It'll be a very slow transition. My experience tells me that my lack of experience won't help. That is okay. You want to tread lightly in order to keep the fuel card anyways. I did a quick search on Internet Truckstop and the well is dry as can be. Give me some time and I'll figure it out.

According to those who know a Holland Fifth Wheel is expensive to rebuild. Naturally I have a Holland. For about 150 more or less could get new 5th wheel over rebuilt.

Supposedly Fontaine cheapest to rebuild. On my freightliner I got a Jost 5th wheel it wasn't too bad.

Both our trucks are Hollands now, the kit to rebuild the one we did was $270.85 from our KW dealer back in Feb of '08, plus probably a couple hours labor. We had a Fontaine on a T-800 we used to have, rebuilt it, but I sent the all the paperwork with the truck when we sold it, so I don't know how much the kit for that one was. I remember the 2 different kinds are completely different animals. THe jaws, springs, everything about them is different. If you're going to keep the truck for a while, you're probably as well off to just buy a new one. And unless you're going to rebuild it yourself, the price including labor is probably similar.
