  1. Some of the railroads with the 567 leakers never changed the oil.Just added fresh and changed the filters
  2. Mack makes great trucks however they don't have the range of models vs the competition. Navistar/Volvo/Paccar/Freightliner. Example: Granite one BBC offering CH axle forward one BBC offering CH axle back one BBC offering Titan one BBC offering MHD one BBC offering MR one BBC offering Not counting bumper options of course. With Mack it's one size fits all.
  3. How about starting an agency to regulate the regulators. Oh wait we already have one the Congress. But they don't do their job.
  4. Should be able to fight it's way out of a brown paper bag.
  5. I can see increased sales for MP 10 turbos and damaged MP 8's
  6. Take the reins off of Mack as far as new products go and watch Mack soar.
  7. Cab-Hood-Manual transmission-Top loading rears(Does Volvo use?)-Camel backs-Westport Chassis (Volvo probably uses also)-engine programming. Probably not much else. Is Mack walking beam still available?
  8. Just think every single one of those parts was made in the USA at one time. Did any body notice the air dam on that L model. B models didn't even have air dams. Must have been put on later in life.
  9. Love that horizontal grill on the blue one. Looks like it might be a Rawhide grill.
  10. Another Mack user going to the dark side? Saw a new Western Star dump for Sullivan paving to go along with their Freightliner lowboy tractor.
  11. Josephs has a couple of really neat Mack R water trucks camaflaged as dump trucks. Look pretty sharp. Call for price
  12. I never new the C model fenders swung out. C Model was a beautiful cross between a L and B model. Would have continued to make the accountants happy. This was the perfect answer to the White 9000 A car cab. Only speculating but the C model if continued may have outsold the U model. Sorry Vinny.
  13. They call them VGT's variable geometry turbos. The vanes are partialy open for greater air flow velocity on acceleration. When the vanes are full open you get max air flow at higher power levels. On my 6.0 the max boost (vanes wide open) is about 40 psi. Being that its a 6.0 I never go over 20 psi. 6.0's like to be worked easy if you want them to last.
  14. Come on boys what happened to Connecticut construction trucks?
  15. Nice shot. Notice the little Mack emblem on the grill. Kind of like today's CH/CX
  16. Thats a rugged looking 6 wheel dump. Don't often see a A car dump in that configuration. 35,000 rears is one heavy spec back end.
  17. Aside from model makeovers by Volvo CHU to Pinnacle axle forward Vision to Pinnacle axle back MB updated Titan -Down Under makeover Low entry updated The last new Mack Model was the Granite 2000-2001 by Mack/Renault Seems pretty pathetic when you consider the competition.
  18. If only Mack had taken care of the business side as well as Paccar has.
