    He bought another one half a year later on a 330" wb, somehow, lost that too. #### thing was 190k new. He hated it that his 600 would get eaten by my 550 3406E muahahahahaha.

    How do you lose something that big? Someone is bound to see it somewhere.

    Honestly i would look for a 97-99 W900 or 379, yes the fuel millage might be lower but these trucks are trouble free and rock solid, yes 3406E for power, 25k will get you a nice one with all work done. Screw this century crap with its electronics and all these problems, at least when i open the hood i can service the trans.

    I wouldn't suggest any truck if your talking about keeping it on with Arnold. But then again you didn't listen to me about working there either lol
