    That CH has a Mp10 in it . I was there last year.

    You can get a 16k front supposedly but ive never seen a axle forward pinnacle with one . You can also get 46k rears theres alot of them with 46k rears.

    A granite can be specced out for severe duty , triple frame heavy planetary rearends. , no steel hood or 15-16 liter engine. In reality a mp8 with super low gear ratio 7.00 or lower could pull just about any load.

    I was told by a long time western star salesmen that yes the old cab is going away . He said no replacement for the 4900ex hood is in the cards.

    Interesting. I heard volvo has placed a good truck man from australia at the helm of the MACK northeast united states region . Dean Bestwick former Mack Trucks Australia vice president of sales and marketing is becoming the northeast regional VP based out of mack corporate head quarters. They say he's a real Truck man and Mack enthusiast that used to drive road trains in Australia.

    Most of the mack plow trucks i know in municipalities and state trucks have mp7 and even mp8 . Alot of towns are getting high hp motors now. Our town has a freightliner with a dd13 470hp. I know another town that has a western star with a 505 dd13 . My couzin used to drive a mack granite plow truck with a 405 mp7.

    Id guess a british columbia logger set up.

    Our mp 10 engine brakes are as strong as our cummins x15's. well tbe mp 10 actually hold back better in the low rpm and will bring you to complete stop almost with out using the air brakes . The cummins work a tad better in the higher rpm but cut out in the lower rpm . Our titans all have original brake shoes and drums , and all of them have over 300k miles loaded heavy all the time.
  14. 41180
    Mack should find a way to stuff x15 in the anthem pinnacle and granite and offer the x12 as well . I think cummins has the best performing engines right now. Im not a cummins man by any stretch but they seem to be doing good

    Yeah ballard is the best mack dealer in new england or atleast they were , because they only sell mack .thats where we bought our titans . 25 yrs ago the other new england mack dealers wanted to sell us western star.

    I know volvo has screwed mack up but i know you can spec a heavy anthem or pinnacle or granite tractor to do what you wanted,you can get atleast a 10mm thick frame same as a 3/8 rail and up to 16k front and 46k rears in the anthem or pinnacle and heavier stuff in the granites , there is some misimformation out there . Not saying mack isnt basically a shell but you can still buyvsome heavy duty macks

    In a press release Friday morning, Ram announces X15 now available in its 2500-5500 series with up 605 hp and 2050 torque 😂😂😂😂😂 with GCWR of 100,000 lbs.
  18. 41180
    That is beastly looking for sure .
  19. 41180
    Is it really worth having all those axles and tires to maintain ? I run in alot of miles in Upstate NY and can weigh 107k on just 6 axles and its alot of maintenance .never mind the fuel mileage must be awful at that weight
  20. 41180
    I still see quite a few newer macks in new england and new york state . In NY state you can gross 117k legally with quad axle trailer, ive seen quite a few pinnacles with mp8 pulling quad axle dump trailers in the upstate albany area

  24. 41180
    The early e7 's 1990-1998 are in my opinion the best engine mack ever made , along with the e9 of course
  25. 41180
    I agree put this grill on a chu stretch the hood of it and bingo you have a superliner 3 offer the mp8 and cummins x15 or a (scania v8 ) 😉
