I may be wrong but it seems like a good way to geat a good reasonably priced Mack platform is to buy a used Mack mixer.

Nothing like replying to my own topic but upon further study Meritor bought Volvos rear axle division in 1999. That is why mack rear ends are Meritors. So not only are Macks assembled in the USA but the rear ends are American owned. This is why Dana was dropped. I believe the frames (chasis)are American made. So we have almost half of the truck. Now if they offered Cummins engines( not saying they are better than MP's) America would have 2/3 of the truck American owned. Some logic eh.

If I remember right when the first E-7's came out there were problems with ring and piston breakage.

Sorry Make that 1999

Kscarbel to the rescue. What does this mean? In looking at the Meritor website history it states that Meritor aquired volvo heavy vehicles manufacturing operations in Lindensburg Sweeden in 1969.

Gee. Looks like mack will miss this trend altogether with v@#$% at the helm.

I guess Hallamore was so impressed with the Titan they bought a KW. They were a Mack fleet forever. They still have a lot of Macks but I am not sure if they have any new ones. That's what happens when you build trucks that last. -
Penske you ass why did you let detroit diesel go.

What about 1990's to present?

Chicago R models

I remember a guy that used to come into our plant with an R model and he wiped it down all the time with WD 40.Looked nice but it attracts dirt. -
rear suspensions
james j neiweem replied to james j neiweem's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Hendrickson made numerous models. I guess they must have had some good designs as they were used by most of the other truck manufacturers including Mack. -
Who made/makes the best rear suspension for construction.
-
How many Macks does O & G still have and what is the newest model. How many RD's does Tilcon CT have. I understand they came from sonoco.
-
Has anyone seen the Coca Cola Mack's. Rumors were they placed an order with Mack. Any other new orders? 3P to the rescue.''

KS is there any thin you don't know about truck history. You need to write a book and publish all of your truck brochures. I'll buy one or two.

I'm such a Mack Western fan I didn't even notice the girl. -
Other than displacement there seem to be few similarities between the E-9 and the scania v-8. Individual cylinders and heads etc. If you go to the Scania website there is a neat v-8 animations

Sullivan paving. They have about 5 macks. 1 freightliner tractor and an old ford
-
Great assortment. Thanks At one time there were as many whites as Macks in ohio. Most of the Whites have been crushes and the Macks keep on working.

Mack misses out without cummins in the lineup. More options. -

It was painted aqua color with white stripping just like their Mack Visions and the truck number was high up on the side of the sleeper just like the visions.
