We just got our first CPT713 in with the new MP7 Engine! Looks pretty good, but I am glad I don't have to work on these engines!

We also got these in!

The last couple CL700's in the free world! Both have Cummins engines and both are already sold! (There is also a Cherry Black Rawhide day cab hiding in there, but the batteries died on my camera...

Hey barry what are they replacing the CL with again? Have any pictures of it? Are they going to do away with the CH anytime soon?

What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

Mack had better come out with a replacement soon... South Dakota has eliminated their GCW limit, and trucks there only need comply with bridge "Formula B". They allow doubles up to 81 1/2 feet long including drawbar with no limit on tractor length. A 4 axle tractor pulling a 4 axle trailer, 3 axle dolly, and 4 axle trailer could thusly legally gross over 150,000 pounds. You need more than a 405 horse MP7 engine to move that kind of weight. Just to have a barely acceptable 6 horsepower/ton you'd need 450 horses, and you'd need 600 horses to meet the Euro standard of 8 hp./ton with one of these South Dakota road trains.

Mack should have saved the E9 V8 for markets like South Dakota, Michigan, etc.. It's too late to brig back the V8, but Mack had better get the Volvo 16 litre engine in a Mack NOW. Sure, a South Dakota trucker could get those 16 litres and 600 horsepower in a Volvo highway tractor- but most of the South Dakota market is for construction trucks and they need a Mack chassis. The same is true of U.P. loggers- a Volvo isn't going to last long on logging roads.

The CH is going to live on as the CHU with the '07 engine. There will be a replacement for the CL in the future.

Thank God for that. I was getting worried that they were going to do away with the CH.

Ok, here are a couple quick shots before the rains come (again)

I wanted to take it 'on location' to our photo grounds so it would have a better background...but this should be ok for now.

Now that the CL's are discontinued, are the CH's also going to be discontinued?

I wish my dealer would get in some CTP713's already. They got a CXP613 in back in September followed by another identiacal CXP613 and two CTP713B's.
