They were inline 6 turbocharged engines that ranged from 237hp to 350hp.

Only Mack engines were available in the R600 series. Ok, do you have any ideas, what actual engine and tranny it could have? When I say 'actual' I mean 'make and model'.lol Thanks! My fault,as I never was big truck specialist. and it a quad box gearbox which was only used from i think 1975 ish to 1980 so yeah. This is a 1979 mack R600 because it only has two head lights on the front, from 1982 onwards they had 4 head lights and cause the truck cab is early 1970's cause up till about 1979 they used the old style roof clearance lamps. Maxitorque is Mack's gearbox line-up and doesn't have anything to do with engines! Coolpower is an engine range, as is the CCRS, Econodyne, Thermodyne and Maxidyne! Nightrider wrote I suspect, that Coolpower name came from larger number of intercoolers and more power, than on Econodyne setup. This R-600 was made in Australia as a RHD truck, not imported in and converted!

And most trucks in Australia had twin stacks on the exhaust until later years when 6 inch plus diameter exhaust tube became common. The coolpower and maxidyne engines had an air filter just for the intercooler air flow so the intercooler stayed clean, as this was a 'box' type mounted on top of the engine, cooled by a little turbine driven by bleed air from the main pressurized engine charge air, which drew air through the left hand air filter and blew it through the intercooler. Secondly, Twin stacks and Twin air filters means diddly squat as to what's hiding under the bonnet. OK, just to set the record straight a bit here, a 'coolpower' was called that because it was the first to use an air to air intercooler, rather than an air to water aftercooler, or as in most early Macks, no charge air cooling at all. What kind of trailer is connected to it in the ist place ?ДЇirst the one on the picture, kind of flatbed with grilles. with 11 sixes and 6 V8 optional.ДЄnd alot of modern truck came with dual stacks and air cleaners, although they equipped with 6 Twin stacks and air cleaners makes it a V8, which would make it an R 700

They only had the one truck when filming the movie because when they come to the rollover they only had one shot at it There were a few trucks used for filming. The cool power was a engine level like the maxidyne, ecnodyne etc. I suspect, that Coolpower name came from larger number of intercoolers and more power, than on Econodyne setup.Д®conodyne name still in use, but Coolpower replaced by Maxitorque or something similar,I just don't remember Why didn't they use 'Coolpower' in the U.S.? Actually, it's a fitting name, because Mack trucks are cool & powerful.

The only part I've seen in this movie on tv is the truck scene. I plan to rewatch the movie soon to add few pictures, and add some missing vehicles Yes, they use it to pull a tanker, but on the scene pictured above Max starts the abandonned truck that he found on the road to bring it back to the refinery to connect the trailer to it. On exterior close-ups old style dash also clearly visible.ДЄlthough I know, that they use stunt double truck,which was totalled in end of chase.Д«TW, 'Coolpower' is just a designation of engine/turbo setup, not model or trim level. Or used another vehicle for interior shots. Down under they might have retained the old dashboard design. Sure, but since this is in Oz, it is a RHD conversion. Although hood/fenders seems to be post-'73,in interior shot we can see pre-'73 dash.
