickson.

    Tell it like it is Mackattack. There are very few 505's in the trailer dump and heavy haul markets as far as I can see. The Boston area may be an exception.

    Looks like a learning curve in the process of building a truck from the ground up. Seems like it might be a throwback to a time when trucks were simple and reliable without all the bells and whistles. The fact that they are offering gliders may throw a few customers their way by using pre emissions engines.

    Front discharge mixer history was conceived in the USA. Sims from wisconsin invented the front discharge mixer and called it Riteway and he sold it to savage. Savage was bought out by Mack and Volvo dropped the Savage mixer from the Mack lineup. Sims later sold the rights to Advance. Advance was bought out by Terex and is now Terex Advance and they still make front discharge mixers. Oshkosh still makes front discharge mixers. Kimble still makes front discharge mixers. From what I can gather.

    Some bad ass looking trucks for sure. Love the 9500 style SB's.the most. I wonder if there are any still around. Might be worth importing for someone.

    Loved those wide grills. GM along with Penske did the US a disservice by selling out to Volvo and Daimler. White wasn't at fault other than White management over extending themselves leading the company into bankruptcy. Mack and White should have followed the Paccar model slow and easy one step at a time. I wonder if yellow still has any Brigadiers left. Mack U's , Brigadiers , L 9000's and White 9000's were great competitors back in the day.

    Their good for keeping Mack in a straight jacket and ball less. Mack engineer at a board meeting.- Lets make Mack great again by bringing back the Super Liner, offering the Cummins X12 and x15, getting back into heavy haul, and a new class seven. Volvo management-If you want to keep your job and pension - Shut the F--k up. Next question. Volvo engineer-I have a great idea to get Mack market share even lower-drop all Mack legacy components and shorten the hoods so that only the MP7 fits in. Volvo management- Sounds good I'll bring that up at the next board meeting

    Thanks for posting. What a fleet.

    Rebuilding old Mack trucks seems like a win win. To bad so many have been shipped abroad.

    No sense taking something apart that's useless to begin with.

    Yes I was inquiring about the chassis mounted set up that came out with the E-6 350 hp. (Econodyne perhaps) Was the chassis mounted set up also available for the E-7. I may be wrong that this chassis mounted set up started with the E-6. How long of a run did the chassis mounted air to air system have. What replaced it? Seemed to be a good idea at the time.

    Mack had the charge air to air induction system on the E-6 350. When did they stop producing this. What replaced it . Was it ever offered on the E-7. Was the Charge air system offered on R-models. I know I have seen it on Superliners and Cruiseliners.

    You tube video states that Fitzgeralds Glider states that Gliders from Freightliner and Paccar factories are no more as of 6-29-19.

    Should be a more popular combination.

    May bee Putin can find a nice rock in Siberia for him. Or China a good coal miner job.

    Stork Mack: Do you have any pictures of the IH's. How do you like them.

    Roger Penske did not do this country any favors by selling Detroit Diesel to Germany.as well as Consolidated Freightways selling Freightliner to Germany or Mack selling Mack to France.
  22. james j neiweem
    I wonder why they didn't bring the Hayward designs back to Macungie?

    Bigrig: Have you heard any updates about big bore for Mack in Canada?
  24. james j neiweem
    A big bore Mack would make them competitive in low boy/heavy haul, logging, trailer dumps as well as all the spill over effects such construction dumps etc. It's easy enough to correct Volvo just won't do it. Mack and their former board of directors only have themselves to blame for letting the Europeans (Renault/ Volvo) get their foot in the door. Well they said, its for the good of the shareholders. How is that Mack stock working out for you now? Ditto for the White Motor corporation killed by Volvo and GM.
  25. james j neiweem
    Hey Volvo bring them over here. Put on your big boy pants, swallow your pride and get to it. Or are you trying to kill the American Dog?
