Everything’s wore out, nothing left to damage, Lol. Surprised it lasted this long. 1.3 + mil. on OH. It’s getting all Detroit parts, pistons, sleeves, head, injectors, bull gear,reseal both front covers, radiator. With Labor, $16000 give or take. Only unknown is wether counterbores are needed. Then just about everything will be new.Already did compressor, waterpump, fuel pump, Only thing left is turbo, it’s at about 400k. Fan will be up soon, it’s at about 500 k, It never ends You May come out better now, with a new engine.Being able to run it longer after its paid for. Of course other things will need maintenance, you’ll figure it out by then. It’s always 1 step back, to go 2 steps forward it seems.
Taking the plunge. My journey as an O/O.

Even a paid off truck cost over 60 cpm to operate. I just can't fathom the thought process of buying a truck just to make less than an employee driver.Opendeckin, Eldiablo and Farmerbob1 Thank this. -
I’ve always heard of those high paying jobs, but never could seem to get one, let alone keep it. Buying a Truck turned the tables, allowing Me to be in Demand, and still make as much as those pie in the sky ( at least where I live) jobs.
Itsbrokeagain, Farmerbob1, dwells40 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Hopefully bob learns from this deal, then when he gets his feet back under him,he’ll take the training wheels off.Farmerbob1 Thanks this. -
I even spoke to a Landstar rep the other day who explained the real reason they still have a requirement for hazmat certification. It's basically a tard-filter. Anyone who can't get a Hazmat endorsement, they don't want driving around with the company name on the side of the truck, so Landstar is back on the table for possible future employment. -
