  1. I've often wondered what an R/RD hood would look like with a CH cab. May be we will find out. Seems obvious that if they are going to stretch the front end of the CHU they will offer Cummins big bore.
  2. How did White bus sales compare to Mack?
  3. For some reason I think those tandems look tougher than the tri axles
  4. This is good news for an American manufacturer.
  5. Get your classic diesel Macks while you can
  6. I had to sign in this morning on my laptop.
  7. Is the MHD a class 7 or 8. How are sales.
  8. You can buy these oil sample test kits for personal use. They also have transmission, power steering and coolant test kits. Kits are very cheap. I'll look around to find the company. Found it. Fluid RX.-A website called gwrauto.com is a distributor for Fluid RX. Looks like it might be cheap and reasonably accurate. They have various test cards that you can compare your samples with. I used to be in charge of the oil sampling program at a large nuclear facility. Sending samples out is very accurate but also very expensive. Turn around time may be too long for a problem truck. This test kit should allow you to take a questionable truck out of service very quickly until you can get the lab samples back. Should be a good tool for the hobby truckers. Quick and dirty. I think a lot of fleets use this test method.
  9. Sure hope it doesn't come out looking like a CS.
  10. Better for sinking into the ground.
  11. I think that the Granite axle back makes for a sharp lowboy tractor. Although it may be under powered for some applications.
  12. Nice. Galvanized cab to boot. When did the galvanized cab start? 1987?
  13. Chances are the torch hole is in cylinder.
  14. More likely a DM 600. No?
  15. Scania marine locations are probably few and far in between.
  16. Just a guess but I would think they would drop the pinnacle name for the CXU and keep it for the CHU. IMHO new truck needs a new name.
  17. Can a Scania V8 be put in a glider? What tranny would be needed?
  18. There goes Europe again one slice of bologna at a time.
  19. They would only need more BBC if they were going to offer a 15 liter engine.
  20. Whats up with this? Metalurgy is one of the oldest sciences.
  21. Not bad looking. Kind of reminds me of the Iveco conventional
  22. How does that 3 part hood look/work
  23. Might be nice to start a gas engine thread if not already done.
