Mackpro Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The MRU looks great then they make a front loader out of it and all that juice from the cans oozes down over the cab and windshield. We had one new 2011/2012 MRU in our area but customer sold it to someone in New York after 3 months of use. So glad to see it go!

vision386 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 My friends at Mike's truck and trailer in New Haven Ct. a few years ago started having the garbage haulers power wash their trucks before they would work on them. Mike said he was tired of maggots in his face. I appreciate the hard work trash haulers do and this country would come to a screeching halt if it wasn't for them.I have a buddy thats a mechanic at Harvey Mack in Delaware,he said the garbage truck repairs always go to low man on the totem pole (senioritywise) because of the constant stream of "gravy" running out of them!....................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

This thing has an "undercarriage" wash bay that is really neat. You drive into the bay, get out of the truck if wanted and start it. A very high pressure rotating wand washes the underside of the truck from front to back with 3000psi water and steam. After three minutes of this, everything is so hot and relatively clean, it dries fast. Not too bad to work on when not fighting several inches of grease and such eh?Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Green Dash Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 It is an ergonomic designed (comfy) spot to rest your foot while it is doing nothing.Ergonomic = $5.00 word.I'd rather have a functioning pedal that is not connected to anything. We had a 2 pedal truck at work that was used as a spare in an otherwise all manual fleet. I'm lucky i didn't break any bones while slamming my left foot to the floor before turning the key. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19327-interesting-new-trucks/page/7/#findComment-119186 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I like the stainless filler panels on the Titan but in the photo they look like they need a little better alignment under the cab? I think I can see a gap at the rear? Is this panel not attached to the cab and rigid frame mounted?Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
