  1. wait another year and i think you;ll see mack with a superliner or titan here in the states to replace the cl. it will be powered by the mp10 625 hp engine .you;ll be sorry if you dont.
  2. THAT REMINDS ME OF A GUY I KNOW THAT HAD A 95 OR96 CL THAT HAD ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH HIS 454.HE SAID IT WAS JUNK. WE BOUGHT A NEW CL IN 97 WITH A 454 AND HAVE NOTHING BUT GOOD LUCK WITH IT.IT HAS 420,000 MILES AND 22,000 HRS AND WE HAVE ONLY HAD TO CHANGE THE TURBO ONCE AND THE AIR COMPRESSOR ONCE. THATS IT. WE ALSO HAD A 93 SUPERLINER WITH A 400 THAT WE SOLD LAST YEAR. IT HAD 545,OOO MILES AND 31,000 HOURS THE ONLY THING WE DID TO THAT WAS THE TURBO AND A COUPLE OF CLUTCH FANS. WE LIVE IN VERMONT AND THE GUY THAT BOUGHT IT LIVED IN MISSOURI. HE DROVE IT ALL THE WAY HOMEWITH NO PROBLEMS. BOTH OF THESE TRUCKS ARE LOG TRUCKS THAT PULL 100,000 PLUS ALL THE TIME. SO IGUESS THAT GOES TO SHOW YOU SOME TIMES YOU GET A GOOD TRUCK SOME TIMES YOU DONT. HOPE YOU HAVE BETTER LUCK WITH YOUR VISION.
  3. i hope one of the fusions has a long fairly straight hood with lots of chrome and polished aluminum. and i hope they call it SUPERLINER.
  4. i dont think its a bad looking truck. its better looking than a kenworth t800 which every body seems to brag up as a good dump chassis. i also think the CL DONE UP NICE IS JUST AS GOOD LOOKING AS ANY TRUCK ON THE ROAD.I WISH ALL YOU SO CALLED MACK GUYS WOULD STOP WHINING.
  5. my father bought the engine from stateline truck service in nh. it came out of a CL TEST TRUCK. THE GUY THAT BOUGHT THE CL HEARD A NOISE IN THE MOTOR SO THEY GAVE HIM A NEW ONE. THEY PUT A NEW CAM IN IT AND PUT IT ON DISPLAY IN THE SHOP.THE 350 IN MY FATHERS TRUCK HAD 25000 HOURS IT STILL RAN GOOD BUT HE COULDNT RESIST THE V8.WE THINK THEY WERE TESTING 550 HP RATINGS AND JAKE BRAKES. SORRY IM NOT SETUP TO PUT PICTURES ON THE NET. OUR TRUCK IS PAINTED DIFFERENT THAN YOURS.

  7. my father swapped his 350 for a500 back in 1997 he bought a v8 test engine for 6500 dollars it only had 5000 miles. but it ended up costing him 25000 all togeather because he had to change all the brackets and the radiator. he bought the truck brand new in 1989 he could of ordered it with the v8 for 10000 more but he didnt want to spend the money. he is happy that he swapped but he should have just spent the extra money when the truck was new. we still have the truck the v8 now has 325000 miles on it and about 20000 hours and still runs strong.last fall we had to change the radiator again because of overheating problems. our dealer said that that was the last radiator in the country. it cost 2000 dollars and was bigger than the one that was in the truck i dont think the one that was init was the right one because after he put the v8 in he had overheating problems every summer. he had to keep blowing the radiator out because it would get filled with dust.the truck is a89 rw 713 triaxle log truck with a log loader on the back. it has 3 tone paint like the one on the pamphlets in 88 or89 charcoalgray marroon and silver. supposedly it was the first truck that was really painted like that. ihave only seen 2 other trucks painted like that. does any one know how many were painted that color.
  8. I have heard that next year mack trucks will have the big volvo engine that makes up to 625 hp. I am just wondering if it is true. I was told this bymy mack parts dealer.They said that it will be available in all mack models. I really hope this is true.
