My experiences with Lone Mountain

can you please tell me if i would have to purchase insurance in order to get that truck dynoed/inspected in Tifton, GA

 

I don't think you would if you get that done locally in Tifton. be ask the folks at Tifton to be sure. things may have changed is the reason I say that. I didn't have to at the time

 

you will need insurance to drive it off the lot.... as in NOT a test drive


when you are on a test drive the dealers insurance covers the truck BUT when you are driving around (dyno/dot/other truck dealer) that is not a test drive

spend money having the truck checked out...... it will save you money in the long run...

i called the company that had the truck when it was new and got the repair history from 0 miles till they traded it at 450,000 so the only repair history i don't know is from 450k-512k
I had the dyno done passed the day I got it and the dot.... failed the dot.... lone mountain fixed the prob
pulled oil samples from the trans and both diff.... paid fedex overnight to get them to the lab.... all came back good
went to a front end shop and had 3 axle alignment and check the frame
went to the Volvo dealer and paid for 10 hr's and had the truck checked from bumper to bumper

that was 453,000 miles ago...... truck has 965,744 on it now still runs good, uses 1 gl of oil ever 20,000, have i had breakdowns YES (it's a truck) nothing i couldn't cover..... biggest was a turbo, and a clutch

yes i did just pay it off and the title will be home when i get home next week........

 

I had an advantage, they left the dealer tag in the truck I had finally settled on, still had it when I drove home and mailed it back to em.

 

I just talked to my sales rep, and she said i did not need imsurance to inspect truck, i just need to leave the down payment. Thanks

 

lone mountain great people to work with lots of help for the drivers

 

my truck had 512k on it when I picked it up..... have never had any motor work done on it other then having the over head run only trans work was a new clutch, only repair over $4,000 was the turbo.... took this pic 3 weeks ago
