    The t800, and now the 880, has pretty much been standard for construction/off road the last few decades for a reason, personally I would go with a small bunk though, 46 rears with 4.10-4.33s, 18 speed, I’ve heard the 565/2050 x15s pull about the same as the 605s but are easier on fuel, truth or not I don’t know, just what I’ve heard…

    not trying to say it wrong but a majority of drivers have no idea what it t

    Mine will have wings and a good relationship with the air traffic controllers. I plan to pull LTL and windmill blades with a 20 footer container and 40 jeeps (to save on battery)

    Whatever the best shop around you works on. Every truck breaks down regardless of the name. The shop that gets you in and gets it fixed right the first time is what will keep you profitable. Brand loyalty is a waste of time.

    There is the problem right there! Most shops hire 6 whisker kids for $12.00 per hour that have no clue. They just plug in the scanner and throw parts at it. Sad........How many stories are posted on here where a COMPANY DRIVER has had his/her truck in the COMPANY SHOP numerous times for the SAME PROBLEM?? Gets 30 miles down the road.....same problem.....over and over.

    I only go to people with a mustache only that makes 15 an hour. I always end up with less problems but problems nonetheless
