    Well first off, the CL is no longer in production. But in regards to Mack engnies, the new Mack and Volvo engines share the same block; however, all the "trinkets" on a Volvo engine are Volvo, and all the "trinkets" on a Mack engine are Mack. Both engines are made in Maryland.

    I'm glad to see the MR(TerraPro) is available with higher horsepower becasue I imagine those 7-axle concrete pumpers must have been tough to move with only 400.

    I found this site about a Hybrid Granite, not sure if you guys have seen it or if there is a topic on already, but here it is anyway. http://www.trucknews.com/issues/ISArticle....;issue=01122007

    That version of the 460 goes up to 487 horsepower.

    I really can't see Volvo phasing out Mack due to the amount of people who buy a truck for the Mack name. I would hope that Volvo would realize thay by phasing out Mack they would loose too many customers. In regards to the small offset lettering, I actually like it, at least its better than the Vision which only had Mack on the small emblem in the "V" (Volvos way of putting their name on Mack) on the hood. Also, isn't the small offset lettering only on the Pinnacle?

    The only "down-under" Macks that I like are the Vision and Value-Liner. The rest look too foreign for me.

    Please do not be mad, but I do NOT like the looks of the Macks from "down under"(except the Vision/CXU look-alike). I would probably take a Volvo over a "down-under" Mack. That's just my opinion though, I like all of the American Macks (CTP713/GU7 being my favorite).

    New River Valley is the Volvo plant, but it is also the home of Mack highway products(Vision, Pinnacle, and CH). Here's the link: http://macktrucks.com/default.aspx?pageid=7

    Use Mozilla Firefox, its much safer and has few problems. You can get it at www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ if you don't already have it (its free). The only downfall is it can't always play videos(it depends on format), but I have no problems on BMT. If you don't want Firefox, try downloading Internet Explorer 7. Hope this helps

    Making the Intergral Sleepr an option on the Granite would mean changing the assembly plant(s). The assembly plant in Macungie does not produce any trucks with sleepers so the cab lines would need adjustment, and the New River Valley plant does not produce any Granites, so both the chassis and cab lines would need modification. = $$$

    Thanks, are the GU model tags going to replace the CTP...? I also thought the CXP(Pinnacle) was the replacment for the Vision, or are these current tags being used until the MP8 becomes available?

    I was just wondering when the following trucks/componets are set to come out or be discontinued: CHU MRU LEU?(not sure if the LE is changing model names or not) CL Vision CV/CT MP8 Engine MP10 Engine

    A block company near me has a late model (I'm guessing 92-98) Peterbilt 378/379 tri axle dump with 8-hole 24.5 steel rims for the drive axles.
