    Can't say I blame you Storkmack. Mack and White burned their bridges and Paccar moved in. Pacaar Daimler and IH are all that's left. Volvo kills Mack by keeping them on a tight leash.

    T-Line may have the rights to a Diamond Reo look a like. They build a custom truck, Diamond Reo looking Cummins engine Allison & Eaton transmissions & rears, Hendrickson suspensions. They have a web site. T-line Whitman chassis. They build gliders also. Looks like it may be an opportunity to stick an E-7/E9 into a glider.

    It appears that Western Star and KW have kicked Mack to the curb heavy and extra heavy haul applications.

    Need the down under Mack lineup in the US.

    That's the one. Saw a dump set up on U tube like that. Would make a nice heavy haul tractor if Volvo allowed Mack to have a big six or V8.

    Anybody ever hear of the Super Granite GU-813. I think they are used in Canada and they have Simard suspension. They have 55 and 65 ton hauling capacity using tri drive and have dual front steering axles.

    What are the pros and cons of CNG vs LNG. How high do you have to pressurize the CNG? Does LNG have to be constantly cooled. Seems like LNG would give you much grater range.

    When are these liberal yahoos going to pass legislation concerning wild fire pollution.

    Not to mention a great torque booster for hills. Looks like IH may be getting some new engine inputs from the Eropeons. What are the Ameirican automotive engineers doing. Not much perhaps?

    Looks like Freightliner is kicking Mack to the curb

    Thanks Maxi! But they still don't have to make them fall on their face ugly.

    What is with this europeon design that makes the cabs look like they are going to fall on their face. Ugly IMO. I agree with TS7, get out of Turkey. They have Iranian caliphate intensions

    Was the original maxidyne block a 673 block? It seems the 711/707 block was never followed up on.

    Can you heavy spec a Mack CH (pinnacle) to match that of a Granite.

    I like the H62X. There is a good video on you tube. Let furniture and real estate people keep to their line of business expertise and let automotive people run the auto and truck industry. Thank you very much.

    I see that the EN 707 gasser and the END-673 had almost identical torque (around 600 ft lb. This would indicate that the two engines had the same stroke and bore. Was the block the same for both engines. The 707 must have been a beast of a gasser. Its life was short lived as it came on the scene to late as diesels such as the 673 were coming on line at the time. I believe IH's biggest gasser was the 501. How did Mack's EN 540 flat head stack up against the big White flat heads. Those Whites had a great sound. I am retired now and I have nothing better to do than think up nostalgia from the past.

    Since the customer pays the bills. I still can't see why you can't order a Mack from the factory without a drive train. What is the big stumbling block. It would move right on down the line with the frame resting on dollies. No disruption in my way of thinking. Has anyone ever tried it.
  18. james j neiweem
    Sell for parts if you can find any.
  19. james j neiweem
    The best looking cab over IMHO. Shame they re coming to an end. What will be there COE replacement.

    Fossil fuel is sill required to charge the batteries. Though the electric grid is all tied together generally speaking most local grid power is produced locally due to line losses.
  21. james j neiweem
    Might help if Volvo would let mack use Cummins.
  22. james j neiweem
    Storkmack:I thought I read somewhere on here that you are done with the new Macks. Was that right?
  23. james j neiweem
    Can anyone say pre emissions E-6, E7 E9. Volvo and their injector cups are pathetic. Best of luck.

    I grew up in Illinois during the 50's and 60's. Hendrickson's seemed to be almost as popular as Mack's in the construction business.

    Thank the Loony left.
