    Will be the sharpest Mack in Russia.

    Volvo drops the Titan and keeps the VNX! That pretty much says it all about what Volvo thinks of Mack. Can't get an MP 7 in a CHU -Sick-Sick-Sick

    As I remember there weren't that many axle forward Brocks with the Mack cab. Beautiful blue Brock. Looks as good as a Superdog if not better.

    On the Canadian Nanaimo Mack web site they have some nice Mack eye candy. Customer purchases. Looks like they sold a few Titans up in that area. A lot of cool looking granites.

    Were there any of the later R models with E7 engines. I know the RB's and RD's had them.

    Beautiful trucks! Are they from PA or Ct

    Don't see what the big deal is in building a cab and chassis, and when it gets to the end of the assembly line, pull it out into the parking lot with a fork lift. Daimler and Paccar have it figured out.

    Dump the CH and bring over the Aussie Macks (Superliner/Trident/Titan). Keep the CXU, Granite and COE's. This would allow Mack to compete with Paccar, Daimler and Navistar.

    You mean like Volvo getting their head out of their arse. No indication that will happen.
  10. james j neiweem
    Can a Granite be spec'd to match a Titan. Minus the MP10 of course.

    Looks like Volvo has pulled the rug out from under Mack's heavy haul business.
  12. james j neiweem
    Beastly. I wonder what an 800 would look like with wide front tires.

    Bynum tank lines seems to be IH and Freightliner now.

    Western Star moving ahead with HD trucks to compete with KW.---Mack-ZZZZZZZZZ

    Sweet. Enjoy

    This is a good thread to revive since the E-6 350 is still popular and mechanical. I am sure there are many interested in 350 modifications for more power.

    Volvo has never given Mack the option of using Cummins 15 liter in the past. Only the natural gas and diesel for the MHD. Again Mack on a short leash.
  18. james j neiweem
    Good point Oso2. Would just like Volvo to give Mack a little more latitude like Renault or Mack Australia.
  19. james j neiweem
    Volvo killed White and Autocar in one fell swoop. They are killing Mack one pin prick at a time. Possibly the only ace in the hole that Mack has is the MR/LE. The government made them sell Autocar because of a monopoly in the refuse industry. May be they will make them sell Mack in the same way. When Volvo makes a new cab over for the refuse industry you know Mack is done.

    I think the last B made was a B-53 or B-57 cement chassis. I thought I saw it in one of my Mack books.

    Now that's the way old working dogs should be treated.
  22. james j neiweem
    Kenworth is finally making a good looking truck and it only took them about 100 years. Should give the Granites a run.
  23. james j neiweem
    Nice capture good luck with it. The E-7 400 was a good engine as I'm told.
  24. james j neiweem
    That big six looked like it was ready to go. I wonder who killed that (Renault)? I wonder if that was in the same time frame as the intro of the E-7. I know the E-7 got off to a rocky start(pistons rings) as I recall. This was about the same time Mack went to South Carolina. Was the E-7 a Renault design motor as some have suggested. That might help explain the big six never went into production. Too bad if so.
  25. james j neiweem
    Also I believe the E9 didn't catch on as well as it could have because of less than stellar performance of the earlier Mack V8's. Also V-8's in general are a little shy on torque and rely on HP(RPM) to get the job done. If Mack had made an 900 plus cubic inch six cylinder engine using the Maxidyne principal things may have turned out differently. They would have been well suited to todays 1000-1500 operating range.
