slpwlker Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 SUPER SINGLES ON EACH TRUCK????? ARE SUPER SINGLE TIRES BETTER THAN DUAL TIRES????Depends on who you talk to. I'll never have them on anything. Never liked the handling,you blow a tire your screwed, but you are lighter.

mackdaddy Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 CHU RawhideI seen a few Rawhides with the large chrome surrounding the front girll. Much like a Superliner had. Is that an option or 3rd party purchase? Sure makes them look good.

Mack 3P Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 GU dual steer. It will be a mixer, wouldn't mind seeing it when it's done.

But wouldn't it be easier to put it in place as they already have it on there or do they got to do other mods?

41chevy Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Neglection of needs of long term. They are going for the instant satisfaction of the quick sale with complete disregard as to long term goals, yet only looking after the short term ones.This is the basic problem with our youth in the current generation started by the "yuppie" generation.Too much credit, too easy to obtain, till it all comes unglued and financial collapse is inevitable.RobThats a big part of it, but it is also the schools attitude on non white collar workers.My grandson wants to be a diesel mechanic. The school "career counseler" wanted to know why he wanted to be a piece of crap grease monkey and not have a real job in an office or store ?" I went to the school with him and wanted to know what is wrong with working with your hands and doing something you enjoy? I told him I have $140,000 plus in tools and go to school regularly to keep updated on the tech side...What do you do buy new pens?" Teach a kid a trade and they will always have work! I was just looked at like I was stupid! Thats part of the problem too, They teach kids that manual labor is for the illegals and foreign people to do for us. Hell I've seen people who are "educated " that can't even use a rotary dial phone or do simple math in their head. No wood shop,metal shop auto shop... only video games mtv and texting! Sorry for the rant, I'll go take my Green pill now..... Paul Oh and nice new Macks. 2 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19327-interesting-new-trucks/page/3/#findComment-81330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack 3P Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 CXU612E for Chili. Don't understand the application but we build them every now and then. Decieving from this angle but it has 4 or 5ft of frame after the axle.

granitefan713 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Run of the mill Titan.Now that is a sharp Titan! I also love the Bolus Freight Mack Pinnacle in the background!

james j neiweem Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Good to see Bolus is back to Mack. They purchased shakers for a while. Heard they had problems with the visions. I guess the shakers didn't work out. Good news for Mack.

I guess the shakers didn't work out. Good news for Mack.Same here. I heard they had turbo and rear-end problems with he shakers, plus they didn't necessarily get the greatest service on them. There are 10 Pinnacles on the order, plus one in a much brighter blue, with a chrome bumper. Not sure what the story is with that one though.
