  1. Why is Renault so strong compared to Volvo/Mack?
  2. They cease to be a Mack customer/ That seems to have happened a lot over the last 20 years.
  3. That rust looks like you may be close to the ocean.
  4. Terry: Too hot. Too many snakes and scorpians.
  5. HB you're a yung un.
  6. Volvo COE not available here in the USA. Not yet.
  7. Nice looking truck. Hats off to Paccar. Its about time. Just when they were getting their T 800 to look respectable. I'll bet you can get big bore power in that baby as an option.
  8. If Volvo kicks Mack to the curb, Mack could still build some decent vehicles using Cummins, Eaton, Allison and Hendrickson components. A big plus would be Cummins network. The biggest plus would be Volvo restrictions would be gone and allow creativity to flow. Cummins needs Mack and Mack needs Cummins, Eaton, Allison and Hendrickson. Seems like it would be a plus for all companies involved. I have a couple of grand for the joint venture. Ha! John Deere or Oskosh might be a good fit also.
  9. Volvo pushing into the construction market can only hurt Mack even further, especially when the Volvo/ Mack dealerships push Volvos. Once they get a firm foothold in the construction industry they may kick Mack to the curb. Watch out if Volvo ever builds a COE for the refuse industry. That would further hurt Mack. The Volvo agreement where they had to sell Autocar can't go on forever.
  10. Wonder what the turning radius is of that 8 legged cow.
  11. Did the e6 and e7 use the same block. I thought the e7 was just an increase in stroke over the e6 with a beefier bottom end.
  12. Looks like the cab tilt system(2x4) needs attention. 1986 no maybe 1966.
  13. I like the eight legged cow. Tri axle
  14. CTC looks good in any color. Thanks for posting
  15. They don't push the camel backs but I believe you can still get them on Granites. Does Mack offer Hendrickson suspensions. They should be rugged like camel backs.
  16. Hope the upcoming new Mack will offer the Cummins big bore as is offered in the Volvo.
  17. Seems like Mack had one of those centers in Allentown.
  18. FX: The new grill and flat fenders will be quite a change from the present pinnacle axle back. Looks like more of a change than say a 55 to a 56 chevy. May be more along the lines of a 56-57 chevy.
  19. Nice little B wrecker. That would look good with a shaker or Paccar in tow. That DM 800 is a beast.
  20. I often wondered what an R model would look like with a CH cab. As the boss said " I think we nailed it". Time will tell.
  21. I wonder if this will be just for the CX or CX and CH.
  22. Looks like the bold Mack letters are back on the grill.
  23. Maybe Cat should have built a truck on a Cat platform and skipped the IH linkage. There was no uniqueness there.
  24. Well done. Kick Paccars ass.
