  1. Certainly not old enough to be considered a truck professional but old enough to be a salesman.
  2. When I was a wee lad in Chicago, electric buses and trolley cars were the norm. I guess what's old is new and what's new is old.
  3. Welcome to the land of retirement. Keep us posted on your projects.
  4. Down uderites: What was the smaller Mack COE made in Australia. Not the Magnum. Where they decent trucks. I thought they were decent looking trucks. Are they still made. I think they were used over the road, in mixers dumps etc. It may have been a Renault model.
  5. fjh:: Good speculation since they put almost zero investment in the MR and only a little cosmetics on the LE.
  6. Better looking than the white one.
  7. Lets see is Volvo good or bad for Mack? Mao would be pleased.
  8. Uh rolling start Uh Big Mac Uh happy meal Uh Volvo engine Uh Volvo auto Uh gold bulldog. Would you like fries with that bulldog.
  9. Never knew about the Massey Ferguson and Caterpillar connection. Interesting.
  10. Looks like Canadian tanks
  11. I thought they were being built in house (Hagerstown) (Volvo?) Go back to Eaton
  12. Vlad I have a hard time coordinating right leg left leg right leg left leg.
  13. I Believe the New Anthem starts production next week along with new interiors for granite and Pinnacle. Granite- New interior Pinnacle-New grill, interior and roof line for sleeper Anthem-New hood, interior and roof line for sleeper
  14. Too bad. Mack used to be king in the Chicago area.
  15. Some times these rattles can be a resonance issue. Have someone sit in the cab and slowly run the engine rpm up and down. Have another person outside listen for rattling sounds at different rpm's. Resonance will usually be a higher pitch buzzing sound and will occur at a specific RPM or range of RPM. When found tighten, lubricate or shim. Rattling in the rear end would more likely be more of a clunking sound. Camel backs will rattle but usually after thousands of miles of wear on suspension parts.
  16. Saw a lot of APA Macks in my time. Never saw a vertical stack on an R or a CH.
  17. BMT over face book any day. Like you said archives. Rob good to see you are still active. Learned a lot from you over the years. Does Mama eat any of that stew?
  18. I remember the red U models. I think they had some White 9000's with the A car cab also.
  19. Rest in peace Daryl.
  20. By the time they got the bugs out of the 711's the damage to Mack was already done. Fortunately the Maxi came along. but with a small block compared to the competition (Cummins Cat). Too bad Mack"s big six was never Maxied.
  21. Mack glider anyone
  22. Those new Pinnacle AF's are gorgeous.
