rigchaser Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I saw a thumbnail of it in the random gallery picture but couldn't get it to load. I think the truck is from Central/Eastern PA and it a black Mack CL "Premier" edition aluminum bed tri-axle dump. It's way way way clean, saw it once at the Buck...does anyone know whose truck it is and does anyone have photos of it?Thanks,Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackcl96 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Well mack built the premier just like some of other trucks (magnum,freedom,georgia buldog and others)you cant change the specs too much. I tried for a V-8 but Michael kline at mack (HQ) said NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Premier was promo to push cl sales so mack threw all the options in the book. but you only had one month to order it454 hp at one time (last dyno at allentown put 477 to ground ) do the math 547 at flywheel give or take.18spd 20k front mack 46k airride 3.86 rears it will run(but its not light, built old school its going to last)one thing that it has that I havent seen in soom time is all the air,fuel and water are all steel braided lineno plastic Quote Thanks for hearing me out.You can have the soap box now---------JIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(no disrespet if shes related) TrentThanks Trent,I appreciate the kind words. I grew up with nothing so I try to take care of what I have. The older program that was installed was in 1998 and it was for off road use only in USA. But most likely it was a normal program in Canada. The last update was in fuel pedal response.You should be lucky that there is any girls in the photos (wife was in charge of pictures).Jim Quote Thanks for hearing me out.You can have the soap box now---------JIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's never complained. Jim, what do you use for polish for the paint and for the aluminum? I use mothers 3 step for the paint and lazy mans(the one with the rabbit on it) for the aluminum. It works well but I'm always open for suggestions,Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff you can leave on your wheels and tanks for two ours and it will wipe right off. It's like using car polish on the finish!Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
