Taking the plunge. My journey as an O/O.

What's the piston look like?
Also there is no reason they can't combine the warranty work with extra work you pay for out of pocket.

 

Might as well do a rebuild now and then you won't have to get rid of the truck

 

Yea really. Why do all this work and then get rid of it. Unless you are going back to a company driver.

 

Have them do the other 5 on a separate invoice. The warranty company doesn’t even need to know about it. Then you’d have a pretty solid truck.

 

Do all of the liners and look at it as preventative maintenance. The truck will be worth a bit more if you trade it in and worth a lot more if you choose to keep running the wheels off it.

 

Isn't the work being done going to get covered under a new warranty by the shop? If that's the case, I would just have them do the extra work if the price is right. Let the original warranty cover the rest of the truck, and use the shop's for the engine work.

You might not like the interior or amenities of the Freightliner, but it's nothing you can't change. I gutted my Volvo 780 and put in a bar sink and built the cabinets and shelves for more storage. It's like a blank canvas when you get the upper bunk and cabinets out of there on any truck.
