    I bought my truck from Lone mountain as well. They allowed me to have it dyno and DOT. They said they would fix or replace the truck depending on what and if anything failed.

    The process was easy and there were no games. If I ended up not liking the unit I reserved with a deposit they would've given it back. And I didn't like the truck I reserved at all when I got there. I pick another kind.

    I finid them easy to work with and they offer payment flexibility by moving the due date if needed for a $50 fee. Like skateboard I am leased to a great company (Mercer) and never had to take them up on it. Also if you ask real nice they may sell you deep discounted virgin tires.. Just a tip for ya

    if you can find what fleet had the truck (most of the time you can tell) call that company and talk to their breakdown and see what they can tell you.......

    I did that and got all but 80,000 miles of the repair history.... 0-440k when they sold it. it had 512k when I got it

    Marten runs 10spd and 9 spd convertible to 13 so it is possible.
