    Hendrickson should revive their truck for the heavy haul market now that Mack Titan appears to be done.

    Bring back the Hendrickson truck. That would be nice. Hendrickson is still in business. They certainly have the suspensions for the heavy haul market. Throw in a beefy frame vendor engines and drive train and you are good to go. No distribution network though. Make an offer for Mack. Hendrickson and Mack used to be strong competitors in the Midwest.

    It's hard to say since they don't offer spec sheets on the Mack website anymore. Just fluff sheets. Maybe milkman or log truck man would know. I guess the true test of the frames would be coal country where the Titan never caught on like the RD and DM 800's. Funny thing is I believe the Aussie Mack web site still gives out spec sheets. Seems like Australia Mack is ahead of the curve compared to the US.

    If Mack was going to offer a replacement option to the Titan, you would think they would roll it out before dropping the Titan and creating all of this ill will. Sounds like they may be thinking of a piece meal replacement. I am not sure if you could get a Titan frame on a Granite but that would be a start along with a hood that could accommodate a 15 liter Cummins. I don't hold out hope for a well thought out replacement as it took them almost ten years to roll out an LE update.

    KS always says there is no more Mack. Maybe it's beginning to sink in more and more everyday.

    Logtruckman. Mack has zero say on what goes on. Volvo killed Titan. Seems like the new Scania boss is putting Mack on the back burner.

    No more heavy haul or oil field for Mack!
  8. james j neiweem
    Probably a great truck but its as ugly as sin.
  9. james j neiweem
    Love that style front end with the horizontal shutters. I agree with you Vlad. The hood seems to be better proportioned to the cab.

    I thought Oak Harbor bought some pinnacles

    Prayers. It will get better.

    Gone are the days of the drop in Maxidyne for 6,000.

    That B looks like it may have a fiber glass tilt hood. There doesn't appear to be a fender seem. Also note the hood lock. Merry Christmas to all.
  14. james j neiweem
    That would be awesome. May bee he will post some pictures Merry Christmas to allia all.

    Read on face book that a guy had white R model 1988 with an experimental F700 drive train. I asked about it and he said it was an F-700 with an E-9 engine. Was this ever offered? I know the 865 and 866's were options. Could his be true? F Model with an E-9 would be awesome.t
  16. james j neiweem
    I am guessing Mack engine/transmission/rear end/springs/front axle/frame. Can't do that anymore.
  17. james j neiweem
    Will keep an eye out for the Palumbo Macks.

    Five Volvos lettered for Holden? That would be beyond test vehicles for a small fleet.
  19. james j neiweem
    That's kind of the way it started with White/GMC and Volvo and Mack and Renault.( Europe prevails).
  20. james j neiweem
    Bye bye IH. Its been nice knowing you. Going bye the way of the Do Do/ White/ Autocar and Mack.
  21. james j neiweem
    Headlight lenses/signal lenses are different(separate instead of one piece). Side vents look like they are changed(kind of on a 45 deg angle). May bee Volvo isn't giving Mack a new cab because Volvo isn't getting one either. They may feel the Volvo cab is still competitive. If they were going to kill off Mack I don't think they would put money into hood changes. If they were to sell Mack they might want to doctor up the aerodynamics to sweeten the sale price.

    Some of the Australian Superliners or Tridents would be nice. Is this new pinnacle version going to be for axle backs and forwards?
  23. james j neiweem
    The 446 was a gas v8 made into the 80's. The 549 v-8 went out in the 70's. Not to be confused with the DT 466 inline six. IH made tons of different gas engines that were used in farming and trucking.
  24. james j neiweem
    Looks like Sharkey Transportation colors. They own a Mack dealership I believe. I like it better than the new Freightliner or Navistar.
  25. james j neiweem
    Good report. So is this in actuality a 1/2 a common rail engine. Also I thought engine manufacturers were going to higher injection pressures for more efficient fuel burn. What are the injection pressures on Cummins, Detroit, Paccar, Scania and IH/Mann.
