    You would have to talk to Erich at ss60 for the details. I know that it's not just the ecm. I think turbo, manifold and injectors are involved.

    I seem to be gravitating more towards the large jobs or more of a dedicated type of hauling than spot market freight. Might not be the best money in the world but it is steady and not the $1.25 freight either.

    I remember a couple years ago we were paving about 50 miles from the hot plant. Hauled two loads and made the boss about $1200 because of how long we had to sit and wait for the paving crew. It was a 10 hour day.

    After some searching, $1100 for a used radiator. I think it was it in the day before the wrecking yard got it. Inside is that clean
