  1. Cant be a 2007 us market titans didnt come out til 09, nice truck though we have 3.
  2. Alot of drivers will beat the shit out of a mack and then say its junk so the boss will buy them something "cooler" . With a bigger hood
  3. They had mostly mack but for the past 15 yrs or so theyve had all kinds of makes freightliner ,pete, volvo,maybe even some western stars plus macks. I still see some of their old CL's and Rds and other macks but must be their phasing out everything but new Kenworths.
  4. Gm authority blog is reporting a new 6.6l v8 gasoline engine for the 2020 silverado hd and sierra hd and also navistar is testing it for use in the cv series as well as chevy 4500-5500 . Around 400hp 450tq.
  5. Technically no, you can still get the pinnacle axle forward but the new 70inch bunk doesnt allow for the stacks to be mounted behind the cab not sure about the 48 flat top . I still think all these new trucks with the scr are money pits, our titans are vsown with emission crap problems quite often now that they are all 5-7 years ild, our new kenworth is a year old and just lost a def pump and the dealer wasn't too good at diagnosing the problem took 3 trips to the dealer to figure it out
  6. I guess we'll see , could be nothing , they are just trying to sell customers on anthems and granites ,but the stay tuned thing along with A RD 800 has me wondering .
  7. All jokes aside inthink there maybe a new mack heavy haul truck in the pipelne, mack had a meeting in canada a few days ago and posted a picture of a RD 800 log truck on twitter with the #staytuned mack is tough enough for canada.
  8. I read one of the articles about the 990 and a big wig at kenworth said the w900 is staying in production.
  9. They say the W900 isnt going anywhere I dont understand the need of this model if they are not going to stop making the W900 ,why make this ? When freightlinet made both the classic FLD 120/132 and the first gen coronado novody bought the coronado ,they had to stop making the ckassic to get people into coronados .
  10. Just a question ? Why didnt you just get a pair of the 2019 pinnacle headlights that are Led factory equipment ? Or wont they fit a older ch ? They look the same
  11. Western star has as many issues as any other , ive talked to more than one owner operator thats un happy with their newer stars, radiator issues ,lraking cabs ,bad wiring . They call them glorified freightliners just as jack is a glorifiex volvo , they all suck nowdays ! Imho.
  12. Heaviest frame rail available in the pinnacle /anthem is a 9.5 milimeter equivalent to a 3/8 ,plenty big enough for 99 percent of applications. I think you can get a inner liner as well like 6 mm equivalent to 1/4 inch . Granites offer a 11mm equivalent to a 7/16 frame with liners and triple frame option. Our titans have the 11mm with a liner .titan and granite frames were the same i think.
  13. Yeah they still make the T800 even though the T880 has been out for a couple years , there's no real reason to make both other than choice I guess , the medium duty a are still using the old cab as well so I guess time will tell.
  14. Yeah looks like cheap grill material not real stainless maybe I'm wrong. Are you sure the real w9 is going away or is this a rumor?
  15. Yes up to a 16k front 46k rears , heavy single frame not sure about a double frame ?
  16. I've seen 6 ,saw one they look better on the road than in pics , also I did see quite a few continental paving granites. But yeah seems like every construction company is buying t880 now . One smaller outfit around me that had ran RD'S for the last 20 years bought 880s to replace some of the old macks but I did see a new granite the other day in their fleet .
  17. Funny you bring this up. Last week I was on vacation at the coastv,new Hampshire and maine ,I traveled on 95 a few times saw 3 anthems 2 were Sisco food service and one nice Canadian flatbed hauler all decked out looked cool going up 95
  18. What year is your Titan if it's less than 5 years old you can get a new grill under warranty . They gave us new ones for ours ,supposed to be better quality .
  19. A couple months ago I talked to some scania industrial engine salesman at a logging show in Vermont and I asked if the v8 wood find its way to North America in a international and they said it's very possible but they said frame width would be a issue that might might stop it from happening as international would ha to widen the frame rails like mack did and they didn't know if that would happen . These guys I talked to l loved the E9 mack and were former mack mechanics and salesman from the United states.
  20. I saw a anthem today it's the second one I've seen both looked really good ,the one I saw today was a chief express long haul truck it was red with the 70 inch bunk . I could tell from a long ways off it was a anthem .
  21. Maybe I'll get ahold of him and see about a cat powered one
  22. I was talking to him this past spring about a classic glider set up for mack e7 engine and he said he could probably make one and would give me a price but he never got back to me.
