    Food for thought......

    When I went to work for EZ they had a 93 Ford L9000 daycab. N14 mechanical with @315 hp. After a number of years a driver complains of low power. The parts replacer is looking it over when I pulled in one day.

    Long story short..... I got to looking myself and noticed the elbow on top the intake manifold had pushed up away from the manifold because of corrosion. 2 corners were broke off and the gasket on the back side towards the rocker boxes was GONE! Look for a crack in anything they may have taken off, or left a gasket out of.....

    How do you perform these “covert” audits? That could be the best part of the job.

    double bacon, double egg, double cheese, hot sauce, ketchup, home fries. Goood morning.
    Now I get to go do some A/R work. Then off to the trailer dealer for the salesman to buy me lunch and tell me what Manac has to offer.

    anybody got opinions on manac as a flat/step brand? I haven’t looked at one up close in a long time. The ones I seen in years past were all combo log trailers... rode hard and put away wet.

    I heard the bragging about how you can get them all galvanized for like $500 more.

    plus I seen this the other day n it’s very attractive.

    I was thinking the same thing...but it will be a few months before I get to do it so the boss hasn't given me a lot of information on on it yet.
