Price catalogue for new Trucks?

There isn't one. Try the truck paper, custom search, check new only, should bring in a few.

how much for a new vn 78? 90 to 150K, depends on motor, trans and all the other options, list price don't mean anything.

 

If you have cash, it can mean the difference between a couple grand for used trucks to well over ten grand for new trucks. A recent search shows Volvo VN780's averaging 125K brand new with KW T660's around there too. Frieghtliner Cascadias are averaging 118K. I have a feeling the Prostars from international are going to be between the Volvo and Freightliner for pricing. All these prices do not include out the door pricing just averages. You can get a good used truck for around 75-80K that includes the warranty.

glider kits save 30,000 with a non emission reman engine and 3 -4 mpg more i know a guy with around 30 freightliners all gliders do the math

 

How long can those reman motors that they put in the gliders last for.

 

They're more than likely the old pre-emissions engines from before the october 2003 mandates. Meaning they're good for 1 million plus with routine maintinence. Reman doesn't mean it's junk. It's a old engine that's been overhauled and either just like or better than brand new off the assembly line. They're far superior to any engine that's been made since '04.

 

Yea, I was telling someone else in another thread about a diesel mechanic that was telling me about a friend of his that was talking about buying a new truck and he told him to hold off till they came up with a better system. He was telling me that these new motors coming out had 30 sum sencors at 300 bucks each on the motors alone. He also told me that if I wanted to buy a rebuild kit for say a mechanical 318 detroit it would take about 6 months to get 1 because the military bought them all up. He said his buddy in the military told him that the mechanical motors were far more dependable than the newer ones, and they didnt have to worry about EPA, because if they tried to regulate them, the government would start regulating the EPA. So the EPA dont fool with them. Something to think about there when you go and look at those high priced rigs. Our technollogy is far surpassing our economy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not all electronic engines are bad. I don't know exactly when they hit the scene (electronic) and I've only been driving for 9 years but the electronic engines I've driven prior to oct '03 were execellent with regards to fule economy, performance and reliability. Except for my cousin's big cam 400 in a liberty edition '85 kenworth that I drove around the block a few times I've never driven anything mechanical. I believe the '00-'03 engines were the zenith of heavy duty diesel technology as far as economy and performance. From what I've seen the newer engines have a lot of catching up to do with those engines.

 

This is my plan for my truck when I get the itch for something new. I'll keep my 02' N14 till I die as long as nothing happens to the block. I've been looking for Binder gliders for future reference but the only thing I've found is Pete's and shakers.
