My name Is Matt and I love this site. I'm new to the site and have been surfing around looking at all the photos. To all you guys and gals out there who love those MACK TRUCKS like me I just wanted to say Keep on trucking. I'm an owner Operator pulling flatbed and I own a 2001 CX-613 Vision. The ole girl has been very good to me and I was able to pay her off a year and three months early because she gave so little trouble. I hope ya'll will check out my pics and I hope you enjoy them. I first sat in a Mack truck when I was in the third grade, the truck was a late 70's R model Mack and I was thrilled to death when the driver who was our neighbor, took me and my brothers across town in it. That excitment has never left me. I decided after working several dead end jobs and a few insults from one of my brothers that I had to do more with my life so in the summer of 1995 I applied and was accepted in the truck driving program at South Georgia Tech. Well about the time that I was testing for school a good friend of mine bought a 1980 R model Mack and wouldn't you know it he let me drive it. Well if you call nearly grinding all the gears into slag can be called driving. From that day until I went to school I helped him work on that bulldog when ever I could. Over the years I have been made fun of for my passion for MACK trucks, that only spurred me on until May 12 2006 that's the day that I bought my first Mack. I even sent a letter to Bulldog magazine and they published it. check it out on the MACK web site vol. 1 2007 second to the last page. By the way my C.B. handle is Grave Digger thats one of the DEADEND jobs I was talking about. I was the last man to ever let you down litteraly. I only made $7.00 an hour and worked an average of 80 hours a week. I did all the set ups and opening and closings of the actual grave side services. I had help but I was the only full time employee that worked outside. I also worked setting the head stones and other monuments as well as taking care of the grounds around the funeral home and the perpetual care cemetary that they owned. ANYWHO ENOUGH OF THAT, whatever I do I give it 100% and require the same from others and from my truck that's why I have to have a MACK...nuff said

Well I had realy been waiting on the old girl and here she is what will the OTR version look like I have pics of the new aussie titan and trident but i believe that they only had the 500hp MP-8. Yes fellas they're rated at 500hp in the land down under I'll try to upload the pics. I like the front end better on the aussie Macks but I cann't wait to test drive one and maybe buy an OTR version with complete MACK drive line.

I'm not sure on tha renault question however I know that they helped Mack get a 700hp E-9 into a french army tank as well as a tank transporter. 2 NO NOT ONLY NO but HELL no through out the ninties Mack gained market share every year, because the trucks were MACK tough. I'm not sure what caused all the engine problems with the E-7 engines after the E.G.R. system was introduced but the e-tech 427 in my vision has given me very very good service and currently has over 755000 miles on her.

Hello all,I'm new to the site. My name is Matt but ya'll can just call me MACKDADDY. Any way I voted for the 70's and 80's. The 1st truck I ever rode in was a R Mack and the first truck I ever drove was a R MACK. I,ll never forget. However the best driving truck I,ve ever drove is my 01 CX-613 Vision... Along with the 08 Pinnacle I drove at the Nashville TN. MACK dealer last year during the Mack performace tour. She was sweet. I liked everything except the volvo battery box on MY MACK TRUCK and you can bet your eyesight I let them know it.
