CF-700 series attack engine Fire apparatus gallery. MC Previous models AC The heavy-duty AC, with its well-known tapered hood, was the truck which started the bulldog theme. A 377 cu in (6.2 L) 4 cylinder gasoline engine 4X2 with chain drive, it was strong, reliable, and worked well in rough terrain. Introduced in 1916, there was a great demand because of World War I, over 6000 ​ 3 1⁄ 2-, ​ 5 1⁄ 2-, and ​ 7 1⁄ 2-ton trucks were built for the UK and US military. There were also commercial sales from 1916; the AC was well suited for logging and construction work. A larger version, the AP, built between 1926 and 1938, was an off-road haul truck used on Boulder Dam and other large projects.

40,299 ACs had been built when production ended in 1939. N Series The N Series was Mack's first military design, large 6 and 7 1/2 ton 6X6 artillery prime movers. Between its development in the late 1930s and the beginning of production in 1940 US military requirements changed and the truck was not needed. All NMs and most of the larger NOs were exported as foreign aid. After World War II the NO was developed into the successful M 123 semi-tractor. B series The models were Mack's primary vehicle from its introduction in 1953 until it was replaced by the R Series in 1966.

They ranged in size from the medium duty B20P gas powered 4X2 to the oversized B873SX turbo-diesel 6X6. B Models were commonly used as semi tractors and in the construction industry. They were also used as fire engines and trucks, sometimes with the roof of the cab removed.

127,786 B Models were built. R/RB/RD/RL/RM/RW, U, DM/DMM series. This section does not any. Unsourced material may be challenged and. (June 2008) Mack started to produce the (R, RW, and U models) in 1966 for highway use, and the RD, DM, and all wheel drive RM and DMM models for construction use. The lightweight RL model followed in 1967, the RW Superliner with a large, rectangular hood and grill in 1977, and the setback front axle RB in the 1990s.

All these models featured the same cab; the U, DM, and DMM had the cab offset to the left. In the 1990s, the R, RW, and U series models were discontinued and the RB was introduced, mostly for severe-duty applications. The hood was modified slightly for the model RB. 2004 was the last year for the RD, and 2006 for the RB and DM. The DM was the last model to use this cab style, and was the last model of this family to be produced. As a replacement for the construction models, Mack started to offer the Granite, Granite Bridge-Formula and Granite Axle-back. Also this model is serving in the Mexican Army as a Troop and Utility Truck in configuration 6X6 OR 6X4 Engines By 1916 Mack was producing 4- and 6-cylinder gasoline engines, and through 2014 continued to offer their own, in the form of three diesel I6s.

Engines by other manufacturers were often optional, supplied over the years by, and. Mack started making diesels in 1938, in 1957 the END and turbocharged ENDT 673 diesel were introduced. This 672 cu in (11.0 L) I6 engine family was successful, and remained in production for over 30 years. In the early 1960s, Walter May, executive vice president of product and engineering at Mack Trucks HQ in Allentown, PA., prioritized research and development of a high-torque rise engine. Winton Pelizzoni, chief engineer at the Mack Trucks powertrain facility in Hagerstown, MD., designed an innovative engine based on this concept and then led development of the prototype that went into production. The engine was introduced as an inline six in 1966, as a V8 in 1970, and as the intercooled inline six 300 series in 1973. This was an industry-changing event.

The Maxidyne, with an operating range of 1200–2100 R.P.M, and later 1050–1700 R.P.M., allowed a heavy Class 8 truck to be operated with a 5 speed (Maxitorque) transmission. Previously, heavy trucks typically operated between 1800-2100R.P.M. And were equipped with 10 or more gears.

In 2014 Mack offers three engine series, the 11 L MP 7, 13 L MP8, and 16 L MP10, with 325 hp (242 kW) to 605 hp (451 kW) and 1,200 lb⋅ft (1,627 N⋅m) to 2,060 lb⋅ft (2,793 N⋅m). Other products Mack also produced railroad cars and locomotives between 1905 and 1930. Trademark The company's trademark is the, which can be found on the front of almost all Mack trucks.

A gold-plated bulldog indicates the truck was made with a Mack produced drive train, engine, transmission and drive axles. A chrome bulldog indicates other manufacturers' components were used. Mack trucks earned their nickname during, when the government purchased the Mack AC for supplying its front lines. Its pugnacious, blunt-nosed hood, tenacious performance, and durability, reminded the soldiers of their country's mascot, the.

The EH, EHU (cabover) and semi-tractor models EHT and EHUT were used by the US Army in Europe. Over 2,400 were built in 1942. The LMSW was a commercial design 10 ton (9,072 kg) 6x4 chassis adapted for military wreckers, most were exported to Great Britain. The NJU (G-639) series were military design 5 ton (5,443 kg) 4x4 semi-tractors used to tow bridging pontoons and equipment. Several other manufactures built standardized models of similar trucks, so only 700 were produced in 1941–1942.

The (G-535) and (G-532) series were military design 6 ton (5,443 kg) and ​ 7 1⁄ 2 ton (6,803 kg) 6x6 artillery prime movers. All NMs and most of the larger NOs were exported as foreign aid. Over 8,400 NMs and 2,000 NOs were built between 1940 and 1944. The NR series were military design 10 ton (5,443 kg) 6x4 cargo trucks.

The (G-744) series, which includes the M54 cargo truck, were a standardized military design 5 ton (4,536 kg) 6x6 chassis, with many models. Mack developed a competing design, when the M39 was standardized Mack built a relatively small number of M51 dump trucks. In the early 1960s they took part in a short lived program to retrofit some of the series with Mack END 672 engines. The (G-792) were standardized military design 10 ton (9,072 kg) 6x6 semi tractors and artillery prime movers. Designed by Mack, using many components from the NO series. Mack built 392 M123s, used with a lowboy trailer to recover and transport tanks, and all 552 M125s, between 1955 and 1957.

Later follow-up orders called for 420 M123s and retrofitted 210 more with Cummins engines.

Try calling the Mack brand at +1 (866) 298-6586. I'm sure Volvo will fall all over themselves trying to help you (sarcasm on my part).

You have what would be a good truck (Renault Midlum).if acceptable after-sales support was still available in North America. It isn't.not even close. Candidly speaking, you should sell it at the first opportunity, as parts will always have to be ordered, cost a fortune, and most mechanics have no experience working on it. Let it break someone else. Thanks, I will check for Renault Midlum manual since cab and engine are Renault made. Let's hope the initial low cost will cover the upkeep. Propriety issues with Renault?

Or Renault didn't leave sufficient documentation to work with. The medium-duty Freedom, based on the global market Renault Midlum., was launched in 2001. The Midlum was replaced by the D Range in 2013. Volvo took full control of Renault and Mack in 2001. In 2003, Volvo decided to terminate the Freedom and walk away from medium-duty in North America (Mack had profited greatly from the Renault-produced Mid-Liner medium truck range from 1979).

So the Freedom was only sold for 3 years, and hasn't been sold for 15 years. Also, Volvo Group's unofficial policy is not to support trucks over 10 years of age. It's a great truck, but the owner of the Mack name, Volvo, has no interest in supporting it in North America. Renault Trucks does a superb job with after-sales support in the global market, but has no presence in North America.

Makes sense, I contacted Renault UK, for the kicks of it. Since as you said, Renault doesn't seem to have an office in North America. The truck in general doesn't seem to be in bad condition by the looks of it at least.
