    Can't blame Volvo, can't blame Renault, can't blame Signal but you can blame the Mack board of directors. Nearsighted and gutless, they took the easy way out. White went bankrupt fair and square though totally reckless ruining White, Reo, Sterling, Diamond-T, Euclid, and Autocar almost.

    I guess if you are half nuts and living on the edge it pays to be in a 8x8 Scania. Some of that video looks like you should be driving down hill in reverse.

    I am guessing the Mack salesmen don't want to be bothered unless you pay them up front. They don't want to go through the effort if you are just shopping around. At a multi dealership sales people will push what they can make the most money on. They may have better incentives to sell other manufacturers products. Any Mack sales people out there with additional info.?

    I believe the H-61's had some steering linkage issues being so tall. This was corrected with the H-63 I believe. The H-61 may have been tall to accommodate the Cummins engine. Other trucks of that era were also tall such as KW bullnose, Pete bubblenose, and IH Hi binders.

    Wow!

    So what should one buy?

    Volvo- sell Mack and leave the USA altogether. The only smart move you've made is selling Autocar and that was government mandated.

    I like the new Anthem fenders but not a fan of the new grill. I think the grill would look much better with horizontal chrome bars with or without the Mack logo. That plastic looking black screen mesh just doesn't cut it IMHO

    Thanks for sharing. The first RD talks about being engineered by Mack. About the only thing Mack can engineer now is " Mother may I to Volvo". I think I saw on here that the Mack CL 350 was built heavier than the Hayes' and Pacifics' I thought the Mack CL was derived from the Hayes.

    Good point keep UD out of Chinese hands. Now all we have to do is rescue Mack. President Trump "Make Mack great again".

    cPaccar is still in attack mode. KW and Pete are neck and neck. Interesting. Mack is up from 5 % to 6.4% market share probably due to the Navistar dive. Navistar is ready for a VW fire sale.

    I thought the Maxidyne setup poured more fuel in at lower rpm. Adjusting the fuel would seem to increase torque but not HP. I may be wrong.

    Bullheaded you hit it right on the head. What Mack customers want is options like big bore etc. etc. not dumb as all black Anthems.

    Neat remote control haul trucks.

    Ironically though isn't Volvo now run by an ex Scania executive? I thought maybe he might knock some sense into them.

    Saw on you tube that the Mack truck modification center has been shutdown. Where are the mods done now?
  18. james j neiweem
    How much?
  19. james j neiweem
    At the same time almost every other fleet was trying to standardize.

    Merry Christmas also.

    How is it that some threads just take off like a bat out of H as in " An Anthem and a couple of gold bulldogs". Great thread by the way.

    That CH is pulling a 90% grade,

    For all the White trucks sold back in the day there sure are not many that survived. Fleet trucks galore.

    My bad it was Antigo Wisconsin

    I thought Paccar put the X12 in the T 800's.
