james j neiweem Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Mack has pulled all reference to Titan-heavy haul and MP 10 from its web site. Looks like no alternatives are being offered as there is no longer a reference to Heavy Haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackpro Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Speaking of Mack/Volvo corporate. I spent most of last week fighting with them over specing out my good friends new GU. They finally did come out and say why the customer can't have it the way he wants it but it was like pulling teeth. Long story short , Mack makes a 505A just for Allison trans. We try to order it in a GU , . It gets denied. Come to find out the GU's radiator is to small to support the 505 and a Allison with the big heat exchanger on the back of it. However if your in Canada or Alaska you can order it. You can get the combo in a CHU but they wouldn't let us get a steer axle bigger than 12.5k. Customer was not happy however he order one any way that matches his 2016 GU 455/Allison except the new one will have the common rail motor. So far the common rail engines that we have sold have not returned with any issues, were keeping our fingers crossed. My friend has 2 CV's and this GU. Keeps them pretty clean. I spent a few days tinkering on it with some part upgrades and adjustments. Quote Edit Options Add to BMT Wiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david wild Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 For over the road heavy we had kenworths, then they would not build what we wanted, Western Star came and built what we wanted and then some, trucks were great, no problem, just no resale value.

james j neiweem Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Mack pro good detective work- mack pro and fjh keep up the good work-Guys like you keep the Mack name alive. Can't offer a radiator in a Granite for a 505- Give me a break. Can't offer bigger than a 12,000 lb front axle in a ch, again give me a break. 14 & 20's come down the same assembly line at the chassis assembler for granites. When the T-800's needed a bigger radiator they changed the hood to accommodate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big differences in the thermostat housing and cooling piping on a MP engine when you got a Allison trans. However this truck with the 455/ Allison and Mack 4.19 rears works really well on and off road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
