Judging by the 4 inch exhaust, I'm guessing E6

I don't understand the last sentence, but the image is very helpful.... you are a welcome asset here.... I think I like this idea so well because it looks like something a farmer would do.

Amazing ... any pics of this? Do you have to plug the breather for this?

There is no equivalency, and I made no such claim. Marxism is far and away more destructive.

Everyone around here with 20 acres thought they would become millionaires by 2020.. some because the developers told them they'd be. All I've seen is a hot-mess because of it.

I'm sorry but come on... Do you get as upset when you see the Alt-Left waving the Hammer and Sickle? We were in a cold war with them that lasted 50 years.. and a few hot ones too. (My father, a Tet Offensive veteran saw the Left in full bloom in '68) The Neo-Marxist are driving their agenda far more effectively from the college campuses and the MSM than the trifling number of actual Neo-Nazis or so-called white supremacists ... I went to a Christian University and to see the hammer and sickle on a dorm wall was seen as edgy and cool... but by-God... a Swastika?? you'd be expelled... Yet Stalin alone was responsible for murdering over 60 million people in his own country. THINK THINK THINK check your bias, because it clearly exists. READ READ READ "Gulag Archipelago"

Lady Butterfly.. that truck has been around for 20+ years.... at least. Sure has changed over the years.

I REALLY like that Star...! I just realized the "Commander" name .. Carried over from when White referred to their cabovers as Road Commanders?

Do you think the 'alliance' with White/GMC maybe softened Volvo's entry too? I was astounded at the loads I saw being moved with single axle 112's and 113's in South America. Those trucks, to me anyway, actually looked under built, but were clearly superior to anything else working from that time period.

What sort of emissions controls did the DC11 receive? I'm not familiar with the Euro tiers.... The DC11 was built as a fully electronic controlled engine then? I had understood the DC14 to be offered in a manual/electronic hybrid sort of like the PEEK Cat motors. And while I'm on the subject, was the 16 liter designed with an EGR valve from the beginning?

Why is it that Volvo was able to gain a foothold in the North American market, and Scania dropped out?

The 11 liter was available in 310-380 form.... from what I've seen. was this a simple fuel setting/turbo/intercooler spec? and the nomenclature ... the letters following the series numbers, the suffix.. they had an abundance of them it appears. I couldn't find a comprehensive list anywhere on them. thanks for the link. There are many many 141's in South America. Most are rust free. prices aren't too bad with currency exchange, but shipping of course makes it very complicated.

I've developed a strong curiosity for these trucks after seeing so many of them on my trip to South America, but it doesn't seem as though I can locate a good informative website for them. From what I understand, the 11 liter six cylinder was the staple of the company for a long time. But I'm wondering if the output ratings were similar to Mack in that the 237 was essentially the same as a 350. And what the nomenclature stood for.... following the series number HS, HW, H, M, etc.

it isn't about money... its about ego and power.... We'll complain if we want to, its our right.

Can't help you with part numbers... but I just wanted to know how it feels to "sell the farm".. and say that you look like a hellavu fun guy.

Why?, he's not taking the high road in one post and swatting hornets nests in another. Just another Leftist hypocrite... sorry, but you've never done your positions any favors.

Why don't you take your own advice? Clearly you enjoy stirring the pot as much as anyone.... A call for riots - Page 2 - Odds and Ends - BigMackTrucks.com

I like your style David Wild.

I'm ignorant on the subject... why would a democrat be for deregulation? Sounds more republican to me.

Another area of bi-paritisan agreement with you. Too many big vehicles. Everywhere in the world people haul twice the load with half the vehicle; and they often do it safely. You will routinely see BMW and Mercedes Benz wagons towing horse trailers..... in Germany for instance.

Because David cares about not only what is affordable for him, but what is affordable for everyone.... most conservatives are like that.... its called being thoughtful.

As long as you got yours...

Thats what I just don't understand. This horsepower/torque thing; mechanical vs. electric. The torque/horsepower figures are exaggerated.????

I'm sure you think LBJ's War on Poverty has been a success too. If you hope to gain credibility, you have to admit to failing, the ACA has mostly been a failure... Obama's own constituents betrayed him.

No, I don't think so. They thought enough of her influence to fire her for pulling that stunt.
