    Beautiful!! Very nice work. I got a ton of respect for all you guys that restore these trucks. I wish I had that kind of talent.

    The mass ground point inside dash on driver side A pillar. Clean and check your grounds. At least that's what it was on my 2000 CH when I used to have it. Always had the malfunction light coming on and off and the truck randomly shutting off and starting right back up while driving down the highway. Dealer never could figure it out. They changed all kinds of harnesses and ecm. Was just the mass ground. Found out many years later.

    Ya, it's a shame these icons of trucking never got the attention or recognition their car designer brothers got.

    Yes, interesting. Thanks for the info.

    Every time I look at that round headlight Superliner it reminds me of the one that used to be in town here back in the day pulling log trailer with the V8 Detroit in it. It was very odd to me to see that Superliner coming with 2-stroke sounds coming out of it, LOL.

    https://www.priestlysalvage.ca/movie-props.html Scroll down until you see it. These guys are in my province. Why couldn't I see this before i just went and spent my money on an F550!!!!! Anyone wanna buy a Ford F550?? LOL.

    I think all these new restoration and custom car shows on TV have screwed up any chance of us normal working people from ever affording another classic to build at home. Everyone thinks the old junk sitting in their field is worth $100,000 now because of these shows.

    Yep. I once worked for a fleet that had a whole bunch of V8's hauling salt all winter. Those things would always start no matter how cold it was out.

    Nice. I wish I would have kept some of mine. Only one I still have all the books from is the 88 R model.

    These trucks are sweet, but when I saw the episode with the company making the new Power Wagons I looked them up. Since I wasn't born rich I really ain't gunna spend $200,000 on these pickups, LOL.

    I had my puff limiter plumbed into the air switch on my dash that was for the Mack 12 speed as my truck was converted to a 15 over Eaton before i got it. Two settings....driving through the scales compliant and full throttle response!! LOL. Before that when I was driving multiple company trucks I always had a pile of roofing nails in my tool box. They plug those air lines quite nicely. LOL.

    Saw your truck featured in Todays Trucking awhile back. very nice!

    Kinda like White. look at the powerhouse they used to be. They had 5 major truck brands, a bunch of major agricultural brands, some major heavy equipment brands, power generation companies etc. How does a corporation like that fail????

    Me too. Always loved the RD800. Where I am in Ontario we don't have the fat trucks like the CL350ST (even though they were built here) but we had RD800's and CL700 loggers with E9 V8's and planetary rears hauling 200,000 pounds. There are still one RD800 and one CL sitting in a mill just north of me, but all the rest have pretty much been replaced by Stars now.

    I asked one of my friends that lives and used to work around these beasts. His reply: Do not know if they were that good. There would of been tons around. The cabs were shit as well they put Pacific cabs on after they were driven for a few years. the Mack shacks shook apart There is lot of info and pics about them here. https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/threads/mack-cl350-st-logging-truck.20056/

    I saw this too. Yes it is sad, but I can't say it surprises me. Mack didn't do anything to promote their driveline in the last several years. And just about every truck on dealer lots has vendor drivelines. And EVERY time I spoke with dealers about ordering an all Mack truck they ALL talked me out of it and pushed Eaton and Meritor. So it's pretty sad when the MACK DEALERS talked you out of buying Mack drivelines.

    I don't know if you can say the CL350ST was built heavier than the Hayes or Pacific's but they were all pretty similar. I know they had some issues with the doors and cabs cracking and may were retrofitted with Hayes or pacific doors. It was also very interesting that the Challenger truck that came along later, designed by John Casanave, was offered with the Mack E9 V8 engine. He said they had very good power to weight to fuel economy ratio compared to the V12 Detroit's that were most common in those big trucks. I scanned a brochure for them on this forum somewhere a while back.

    I've thought this before after seeing a few heavy spec Anthem's here pulling live bottoms. They had the 385 wide base steer tires and I thought they make a better looking vocational truck than a highway truck. I still HATE those ugly square hood side vents though.
  19. Bullheaded
    Yes and another benefit is I go through the inspection scales and they don't even give you a second look when it looks like you are maintaining your stuff.
  20. Bullheaded
    Not anything I thought you would ever see. This dealer always has some interesting specs in stock. https://www.nortrux.com/index.php?area_id=1001&page_id=1098&page_element_id=68&item_id=631&LIMIT68=20#element68

    Here's the site specific to the XD Off Road. It shows all their alliances with the different body makers. https://www.westernstartrucks.com/Trucks/XD/ This could have been Mack.
  22. Bullheaded
    I would guess the yellow DM's are E6 Mack's.
  23. Bullheaded
    Hahaha, that's funny and ironic.

    I think all Volvo has Mack for is to sell tee shirts and online merchandise to those of us that remember what Mack once was.
  25. Bullheaded
    Ya, notice how many prominent Mack dealers now have more Volvo signage than anything. My local dealer Mack North....they even made them remove Mack from the name. Now they are All North. There are many other companies that got swallowed up by Volvo that I won't get in to, but what they have done to Mack and Champion Motor Graders really strikes a nerve with me.
