Payments. It's getting the reman and I hope to run it for 500k miles. It needs at least one cyl sleeve, since the sleeve replacement is a different style, they are going to resleeve all 6, as I understand

I'm having the air compressor and DPF replaced as well. Maybe the DOC? I'm not sure if the egr gets replaced or not

I've been skateboarding to both coasts out of the midwest for four years. Having driven for companies, wanting to work for myself, I up and bought my own truck. 2011 pro star, cummins x15, eaton 10 spd. 400k miles. Truck made it @ 1400 miles from home when it managed to die in rather spectacular fashion. Shop is knee-deep in reman on my (8 day "new" ) truck.
While you chuckle, or choke on your preferred morning beverage, let me 'splain my apparently poor choice in a truck.
I chose the cheapest truck I could find. Having never used such logic to make a major financial purchase, I had met a few people that were very successful using said logic to purchase trucks. At least, that's what they told me while cooking my food for me at various truck stops I've frequented these last four years.
The truck was parked way in the back of the dealership (behind the shop,) was really clean, and didn't have one of those "money pit" apu's installed, so I figured it'd be so much cheaper to maintain. Because the truck was pre-def, I wouldn't be burdened with all that after-treatment down-time and expense you guys are always writing about on here.
Because I'm such a nice guy, good looking and all, the salesman was most helpful, and I really enjoyed the purchase experience.
"Money in the bank" I told my wife long ago last week. Since I got off my flight home yesterday, I've heard those words repeated back to me more than a few times by said wife (for the time being she now adds,) with far different meaning.
Since the first load I contracted to haul was going up to Northwest MT, I brought an extra blanket for what I figured would be a few chilly nights in the bunk.
I learned a few things up there in the great state of Montana, yes, learn I did.
I learned what an historic "Arctic cold front" feels like. It's rather indescribable to those who haven't experienced one in the cab of a ten year old, broken down semi with no apu, on a Friday night at 4600+ feet of elevation. My testicles are still buried deep in my belly, despite my being thawed out for several days, which is a good thing I'm thinking, as the aforementioned wife is sure to remove them if and when they do reappear.
I'm gonna go get my truck when those excellent mechanics are finished repairing it next year.
I need some advice, so I figured I'd ask more knowledgable people, like you guys. Trucker repair types, and you have great answers, really. I cant be the first guy to get this lucky?
First, I'm gonna need a good divorce lawyer. Probably a cheap one, like cheapest one I can find.
Most likely gonna need a new wife, a "cheap date" kinda lady, one that likes eunuchs, probably.
Do you know any gently-used, handsome, frugal, single women in MT?

Hang Up truck driving and write a satirical fictional book about truck driving.
