    Is this going to the next Lone mountain complaint story?
    Or is this going to be "who should I lease to?
    Modern truck are not nice when they decide to break without warranty.

    I don't know where you are going. OR what you are doing?

    There are a million ways to build a truck. A truck is not a car where you go ooo stylish. all mine. Oh no. A truck is a fine tuned machine. It will either make you happy or make you cry. Then broke.

    Have you driven anything at all? Spent at least ten years as a company driver? Do you have 6 months working capital to endure the hard times and the good times? Can you fix a blown engine with a 60,000 dollar bill due today? IF you did not buy the right truck, maybe you burn up a engine. It's not hard to do. Trust me.

    Now that I make you think a little bit, let's hear where you are coming from to even consider ordering potentially a 200,000 dollar tractor.
