Mid 90’s Kenworth w900L??

I felt like I tried in my 1st post to help you .. but it was easy to see your another 1 of them guys that doesn't care to listen to anybody even though your the 1 asking for opinions
So you go broke and 7 months later gota pocket full of money to spend !!
How does that work ?
Never mind don't answer that cause your just gonna try to blow smoke up my ares..
I'am pretty sure I know the story ..
Guys like you deserve what's coming to ya .. hope you sleep well hiding under the chapter 13 blanket

 

I'd spend a little more and look for as new as you can afford Coronado glider kits. Parts are cheap and everywhere, you can find decent shops in most places, that have s60 knowledge, if I could import one north I'd replace my aging columbia glider with one in a heartbeat.

 

We see people like you every cycle and considering you got in 7 months ago clearly you aren’t the brightest. Did those YouTube videos get you into trucking lmao.

 

Far as buying a used truck….

I bought this 95 Glider with a blown engine, spent 18 months and nearly $13K in parts going over what I knew would cause problems…. Brakes = ( slack adjusters, camshafts, brake chambers, drums ) seals, bearings, air lines, clutch, suspension = ( air bags, upper bag mounts, shocks, sway bar bushings ) rebuilt engine, Ujoints, and a few other little things.

With a used truck you’ll continuously find something if you look hard enough.

Do what you feel is right for you, but shop cautiously.

My bucket of bolts ain’t perfect, but it works all the time, and needs attention like a lonely bar fly….

 

No need to respond to naysayers.
Do what you have to get ahead.
Congratulations on adding to the fleet. Obviously your doing something that works.
You must have funds for repairs.

Coronado.
Columbia
Classic.
Fld all good platforms for regional work and maybe long haul.

 

The FLDs were so common, all through the 90’s, they chose to flood the market and take top sales numbers away from International. They built them around the clock, at 3 factories. In 2000, when the economy tanked, Freightliner repos were everywhere, since they had been selling them for 0 dn. with $1000 fuel cash to boot. With acres of repos, the old FLDs became almost worthless. Selling for $3000-$10,000. A whole lot of them went to Mexico. I’d guess at one time over half the Trucks on the road were FLDs. In 99, Swift bought a bunch of Classics. The most common Truck sold in 99 was a white Classic. I bought a 99 repo in 2000 for $69k, a yr later in summer 2002 a friend bought a 2000 loaded Classic leather interior w/70k miles for $59k. He got the deal of the Century. Almost all had Detroit’s. Cats were rare, N14s were also popular, but most 12.7’s . They could be bought for about $49k or less at auction. About half the original price new. I think Trucks peaked out in 95, till 2002. After that they’re over engineered. Another reason the FLDs resale suffered was because they were integrated cab/sleepers. Volvo’s were the first, before Freightliner. Pete’s and KW weren’t integrated till mid 90’s? Resale was higher with a removable bunk, more of a market for day cabs. Freightliner actually opened a factory and started converting repo’d road Trucks into Day cabs, selling them for roughly $60k. Yellow Freight bought them instead of new, first time ever buying used.
