bullhusk Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Well said Ernie! i wonder why people like us understand this? and the polititians don't??? i know they don't live in the "real world" like the rest of us do,but its about damn time somebody did! I deal with the general public almost everyday,and the opinion i get is,as long as people can get cheap shit for a good price,they don't care where its made! and this pisses me off! i mean we sell scrap steel to japan,korea,china etc.for pennies on the ton,and they send us cars back! I was really happy to see Mack put so many people back to work,and not just diggin ditches,but REAL,GOOD PAYING JOBS!!! i've been a life-long customer of Mack,and believe in the trucks they build,and have made my living with them for 30 years now! I just wish people would wake the hell up and DEMAND products BUILT,MADE,MANUFACTORED,ASSEMBLED, IN THE U.S.A!!! before its too late! you'd be surprized at just how few things are actually 100% American made,its a damn shame!....................MarkMark, It's those real good paying jobs that keep America on the move!! ie; the people with those jobs are the ones buyin new cars an houses, an stuff!! The poor guys makin min an low paying jobs are not! an THAT! my fellow Americans is where we are at now Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19327-interesting-new-trucks/page/2/#findComment-79337 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobo Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Mack and Volvo are the last ones to build all their trucks in the USA. Literally everyone else have some trucks built in canada or especially MEXICO. Spread the word to anyone and everyone. Mack=100% of the trucks roll out of Pennsylvania production facility is there a problem with trucks made in canada? Mack made shit loads of trucks here for years! Were they offshore junk? Hmm... Don't think so! Bobo 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19327-interesting-new-trucks/page/2/#findComment-79349 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Guys, I have to partly agree with you- we need to stimulate our economy, not China's and Mexico's! The stimulus was a good idea, but there should have been a requirement that the stimulus contractors use US made products as much as possible.ya,,,same with the cash for clunkers..turned in all american steel,,and bought jap cars,,,what a deal..bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19327-interesting-new-trucks/page/2/#findComment-79401 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look let's face it: the problem is simple stop sending our jobs over seas, start drilling for oil, keep our coal an find cleaner ways to burn it, instead of flushing 3 trillion dollars down the crapper like Obama did, he could have set up 0% loans to US companies an entrepreneur's with good ideas but no backing, (money) an said start building an hiring in the USA!! An for GOD'S Sake we gotta stop buyin oil from people who want to kill us!! An givin money to China... those little bastards would just love to take us over!! How come Trump is the only one who see's things this way!! Oh an there is one other guy... If he could get his act together Rudy G. X- NYC Mayor.. Was it not him who told the Camel Jocky to take his 10 million an stick it where the sun don't shine?? anyone who could chase the mob out of NYC. Garbage, Hunts Point- Bronx Markets Javitz Center, Fulton Fish Market Times Square an put NYC back on the map again! esp. after Dinkins got done with the city! Don't ya think he could do a better job then anyone?? I mean come on with that history behind ya?

slpwlker Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 is that a 12k steer under it? Why would someone put that little of a front end on a tridrive?weather they put the weight up on the front end or not it is hard as hell on the front end and kingpins as well as tierods are gonna be the first to go. Idk why some people spec things like that. Kinda like this built a monster and put a 13k steer in it. to king pins later swapped out a 23k steer for it with the factory engineers blessings.

Underdog Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Any idea what kind of FE increase the fairings are supposed to provide?Speaking from experience, I REMOVED the side fairings from my CX in 2007 with no loss of fuel economy. Made no difference at all.I did gain 400 pounds of tare weight though, so I am better off without the side fairings.
