    do you really think it's wise to buy a truck that has had the entire front end crushed and rebuilt? you relly need to think about these things

    OMG so scary. I felt like a total newb when I was driving it last night. There's an Old Dominion driver that was on 20 west last night that who thinks the driver of the blue bob tail was a complete 'tard. I can't believe I'm actually gonna admit this...... it took me 4 tries to pass him. :biggrin_25513: Every time I got close the road would curve and I'd back out of it. In my defense part of the problem is I've been driving these oilfield trucks for too long now. I forgot what it feels like to drive something that doesn't feel like it's going to come apart over 65mph. Or to have steering that actually reacts when I turn the wheel. The Freightliner I was driving has 6-8in of play in the wheel. Ah whatever.... excuses, excuses.... I was a total Pansie last night. :biggrin_2559:

    Although what's even scarier is that it's sitting in the parking lot right now NOT MAKING ANY MONEY. :biggrin_25523:
     
    RW. Thanks this.

    Oh and yes, Scud it's a twin turbo. Don't think about how much it costs to replace them. I'm too hung up on what it might cost to replace the windshield. It's one huge windshield. :biggrin_25521:
