REOGasMackDiesel Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) From what I heard watching a Mack titan video these are to be some serious duty tractor chassie trucks. 11mm frames with 5MM doubling ? ! MP10@605hp/2050tq ? ! What about axles ? Heaviest I saw on Macks website was 46K-lB rears ? Shouldn't this rig be capable of 65+K rears ? ! Somebody once mentioned they offer a 110K-LB set for this truck ? ! Did the heavy axles get dropped ? Or were they never offered ?Mike Edited March 12, 2013 by REOGasMackDiesel Quote 1953 REO M48.1962 GMC 3000.1969 AMC AMX-390.1983 AMC Eagle SX/4.1988 AMC Jeep Comanche.

kscarbel Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Here's some information regarding your question.Production of the 110,000lb Mack Planidrive planetary hub reduction axles ended with the termination of the off-highway range (Worldwide Equipment took over responsibility for that product). 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30384-heavy-duty-macks/#findComment-171820 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking about new stuff NOT the old stuff.MikeThe privately run Macungie Modifications Center is doing Sisu planetary hub reduction axle installs for U.S. dealers. They're a factory-installed option in Australia (take a look at the AU Titan spec sheet).The mod center is run by TransEdge Truck Centers, who also operates the former Mack Trucks Allentown factory branch (It was appropriately called Allentown Mack until 2006 when ownership starting buying up other Mack dealers and created the trendy new name for their megadealer).Back in the days of Mack Trucks, the Allentown branch (1407 Bulldog Drive) was a beehive of activity, processing new trucks for Chemical Leaman, Matlack, Air Products, Penske and other major fleet accounts in the area. The adjacent modifications center was also built and operated by Mack Trucks (which was inherently better since it was all one team).

MackMann85 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 The Modification Center isnt privately owned or run it is company owned just read the article in bulldog magazine from last year. The titan can have 65 mack tandems or 69 meritor tri drive. I found this stuff on macks website which has good info if you dig around. i didnt find much on front axles Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30384-heavy-duty-macks/#findComment-171846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackMann85 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I think Mack3P seeming to be a factory worker ought to be able to confirm this for sure (about mod center not being dealer run) Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30384-heavy-duty-macks/#findComment-171873 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackMann85 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 That makes sense. The dealer has their own modification center which shares a similar name to the one at the factory. See the line that says they have a "close location to the macungie plant"/ The factory modification center is located under the factory roof and run by corporate, that much i saw myself during a public tour. they probably do similar work, so you just have to decide if you want it done at the factory or at a dealer. i could imagine benefits of both Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30384-heavy-duty-macks/#findComment-171878 Share on other sites More sharing options...

REOGasMackDiesel Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 I tired to share the video from you tube but it didn't show up. The video said nothing about it being a planetary axle or anything that detailed just that 85K and 110K coming soon. Now given it was dated 8/09 I figured the 85 and 110 axles would be around by now ? ! Some post all willy nilly, I try to keep my questions posted correctly. Modern stuff in the modern section and vintage in the vintage section. So modern day Mack's were the subject Mike Quote 1953 REO M48.1962 GMC 3000.1969 AMC AMX-390.1983 AMC Eagle SX/4.1988 AMC Jeep Comanche.

MackMann85 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 an internet search found two titans with 110K axle tech rear tandems at a canada dealer so to answer your question yes that is an available option now Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30384-heavy-duty-macks/#findComment-171892 Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveigou Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Anyone recognize this cut off rear bogie from a DM-600 block truck? Photo was taken in 2001.DM-600 cut off.JPGRickAll right, I'll stick my neck out here. Looks like some kind of a hybrid, Hendrickson springs and hangers with a Mack walking beam. Looks like 60" or better spacing.

MackMann85 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Sounds like we reached a consensus then, 2 modifications centers. One run privately at the allentown dealer and one run by corporate at the macungie factory.
