Yeah, I'm planning on running on KLLM'S base plate and ins. 'til I can put some money aside for maintenance and Insurance. I'm going home next week to pay the 2290 fee, that no one can seem to tell me what that fee is for. (Cost of doing business I guess).

The 2290 fee is a Highway Heavy Vehicle tax. All trucks have to have it paid in order to get the plates. For a standard 80,000 plated registration the cost is $550 a year, but if the vehicle is used for logging or lesser weight the amount is reduced some. The money is suppose to be used for highway repair, but we all know that doesn't happen.

 

Hey Rob, you got something that most people don't get in this industry. You got a second chance to do things better. Armed with the knowledge taught to you by the Good Samaritan wrench, and the recollections of the self inflicted pain of the first go round, I think you will fare much better this time. Good luck to you.

 

Mitch, I really think that if it were me, I wouldn't worry quite so much about the cost as I would the condition. Additionally, since you are obviously content with an older truck and are willing and able to do repairs yourself, there is no doubt in my mind that I would buy an '03 or older pre-emissions truck. These trucks are more efficient, more reliable due to less BS parts to fail, and are MUCH cheaper to repair than the newer trucks.

 

at a boy hippo boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,now your cooking,keep up on your done gone maint!!!! two things hippo boy,,,learn from your last miss hap and keep your books up!!!! and i wish you all the luck!!!! do what i wasnt able to accomplish!!!!!!!!!!! do it right

 

If you are not already running the truck, don't pay the 2290 until after the 1st of the year to keep from paying the whole 4th quarter for a few days use.

 

no more sun roofs okay!!!

 

no convertible either.
