I was at TRI state several years ago looking at a tri axle mack and talking to service mngr told me about customer that bought 5 new K whoppers and all 5 where there for warranty work at the same time.

Joseph in New Hampshire has one just like that for sale 58000 rears 24" rubber 7 speed 300 engine green seen at a few truck shows in the past years the fifth wheel height has to be in mid 60'''s inch

Did you haul rock out of Stony creek pink granite to gate way this past summer for jetty project going on in New Haven harbor with the 28 ft rock trailers.O&G has trailers with no sides to haul concrete sections of road section back to recycle crusher .

At least it has down pressure.!!The state did one on a highway plow and did a pay loader broke the two arms right off .on a expansion joint,

Nothing new with Mack back in the day in the 1950;s they did crane chassis LJ;s with double steer look at 2stacksuperdog flicker account it has SUZIO with the LJ some say it was the mech that did the fab or factory the company did build there cranes from scratch later Hallamore buying them out with Hartford crane Capital crane Kenebunk Zavata bro Lawance riggers Roger Sherman .Any body with anymore info would be be nice .

PAI parts under 200.00 Mack price range 1200.00 to 1400.00 that's gouging find a distributor in your area the last one I bought was 600.00 E-6 kits 998.00 know 2000.00 + price VOLVO must just X 2 on every thing.

Our town did that several years ago !!!!!!! Last two where Mack cab &chassis 10 wheeler Freight shaker picks up leaves it cant multitask on hills plowing &putting down sand salt @ the same time so its on light duty it was a waste of money.normally they spec some thing that Mack only has so they can justify the extra $.

Here in Connecticut there been a large increase with ten wheeler s even though the state does the state bid for equipment and materials the towns been leaning towards Mack with some first time users some are buying complete units and some are buy cab and chassis 250k +. But when i pull in with my vintage fleet they always start small talk with a inspection of the trucks. Some towns are still using 70 s & 80 s .The only reacquiring problem is the double frames .

Corporation tax is even worst I know a quite a few company's paid between 10k & 250k for pick up in NY and coming back to CONN.to deliver product.

WAS the dealership bought out ! Conn dealership been bought several times called dealer in Mass for battery box 40.00 cheaper called a smaller dealer in Conn 45.00 they're just parts & service no sales people so I have a new job no pay but a good friend ship .

Ive seen so many people over the years that didn't no about check valves a case of either and still wouldn't start!!! change valves start right up ,10.00$

Camel backs spreads when leaning in a turn and it stays there air ride it changes and it squirrely & flimsily !!! if they knew how to build roads you can keep it in one lane. Pretty much all trucks that roll over have AIR RIDE & CB"s CELL PHONE:S TV screen:s & rocket scientist operating them

went to look at a body in Windsor on way back stop at Marino's yard took pic's of old heavy haul Mack just came back from Mass job 14.0024 tires late 50's camel on top of camel back springs Matt will post pic's helpers look like 44.000 .

Just bought 1993 super duty straight axle 5 speed 7.3 diesel naturally aspirated AM /FM ( dose"nt work ) 95,000 miles took flat bed off fabricated pintle plate lights back up -alarm tow hooks &couple brake lines and put the flat bed back on.
