  1. That's a good question R Horse. I don't believe they were U700's The ones I remember seeing were low hoods (600's) The Cummins 903 was a 90 degree V-8. The Detroits were 60 degree v-8's plus they had the supercharger up top Thus the Cummins was lower profile I believe
  2. St Johnsbury had a lot of tandem U models with Cummins 903's
  3. Not only is the Navistar board of directors letting VW kick them in the teeth but Navistar will be kicking Cummins in the teeth as well. The old Europe Royal money is steam rolling America.
  4. Superdog what does your fleet consist of? I see some stars and a CL
  5. 5700 is a good looking truck for sure
  6. Doesn't make sense that they would use 3 UI's and 3 common rails injectors. Sounds like a test project using the customers as guinae pigs.
  7. I can't believe they they don't use Mack MHD's LOL
  8. Are those Schwinn butt cycles
  9. Global warming an excuse for the first ever global tax to save the planet.
  10. Way to go Navistar board of directors. You just let the rattlesnake in the mouse house. Are you people to dumb to see the historical implications of Europe gobbling up US industries. I think not. You are just purposefully carrying out your new world order plans. Old Europe Royalty money in action.
  11. Pretty clever rollout with their customer colors and logos. Looks pretty slippery. Front profile not bad. Side profile not so good IMHO. Interior plastic masterpiece if you like plastic.
  12. KS I am on board with USPS buying American. Yes milkman that Iveco is a good looking vehicle. It kind of has the general shape of a Volvo VN but much better. That would be a good start for the Mack new cab. By the way where is the new Mack cab. Probably the same place as the US Superliner/Trident, forward mixer, E-9, Titan sleepers, Cummins diesel option, etc. etc.
  13. I'll take the looks of an MH any day. Just can't coddle up to the Europeon designs.
  14. I believe the proposed MP8 TC is slated to be 540-550 HP
  15. Phew,That was a close one, I thought it was going to be Iveco taking over Navistar.
  16. Ditto that BCR. I used to see that Mack dealership on the way to Comisky Park also. The year Maris hit 61 I got to see him hit one. Mantle followed with a rising line drive that hit the center field score board. Kind of forgot about Mack's that day.
  17. Are the current Detroit Diesels total Mercedes influence? Is there any Detroit 4 cycle influence left.
  18. The latest edition of wheels of time is a real treat. They have an extensive article on the L model Macks.
  19. I never heard of BMT Investors.
  20. I guess he is gambling on Volvo moving in a positive direction. Might be a time to buy.
  21. When Mack was Mack. Then again you could argue that Mack hasn't been Mack since before Signal.
  22. Lets not call it a glider but can a Mack cab and chassis be purchased from the factory? It seems that if the factory is not at full production they could make it so that it wouldn't be disruptive to production.
