Check out the Baby 8 at Trucktoberfest 2024 Mack Museum https://youtube.com/shorts/3wJ9johEo-4?si=T9CGcl3PrDvb90da

CM was available in single axle and tandem.(34,000lb camelback rear suspension) The term "Frog Dog" was first used for CS/MS midliner chassis that were only available up to 33,000lb gvwr. The CM was known as "the Baby 8" which was a Mack frame and axles. Renault or Cummins engine, Spicer or Fuller trans. Straight truck or tractor. It was the in-between of Midliners and a R models at the time of introduction.

Yes Detroit. Only the 6V92 was offered between 1984 and 1985 from what I understand. 34 MH642 were built and 52 MH643 were built. No MHs were ever built with 60 series Detroit.

Macks new highway model should be coming out sometime next year. I'm guessing it will be sharing cab shells with the new Volvo highway model. Just in time for the new plant in 2026. Makes sense to.send them down the same production line in Mexico while allowing LVO to increase building both regional and Vocational lines at Macungie. Volvo/Macks competition have been building highway products for years in Mexico. Can't beat'em, join'em I guess.

I'm looking for an early 90s Mack Midrise sleeper 1990-95.(pre Millennium series) Preferably with the front window and Elite crimson red interior. Looking to reinstall on a unit. We are also looking for the bunk sub frame/ suspension Thanks.

Are you looking for unloader valves for the air compressor? Mack midliners don't have unloader valves in the compressor system. Depending on the series, they have an unloader assembly in line behind the wet tank. 300 series just use the AD9 bendix air dryer for constant unloading.

Get the bendix part number and call around.

Foot valves are same depending on series of midliner. Mounted differently. Check with dealer for parts and availability.

Back in the early 2000s Macks heavy haul offerings were limited. There were heavy haul customers in Canada that looked into purchasing Australian built heavy Mack models and importing them to Canada. The exchange rate, shipping costs and RH drive were reasons why this interest in Aussie heavy models never materialized into imported units to Canada.

2004 engines although part of the "Etech " engine family are technically ASET Etech engines. Depending on your model of chassis, you could have an ASET AI or AC engine. AI being in Vocational models like Granite and MR AC being in On Highway models like CX Vision. Which do you have for chassis model?

According to the professionals at the Mack Museum, only 358 of the alloted 500 100th year Anniversary Mack Visions were built. I've got some neat pictures and documents regarding the roll out of the 100th Anniversary but this site won't let me upload them. Somedays it works, someday it doesn't.
