    OK, I was kinda lost there for a minute, LOL. I wasn't sure what you meant. What the EPA has done to diesel engines is a complete disgrace.

    Not sure if you are talking to me? If you are, I already said a new SCR Cat would likely not be any better than any other new engine out there. Just look at the issues with their new loaders and their emission systems. I want pre-emission Cat's back. Which at the end, when Cat announced discontinuation of the cat truck, they did sell some glider's. I should have bought one of those and put a 6NZ in it. As far as new trucks today, my dream truck would be a new International with a Detroit Diesel DD series engine in it. That's what I want!

    Isn't it depressing that we will never see anything like that again from Mack.

    Thanks 41Chevy!

    Found a video. And it even has a legend in it!!

    And does anybody have any pics of these civil defense sirens and how they work? They needed a V8 to run them??

    This brochure only lists 6 cylinder engines, or did I miss something? So is this a different model B bus to have the hemi V8? Who made the gas V6's listed in the brochure? Were they Chrysler also? This fascinates me. I had never saw a Mack school bus before. i would have been in my glory if I saw these as a kid!!

    That is sweet. A friend of mine used to have one identical to that, winch and all, but it was yellow and had an 8V71 Detroit in it. Unfortunately it got in the wrong hands and got scrapped.

    Got me beat mrsmackpaul, LOL

    I don't know if these Mack's are any good or not. But as far as other mistakes......you only have to look at the idiot that is running our country. Enough said.

    That's not the corporate mantra! It is "You take what we give you!" LOL

    Well they need somewhere to put all those 16 litre MP10 motors since they took them away from us, LOL

    Chev China Handmade Every Vehicle GMC Get My Chinese LOL. Seriously though, we here in Canada know what that's like. We lost Western Star and they have gone downhill, we lost Mack (we were the home of the RD800, CL350ST and the big M Series), Pacific, Challenger Trucks, and we lost Kenworth (except for the medium duty production) among others.

    I was just going to say that. I had one pony in the past with a joe dog hauling salt to the sheds. But normally I have a rigid tongue. They are better for our hills in the winter to get traction on the truck drives. But the one with the joe dog could be tied into a knot tighter, LOL. You could almost put the pony up beside the truck. Don't have to worry any more though. They don't wanna pay you to haul the salt, so you make more money leaving it parked, LOL

    Yes, but at least you can get a big sleeper on a Titan over there. That was one of the biggest things that killed it here. That and the price they wanted for a bare day cab. My favorite quote from my long time Mack salesman friend when he got his first one in: "How in the F@&K do they expect me to sell these at this price!" LOL Edit: At the time he said when they first came out, that was a day cab, cab and chassis tractor. It was the same price as what I was paying for fully equipped 4 axle dump trucks.

    At least Mack Australia still knows how to build trucks, to specs customers want.

    I like them. The HX is one of the nicest trucks I have drove, and I have driven every brand. I'm only 5'9' though, so I have no issues with cab room. I like that cab, but I do miss the old dash that I had in my 5600i and 9900i. I wish now that I would have got one of those last Cat trucks when they offered them as a glider to get rid of the last chassis they had on hand. That would have been sweet, basically an HX with a 3406E or C15.
  18. Bullheaded
    Isn't she pretty compared to a Mack Titan! LOL
  19. Bullheaded
    Nope, you can't have a sleeper on a North American Mack Titan heavy haul, but here, let us sell you a Volvo with any option you want, including a Cummins engine. https://www.truckpaper.com/listings/trucks/for-sale/189857253/2020-volvo-vnx84t740

    I also love when they get the title "PRODUCT SPECIALIST." BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
  21. Bullheaded
    This is one thing that really gets me. I go to lots of trucking trade shows, and watch lots of you tube videos truck and compact tractor dealers put out. It blows my mind how many of these Factory reps, and salespeople either know NOTHING about their products, or they just can't speak. Most of them give no product information at all. They just try and baffle you with bullshit. It's kinda like me hiring another truck driver....... me: What's your experience? App: None. never drove before in my life me: You're hired! LOL

    Wow! I guess I better keep all my Holden branded memorabilia my friend in Australia has sent me.
  23. Bullheaded
    Hahahahaha

    There is an auto detailing place in my town and as I drove by one night I looked at their sign and it said "best hand job in town." It only lasted a couple days, so somebody must have made them take it down, LOL.

    Good one finding that ad with the Mack KS!! LOL. I wished they had brought the Amarok pickup here. VW used to be very dependable. Used to be that the body would fall off before they ever broke. But the last several years they are using cheaper components. Every oil change interval (which I do before their recommended mileage) I am replacing sway bar links. And around 3 years they need control arm bushings. But my rural roads don't help either.
