  1. They had to have known about this. But why didn't they nip it in the bud?
  2. Which Manufacturers have the best build quality? Class 8 Class6-7 Class 3-5
  3. I guess I'm not speaking to quality issues as much as options offered. Also once all the loose parts fall off the Granites you should have a pretty stable truck
  4. Is the Scania v8 like the EMD V's where you can remove the cylinder power pack as one unit. ( EMD 567-710 great design)
  5. How does the MAN 16 liter compare to Scania 16 liter.
  6. How does Meritor compare along side Eaton or Sisu. I see more x15's hooked up to this than MP 8's.
  7. How are they going to get Navistar? One big gulp or one slice of bologna at a time.
  8. Use as many gears as practical so the 237 doesn't chew up the tranny. Nice find.
  9. Yes its abut power and control. The elites can eliminate the useless eaters.
  10. Hate to say it but that is sweet. As usual Paccar is one step ahead.
  11. Second grade. Started my love of Mack about that time. Mack LJs used to deliver food to the National Tea Store below our apartment in Winnetka Illinois. Never saw an LT in Illinois growing up. All B's L's H's F's and A's. Sure do like the Deusenberg of trucks though (LT's)
  12. Great news for Navistar and VW. BMTR's silver is at a historical low. Stock up on poor mans gold before prices soar.
  13. I don't believe these will be very popular on the truck show circuit.
  14. How about the return of the Louiville line.
  15. Looks like Navistar will have a host of V engines to choose from. Scania and Man 16 liter engines.
  16. Thanks a bunch Roger Penske for selling Detroit to Daimler.
  17. Mackey58: I think you are right Western Star is the new Mack.
  18. Logtrucker: It seems the specs for a heavy Granite and Titan are the same except for big bore engine.
  19. Seems like the other manufacturers like Paccar and WS will build you what you want. Options Options Options.
  20. Wow Mack made cranes also.
  21. Elsewhere on this site or the web the the ETB 673 was an upgraded HP engine to 306 HP. I can't seem to find it off hand. Just had it about 10 minutes ago and lost it.
  22. Where can one find truck manufacturer orders broken down by model? Such as Granite, T880 IH LT etc.
  23. As stated above the pinnacle can be ordered with the Granite chassis. So why aren't there more heavy duty pinnacles and granites sold as tractors? Hmm let's put on our thinking caps. Why is Pete/KW-WS-Shaker kicking Mack's ass. NO BIG BORES ALLOWED IN THOSE SHORT HOODS PERHAPS !!
  24. Traton/Scania/MAN/Navistar out of the same stable- very interesting. White could not do it with White/Autocar/Reo/Sterling/Diamond-t. Volkswagon has the deep pockets though from the Europeon Royalty. When they reset the economies of the world the poor and middle class of the world will be smashed and the royalty will be just fine. Sick. Working truckers be advised buy poor mans gold (SILVER) and the reset might be softened.
