GearheadGrrrl Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Who says modern Macks are wimpy?If the photo comes through, please note a new MR with 3 steering axles in front and a trio of Mack driving axles in back. Under the cab is the new MP engine, and it and the new particulate filter are quite unobstructive. It looks like the cab hasn't had to be raised at all to accomodate the new motor, and it sticks out the back even less than the E7 did. This one and the others in the background are probaly headed for the concrete pumper manufacturer Schwing, located a few miles away.

Mack 3P Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 The trucks in the photo are not the MRU "Terrapro". The DPF and aux cooling are not present on the truck. They are concrete pumpers though. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2135-proof-that-modern-macks-aint-wimpy/#findComment-10464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 I think you're right- this must be a late 2006 build with the MP engine and 2004 emmissions compliance and the old front grill. The yard they were parked in was pretty busy so I didn't have the pleasure of looking over the trucks in detail, just had time to oogle the axles and a verify the MP engine and Mack transmission and tridem drive axles.BTW, were the triple steering axles factory fitted by Mack?

Mack 3P Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 The Mod Center usually can do things like that. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2135-proof-that-modern-macks-aint-wimpy/#findComment-10480 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GearheadGrrrl Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 The picture was taken at my local Mack dealer in Roseville (suburb of St.Paul), and their lot is always full of MRs on their way to Schwing's nearby U.S. plant.
