Another thing is how wet the cottage cheese is. We also added shredded muenster, about 1/2 cup, in the mix just because. I actually like muenster cheese better than mozzerella.

We noticed that. We actually bumped the temp up after the 30 minute check to 425. Gave it another 10 minutes and it came out perfect. It depends on how your individual oven cooks. We reheated the leftovers tonight and it was just as tasty as it was on Saturday. Thanks again for sharing. This one is a keeper. We are also going to change it up and try different seasonings and toppings....pulled pork with BBQ sauce, some kind of chicken or seafood, the crust is really versatile depending on how you season it.

Best of luck..we'll be waiting for news.... Paul

What a nice truck. l thought the guy was going to cry when Jay took it off the pavement. lol .....Hippy

Yes, Volvo cab from what I can see. Hard seeing past the piles of snow. From the back though, it's safe to say they're what's replacing the Granite.

Mark T. You say the new Granite is already in production. Does it get a new cab? Any thoughts on the Pinnacle replacement? Mack needs a continuation of the axle forward conventional. All other manufacturers offer this option

This is a continuation of Bullheaded's New Mack release.

This thread needs to be split up into Bullheaded's New release March 2 and various comments about voltage.

Well again wish you best of luck and speedy recovery … bob

well, just got the call. they will be coming to "arrest" me at 5:30 am

A Redhead?? Must be some Irish or Scots blood there.You are in trouble🤣 Paul

Meant used engine parts lots of them

Well, there’s plenty of parts around for those things. Good luck.

Water manifold on your engine (as I expect by the look of the engine) must be a very common part used on many Mack engines of 70's, 80's, 90's and even 2000's years. It's cast iron, consists of two portions, front and rear. I may be having some extras besides my personal needs but you may be lucky finding it in your home country too. Very similar manifolds (or even the same) were used on E7 and E-tech Mack engines mounted on Renault Magnum trucks. Yes, similarity of some Mack engine parts spreads from late 30's up to 2000's years! But also depending on the kind of the issue with the manifold it could be fixed. If there's a crack it can be cooper-soldered or welded or just epoxy-glued for some limited service time (a decade or two )

Thank you very much. I feel very lucky to have my truck engine seems to be in good shape just need to find a new water manifold. Found a 2023 list of part sellers trying to see if anyone on the list has one in decent shape

I like nurses so much I married one......A Redhead at that.......Double the evil. TJC don't you worry about us, we will hold down the fort while you R & R. Take it easy and hoping for the best outcome.

I've been told it's 24v at least in Europe, no idea on the rest of the world. I've heard Europeans singing high praises to the European Volvos elsewhere on the internet, so I'd imagine that they're pretty good.

I'd be interested in the reasons also.

I wonder what Volvo trucks manufactured elsewhere on the globe use. 12 or 24V? Is it just a North America problem?

The reliability of a mack that we once knew is long gone.
