wow atleast u know the history of it sounds like that truck is ready to retire but hey if its paid off and the tires still turning then keep adding to its resume lol. u should call peterbilt, they may put u and ur truck on there website lol maybe even give u a new truck lol

 

why would I retire it? I just started working it. Trucks never wear out as long as you keep them maintained. I guarantee everything on my truck has been rebuilt or replaced more then once. It's still cheaper then a $2k a month truck payment

 

good point and its always nice to see an older truck on the road specially an old pete

What kind of overhaul are we talking about and how much $$$?

 

Your freakin' awesome, man. Tell CA to shove it!

How much in serious maintenance am I looking at to get a reliable piece of machinery, MM? Oh, and how do you pass emission standards and all that junk? Can I buy an old cheap truck and rebuild it "like new?" Obviously not like the real thing, but close and reliable...?

I heard something about EPA duking it out to make 1999 trucks get some new exhaust pipe that reduces C02. Strange... they never test my C02 when I'm kicking out 6 minute mile pace down the country road.

 

Pretty sure they're talking about an in-frame overhaul... $10k+

Try not to think about it...

 

pharm my inframe will run about $10k. one of these new motors can easily run $20k

there is no emissions anywhere but CA, not yet anyways. screw CA, let them starve. you should see the cool old iron they are scraping. it's on youtube

for $80k I can get you a better then new 359 pete. and it's a number classic too

 

lol im sure phil wanted to hear that MM. u prolly got him shaking in his boots with that '05 engine of his lol

 

If it blows out on the road $20k is very likely. that's with the 25% "you aint got a choice" tax.
