Joe Ditchkus Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Did Mack put the Thermodyne hood emblem on Cummins equipped B Models? I always thought it was only for Mack powered trucks.

Thanks Joe Ditchkus.Hi Joe, you are correct in your assumption. "Thermodyne" was a Mack term only.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

HK Trucking Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I've seen some of the Cummins equipped B models & L models with that yellow & black Cummins emblem on the hood in place of the Thermodyne emblem.

Rob Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I've also seen the "Thermodyne" emblem on B model hoods minus the "Diesel" when the truck was gas powered. My B-62 was like that with an EN-464 engine.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
