lucerne tractor Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 It's too bad you can't get a Cummins in a Mack in the U.S. when they can down under. Australia has new Superliners,they have Titans with 625 Cummins 2250 torque, Mack would sell alot more trucks if they would put an engine in them here. I've got a CXN613 with a 12" frame,46 rears,14600 front, fuller 18 spd,4:30 ratio 70 ton Holland fifth wheel,really comfotable,great sleeper with fridge, big bed, microwave, aux heat, has it all, but a Cummins would be the Cats a$$, I saw that wrecked PELLETIER truck at the Mack garage in Bangor. I delivered them a new harvester with my Pete on a lowboy, 83 feet long, the trailer was 9'6" wide, the machine maybe 11'wide, didn't know the camera crew was going to be there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tq9h5BClpU 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'm just north of Sault Ste. Marie. You know anything about this Superliner bobo? I see it down south all the time. That is one sweet float.I may do a detail up there in the near future. There is a shut down radar facility and talk of reopening it. The type that is located there I have several years experience with.They are seriously wanting me knowing I can't freeze my balls off.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

lucerne tractor Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I don't know that as I've only heard it referred to as the radar site.RobThere is a huge old I believe Airforce base up there. It is pretty much shut down, they rebuild Hum V's tanks and military equipment there now. I've hauled tanks out of there in the winter to port in Maryland. I bet thats the place, was a cold war station, closest to europe I guess. Maybe to protect the east coast since it's furthest east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are reactivating and modernizing the perimeter radars around the country thanks to 9/11/01.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

cxn613 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Talk to alot of guys that run new cummins. They say there ok, but a tech at a brand X truck garage swears up and down and hates to say it, but believes Mack has the best package going on right now. Which it's kind of obvious when you see customers that left Mack a few years ago b/c of the problems, now come back to Mack since the MP engine is performing well.

Titan with a 60" midroof MP10 18 spd. Tri axle, I can see it now...........wonder if they'll ever offer a long/heavy haul? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41180 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 ive heard of other companys in maine and quebec that have titans and like them. those cat trucks they have are c15 cats with international fuel systems and super egr rated at 550 hp and 1850 torque i doubt they have the power of a 605 titan. also cat / international discontinued the c15 program so i heard cat trucks will be powered by cummins isx 15 engines painted cat yellow .
