    Sucks this happened after I already ordered the new truck AND it's waiting on me in Arkansas. If I hadn't ordered one I would probably have run this one another 16 months after dumping the money in it. Drives better than it did when I first bought it. Feels like a new truck.

    It is brand new. They're giving me a really good value for my current truck and with a small amount out of my pocket, the new truck is only 400.00 a month more than the current one. I spec'd it out for maximum MPG and that will more than offset the slightly higher cost. When I get it and get my logo on I'll get some pictures on here and reveal what it is.

    the Amsoil system you received, was it the bmk30??
    the website doesn't show any parts. What does the kit come with?

    If it's like the kit for my pickup it comes with everything you need. Hoses and misc fittings. The only thing it didn't come with was a bracket for mounting the oil filter housing had to fab that.

    That is it. It comes with everything you need including the filter.

    Got a nice deal lined up next week; I'll be running export chickens to New Orleans and deadhead back, paid round trip. The plan is do 3 of them and that'll be 7800.00 for the week. It'll be nice to run the new truck on something easy so I can get used to it. It goes to ThermoKing tomorrow to get the APU on and all of my permits and stuff should be done by Monday.

    Hope that works out for you. Every time I managed to agree on something like this it never lasted for even a week. I was being competitive too. I wasn't being a dick about the rates as I usually am. Brokers can never be trusted in these kind of arrangements. I have yet to see one in 7 years that wouldn't toss you under the bus over $25 or $50. Brokers are best cut out of the picture entirely if dedicated is what you want, IMO.
