    Oh Horsespit. He's already said he's about broke. He's not in control right now because of that.

    Not having the finances to ride out these times turn mole hills into mountains.

    When I was doing local work we had KW t680 trucks with the mx13 and I believe a pacar automatic transmission. Pulling 100k-106k daily in town they were only getting 100-150k miles on the clutch before it would start to slip.

    I'm sure the fuel savings more than covered the cost on that though ;)

    I talked to the company and I can skip payments. Renting a truck doesn’t seem like it will be worth it. I talked to the dealership and they said the clutch will arrive in 1-2 weeks.

    Using credit cards and preserving cash in the bank. I have less than 20k and I’m very nervous. I have a mortgage on my rental that needs to have 5k in the bank because the rent doesn’t come in when the mortgage is due. I rent individual bedrooms in California. Yes. I have tried to make the rent come before the mortgage but it doesn’t work. You have people moving in and out at different times etc.

    Skipping a payment or 2 is worth it when necessary like in your case, but it will add finance interest at the end.

    Appreciate it, but I’m already committed to the warranty work. Not just by choice but financial reasons.

    That’s the truth. Used most of the savings for the downpayment on this truck and trailer. Worst time it could’ve happened!

    I think I'd pay to overnight the clutch in so you can get running. Two weeks lost revenue is a killer in your situation.
