    You would expect the Kenworth dealer would spec the truck for what he wants.

    A model Mack's like they had the same cab as White coupe cabs.

    This may be the beginning of the end for Mack MR/LE

    Looks nicer with the short hood. If they can stuff an x15 into that they should be able to stuff one in a Granite or Pinnacle (CH)

    Sweet Superdog. Nice trailer also.

    A Granite heavy haul option would be nice along with the Cummins 600 HP. The Mack Anthem followed the Volvo VNL upgrade by about six months. May bee the same will happen with a heavy haul Granite. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though.

    Black dog. I'm from Ct also. Looks like you have a nice stable of dogs. I've seen the new Palumbo CH on their website. Waiting to see the new Granites for Gateway. Too bad Manafort is going with KW and Herb Holden with Volvo. American Industries has about 50 Granites. Seems like O&G and Tilcon are lost Paccar causes. Saw a bunch of red Mack granites on I95 around Waterford the other day. May have been Red Coaches.

    I believe the bottom line is Mack is a side show in the arrogant Volvo mind set. They don't want to make Mack competitive with Volvo because Mack would kill them in sales. Too bad they can't seem to follow the Paccar model and let the two models compete fairly as in KW and Pete. Paccar creates an environment where both models can thrive.

    Another slap in the face for Mack!

    Serie is an interesting character with you tube videos about heavy hauling with his 2016 Mack Pinnacle with an MP-8. Well don't you know that he has traded the Pinnacle in for a 2019 KW T-880 with a Cummins 605 HP 2050 ft-ib of torque X15. He liked the Mack but it just didn't have enough balls. As Gomer Pyle would say " Golly saergent, would you imagine that". Thanks Volvo another heavy haul customer down the drain.

    They look like they are ready to fall on their face

    Its a dam shame Penske sold Detroit.

    Logtruckman: Do they sell many Mack log trucks out east anymore. Seems like Granites are limited to roll offs and dumps around Ct. Not many tractors or loggers

    Were A models lighter than L models. Were they predesesers to the L

    57 BCR: I wonder if you or anyone from Northern ILL remembers a tank truck outfit that used to travel through Wheeling Illinois in the late 50's or early 60's. I think it was called Rogers tank lines. They ran LJ's with twin tank trailers. I believe they hauled petro products. Used to spy them along with Celli and Meyer Macks while waiting for the bus.

    Mack's refuse market is dying
  17. james j neiweem
    Volvo letting China in the door is kind of like the last straw. May be this is karma for Mack when they were willing to build a factory in the Soviet Union during the cold war.

    Not your grandfathers simple flathead ford.
  19. james j neiweem
    Super dogs should have had the Louisville cab.
  20. james j neiweem
    Do they make the Twin -Y in different weight ratings. As simple as the system seems to be it would only require thicker metal stampings.
  21. james j neiweem
    Six months to a year is more like it.
  22. james j neiweem
    KT's were about 1100 cubes or so as I remember. Why were they stopped- Too heavy?
  23. james j neiweem
    A few more rivets/fasteners might be in order to give it a quality look. I hope the rest of the truck is not put together like this. Grill/ hood /steps/fuel tank fairings/cab seem like they were designed ok. Roof fairing looks like some kids dropped it off a bridge on to the truck.
  24. james j neiweem
    Mason Dixon had a ton of those. B-67's or 65's. Woops didn't notice Mr. Hancock's thread. Looks like surface rust. How much would a 500-1000 mile shipment be?
  25. james j neiweem
    Good looking COE. Sort of similar to the latest Argosy. Skin deep anyways.
