Waiting on New Trucks thread.

Same as all i order, pretty much everything.
Scrounged up one APU, might be a week or so for the other one.
Trying to get the blue one done before Monday so the driver can switch out.

 

Bob tailing over for the APU it felt like riding in an old Chysler Imperial. LOL Big floater, push button transmission, only thing missing is the square steering wheel.
As long as the drivers are happy.

 

Reached a deal on my new to us truck. 140K miles.

 

Love the way mine floats have 231" and rides as smooth as almost any new car.

 

It rides nice. Hope they have everything done tomorrow so i can switch out the drivers over the weekend. They really whine when their new truck is sitting there and they have to wait another week. LOL

 

Placed an order for a WS 47X about a month ago. Was told at the time it'd be early next year. Just got an update for September this year. Not sure if a slot opened up or the market is changing.

 

Those are some good numbers. Glad to see that the new TK are working out for you guys. My battery APU from TK has been holding up just fine as well. July week 1
9.2
Week 2
8.4
Week 3
8.7
Week 4 so far
8.7

So I believe truck is starting to break in now.

 

Great to see those numbers, can't wait to get the new truck in Oct/Nov. Especially since this one is starting to need way more nickels than I wanted to spend in the last couple months. New batteries, alternator, now yoke and rear transmission seal. I can see why 450K trades are the norm in the industry.

 

Good deal. I wondered when you’d start spec’ing w/ APUs . Immediate savings, especially now. Between Driver comfort, convenience, fuel savings, and increased resale. It’s a must have item. No different than building a new energy efficient house. High efficiency furnace, extra insulation, etc. Cost a little more upfront, but the payback is immediate. Short term and long term, it’s a win win. I’d much rather buy a 3-4 yr. old Truck w/an apu. Knowing it hadn’t been idled.
