GearheadGrrrl Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Mack had better come out with a replacement soon... South Dakota has eliminated their GCW limit, and trucks there only need comply with bridge "Formula B". They allow doubles up to 81 1/2 feet long including drawbar with no limit on tractor length. A 4 axle tractor pulling a 4 axle trailer, 3 axle dolly, and 4 axle trailer could thusly legally gross over 150,000 pounds. You need more than a 405 horse MP7 engine to move that kind of weight. Just to have a barely acceptable 6 horsepower/ton you'd need 450 horses, and you'd need 600 horses to meet the Euro standard of 8 hp./ton with one of these South Dakota road trains. Mack should have saved the E9 V8 for markets like South Dakota, Michigan, etc.. It's too late to brig back the V8, but Mack had better get the Volvo 16 litre engine in a Mack NOW. Sure, a South Dakota trucker could get those 16 litres and 600 horsepower in a Volvo highway tractor- but most of the South Dakota market is for construction trucks and they need a Mack chassis. The same is true of U.P. loggers- a Volvo isn't going to last long on logging roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GearheadGrrrl Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 A Volvo will outlast a Freightshaker, Kenworthless, or Peterbad though. A Volvo is definately good for a million highway miles, but no truck can stand up to constructioon, logging, refuse, etc. conditions like a Mack.

Mack 3P Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hey barry what are they replacing the CL with again? Have any pictures of it? Are they going to do away with the CH anytime soon?The CH is going to live on as the CHU with the '07 engine. There will be a replacement for the CL in the future.
