Mack688 That is a kick@ss setup you have. That is exactly the kind of setup I am looking to get.

I missed out on a few good older macks though, those things go like hotcakes!

My trailer is also a triaxle instead of duals. boo!

Here are some of the trucks I have driven. The Mack is a 2005 and this is when it was new. The KW is a 2001 and this is it at about a year old. I just drive the things, the money is in the seat not the title.

Hey Dirt Hauler I like those Granites and that Rd model. That company was featured in an issue of Macks Bulldog magazine a couple issues ago eh? I love Macks. I was always a Mack man but my 2000 E7 460 was such a disappointment and I got such a good deal on my Binder I switched in 2005. I really like the new Granites though. And that Titan may be enough to lure me back. Some of the past Macks I've driven were a couple 350 R models (dump and tractors) and a couple E9 500 Superliners and an E9 500 Ultraliner cabover with a five axle Raglan hydraglide dump trailer. Here's a pic of one of the old R Models. The dump box and pony were pretty shabby looking in this pic. That salt sure took a toll. Had to blast and paint every couple years.
