    Many thanks! Took me ten years of research and asking questions and planning before I made this jump. A lot of it is thanks to all of the Owner Ops and fleet owners right here on TTR answering questions. I spent a lot of time lurking around the Owner Op threads absorbing info and opinions.

    Wow all I can say is wow guy. Great job. Also I'm suprised there hasnt been a bunch of owner ops in here that don't want compitition lMao TTR has good people and bad people. Wishing you much luck in your travels and wishing emmisions systems longevity. My issue so far in less than a year and only running the truck slip seat on week ends. Was getting caught at a truck stop for 5 hours after it derased to 5mph but pulling the speed sensor got us up to 50mph and a loud beap for 4 hours. It was a 2015 isx15 485 and 10 speed manual which saved us cause auto wouldn't have shifted up.

    Congratulations! I have a feeling you will go far and do well. Between talking to you a bit on here and reading your posts, it's obvious you've done your research and know your stuff. I wouldn't be too concerned with the engine and its reputation either. If it treats you half as well as mine did me, it'll do nothing but make you money. I'm not sure who your mechanical geniuses are, but there's a shop up the road a ways that is run by a former Cummins tech that really knows his stuff if you get into a real pickle somewhere.

    @Petty Cash Aren't you from my particular neck of the woods in NW PA? Crawford or Mercer County? We may be discussing the same mad mechanical geniuses.

    I'm quite literally just up the road from you, still in Crawford County. I don't want to say too much out on the public board though.
