    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.

    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?

    The one on the float is going into a private collection. It's had tons of large work done to all major components.

    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.

    The biggest issue with DMM6EX units in Ontario is that with the start of SPIF axle set ups over 10 years ago, you could no longer carry a full capacity load on the forward axles. Because the second axle has a cab controlled air switch which controls air bags for ground pressure to the axle. It's basically considered the same as a lift axle in Ontario which is now reduced carrying capacity. Love those DMMs.

    Actually all grille pieces are available. Just priced out of this world. The interior pieces are not surprisingly.
  18. bbigrig
    We are looking for all 6 trim pieces. The 4 that go around the grille and theb2 headlight bezels. The parts and part numbers havnt changed since its introduction for the grill surround or headlight bezels in chrome Let me know what your ask is for the part if you have one. Thanks.
  19. bbigrig
    I've got all the part numbers. These are crazy expensive through the Mack system.

    The Vision name never changed when the Volvo frame was introduced on Vision in 04. At the same time, the set forward CH name remained until CH was repowered with MP engines and became Pinnacle set forward (CHU) The Vision name changed to Pinnacle when the engine changed (MP) with a 4" larger cab, (to compensate for engine doghouse) and new interior. Pinnacle set forward and back remained until Anthem in 2017 Then (AN) Anthem became the set back highway chassis and set forward axle stayed as Pinnacle set forward (CHU) (Still a little confusing but hope this helps)

    Looking for good Chrome grille surround pieces for Mack TD713 Titan. From dealer they are ridiculously expensive. Also looking for Titan inside driver side "Titan" door name (plastic beige) Thanks.

    500 were allocated to be built I will ask our friends at the Mack Museum how many on the 100th Anniversary "GSO" were ordered. Most editions come out with a build ceiling. The CL Elite Limited Edition I'd another example where 500 were hope to be built but only 147 were ever ordered.

    Are you asking how many were made or the serial #'s ? My 100 year anniversary Vision is 007901 There were also differences in US and Canadian 100 year anniversary options available. 400 were made available for the US market and 100 for the Canadian market.
