Good Night From II

Looks like a DB Curtis truck out of Utah

 

What year and make is the engine? That’s the main thing.

 

Funny you mention it, found one of thier trucks in vegas but it had sold. They mount their stack forward on that one. But they have a certain paint scheme that sticks out and generally sell them as is. Cause ive seen more than one of thier up for sell they don't bother repainting.

This one is a fleet somewhere near Boisie, whoevers it was they Intentionally resprayed the truck to get thier paint scheme off. Whoever it came from we are betting tanker, got a PTO. Though not the only possibility.

 

Paccar MX13 model 1700-500 2016. Not my first choice. But im aware of the issues abd have even learned how to prevent many of them

 

In the shop Thursday and it is finally done late Monday.
This is the second time I have been down 5+ days for repairs with this International, and both times it was something with the DEF system.
Why can't these places keep a better inventory of parts on hand? Seems everything has to be ordered, probably from China on the slowest boat.

Oh well, at least I was able to help my sister with the moving this time. Not to mention cleaning the old apartment. She has always gotten stuck with it in the past because of the timing of my home times.

I can't get to the truck until around mid-day Tuesday due to her schedule, and I'm really looking forward to hitting the road again.

 

Well nothing's ever as easy as it seems. I held off on signing. My buissness partner whos a old diesel mechanic, heard a mid range sag in the video I sent him today. We are going to take one more look in the morning. And im gonna lock eyes on that Tach. I got too excited and i missed it but he didn't. How he heard it ill never know, glad he did.

I hope we were both just hearing things and we will see in the morning.

But it was in pretty decent shape other than that. Test drive went fantastic the 18 was virgin tight through the entire sequence. Not to say that I was perfectly in rhythm through the whole thing but didn't do terrible according to the dealer. They capped off the pto on the transmission. Also I found out whose Fleet it belonged to. The truck flew and had more to give.

Gossee Transportation out of Fruitland ID.

Heres some boots on the ground photos. Like I said final verdict in the morning. If its bad news im gonna fly to Sioux Falls SD to check out some T800Ws.

While I got the time to look, I might as well look. 500$ might save me 20K so I don't care anymore.

Going to curb the enthusiasm tomorrow.


Gonna take a look at a W900 while im here. Theres potewntial in it, but theres questions that would need answers.

 

Mechanics are generally off on the weekends at the dealers ... especially since Covid.
