    Not only more makes but more models also. On any given day there was a chance that you could go down the road and see an H model, G model, F model or cruiseliner. And also every color combo under the sun.

    Its funny how Mack and White both moved west and western star is still here and M ack western is long gone. As a matter of fact western star is now moving east. I think they are going to be built in North Carolina

    Saw a Sweeny Mack Pinnacle down in CT. It was painted white. Not as sharp as the old red and yellow scheme. Not exactly a construction truck but it was a Mass truck.

    Nice rugged B's. I guess the first dog can fill in as a coat hook.

    These people (Communists/Socialists/progressives/liberals/Dummycrats/Rinos) are dumb like a fox. They are not stupid. We are stupid. We put them in office with a lot of help from voter fraud.

    I believe Forrest Gump stated "Stupid is as stupid does"

    These types of problems couldn't happen on a mechanically popped injector from yesteryear.
  9. james j neiweem
    That is a 300-400k engine with a liitle care. Injectors are only 15 dollars a apeice compared to 350 dollars on the new ones. Repair or replace the oil pan while its out of the truck. Oil pan rust was about the only problem on a 7.3. Crankshaft sensor was another minor problem.

    KS I believe you are right about the unions at that time pushing management to the wall and not budging or comprimising. A lot of US companies were lost in the industrial north and midwest because of union tactics. I tend to think behind the scenes there was communist influence in the unions. Now they are trying to get a strangle hold on the public sector. Not a good trend for the rest of us.

    If you are behind the counter and don't have a clue don't compound it by being an A hoe

    KS Volvo bought White and GMC for their nationwide dealer network and the assembly plant in Virginia. What were they after with Mack other than to knock off a competetor.

    KS Great Mack history lesson. What products did Mack have scheduled for the 90's. Vision and Granite come to mind.

    Nice job! B model with a liitle leg room.

    The B's , R's, Brocks and A-cars were all metal. What did Paccar ever make on there own? Sheet metal, fiber glass and now plastic.

    I didn't mean CL I meant CH. No over the road big power. CL was a great workhorse. My only point was that Mack failed in the 90's under their own management and they can't blame Volvo for that.
  17. james j neiweem
    Mack was strong up until the 90's There product offering in the 90's really hurt them. Then came the vision in the era of the bad engines. The Granite got off to a good start but then the bad engines slowed them down. they are making somewhat of a comeback now but Volvo won't let them really take off like say in Aussie Land.
  18. james j neiweem
    I think the CL never caught on was because it was only offered as a set back axle. Can't blame V!$#Vo for that. It certainly didn't catch on for over the road big power. The CH had a forward axle but no big power. Thus the heavy haul and long haul was lost. You can only blame Mack for that.
  19. james j neiweem
    Really when you get right down to it Mack management couldn't lead mack through the tough times. Thus the infusion of Signal money, Renault money and finnally Volvo money. I don't like Paccar but they have proven that they can run an efficient organization even when times have been tough. If Mack management had the management team that Paccar has had there would still be a thriving independent Mack. The same could be said for the White Motor company.

    Hey Granite fan. What is going on at the Macungie parking lot? Any new photos.
  21. james j neiweem
    I think they came out with the C model to use up the last of the L and B parts because the next year the R and U model came on board.
  22. james j neiweem
    I picked one up at tractor supply a couple of months ago. I am sure the ATHS site has some.
  23. james j neiweem
    Individual cylinders and heads like the EMD's (Now Cat)

    Sweet B great colors

    285-Well said. Lets hope Mack doesn't move to Mexico. Lets give Volvo credit for one thing -The Mack and Volvos are made in the USA and so are most of the major parts and pieces.
