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.

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.

Agreed- Other than when it relates to old Macks like zoning laws, state regulation of historic vehicles, etc. politics don't belong here. Everyone has complaints about their health care, etc., not just old Mack lovers, so those discussions belong in other forums. We need to discuss relevant topics here, like how do we preserve more historic Mack trucks?

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

Everybody and their brother wants a pickup around here, so it's a sellers market that the dealers take advantage of- I often see 5 year old pickups selling for about the same price I can get a new one for at fleet pricing. Get much older than that and you start seeing expensive rust problems on the underside of vehicles- My Ranger cab and box looks great but I've had to replace almost every brake line due to rust, and some of the 10+ year old Rangers have had frames rust through. and after I've spent $20k on a 5 year old pickup I still have to worry about a $5k engine or transmission rebuild. And that $20k pickup only gets 15 MPG.

The good deals are in small cars, which are cheap to begin with and depreciate fast- I can buy a new Focus, Cruze, etc. for around $15k new and way less used. They get around 30 MPG, and put on a trailer hitch and you've got the payload capacity of a half ton pickup. You just have to quit thinking "pickup" and start thinking "car", or at least "minivan"

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.

Well if you're so great and wealthy and have all these expensive toys, how come the price of insurance is such a problem for you? And yes, I know what the world's highest lift capacity cargo plane is, the Russians built 2 during the cold war and 1 is operable.

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.

The thing is, it feels as though that event was just yesterday. The entire company, including the factory branches and dealers, was excited because we knew that we about to redefine the industry. The original cool power 300s would run circles around today's 400s. That whistle meant massive torque at your disposal.

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

Your opinion of Giffin at CNN is much higher than mine. 

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

A higher percentage of Americans have health insurance thanks to Obamacare. The gap in Obamacare was for folks like you who weren't eligible for any subsidy, weren't part of any group, and live in a state that didn't create their own exchange.

The ACA is a failure. Everyone knows it. Only a fool attempts to defend it. It was good at first, but the loser millennials who loved Obama didn't buy insurance. My premiums have gone up 250% since 2014. I live in a strong market with lots of hospitals. It was a joke, many believe it was designed to fail.

Do you need to be reminded an idiot like Trump won? He WON! We all were stunned. and it was because of Obamacare. .. this was evidenced in the 2010 Congressional "schlacking" the Dems took... who knew it could carryover and put Trump in the White House? If you can't see that Obamacare doesn't work, take a look at who's in the White House.

Guess we forgot about all those tasteful depictions of President Obama being lynched. Or maybe those polite comments about his wife looking like an ape. Or those delightful personal attacks of his daughters. Remember Ted Nugent and his comments? The exact same crap as what Kathy Griffin pulled except they were playing for the other side.

The point is this. Both "sides" have their fair share of lunatics who really do not represent the group as a whole. Left or Right. Democrat or Republican. Pro gun. Anti gun.

Its not the 'exact' same thing. Griffin is a media figure well-associated with CNN. It gives credence to the notion of liberal-bias news. It was also done in the fashion of DAESH, while possibly not intentional, showed an incredibly horrific level of ignorance. 

The lynched Obamas were disgusting, and as far as I can gather, was limited to fundamentalist rednecks from the hills, not some well-known comedian associated with a major news network.

My only complaint with the cabover was entry.... felt like a window washer scaling a skyscraper getting into my MH.

Tire inflation set up. The Scannia you looked at had the same thing.

Yeah, there on 85% of the trucks there. Roads are pretty rough of the main highways.

In Brazil, 141's are a common sight to this day.

How about this crazy set-up?

Fortune Worldwide 500, transportation companies: http://fortune.com/global500/list/filtered?sector=Transportation

Not a single one in the top 100, and not a single trucking only company made the top 500. Even the biggest trucking company has less bargaining power than at least 500 companies, so the trucking industry has little bargaining power in relation to their big corporate customers. And the little guys with one truck or a small fleet? The big corporations have you all fighting with each other for money losing hauls while the CEOs buy million dollar Ferraris while you work hundred hour weeks trying to eke out a living with decades old trucks!

Ah yes, Comrade, soon the revolution will come. We will rise up and crush the bourgeoise .... everyone will drive 55mph, haul precisely 79,999lbs and own a Dacha with corn that grows 16 feet tall. It will be paradise I say! PARADISE! . . . 

Greetings Riccardo. The Euro styling never caught on too strong here.... but I love them.... can't tell you anything about the Ivecos in the USA either.
