75% of the trucks my local Pete dealer sells are 388/389's...anyone who does their own maintenance will attest that there's more to the hood/aero...
Personally, I think it revolves around whether or not you have an existing engine/trans that you can put to use. I quoted a turn key 389 glider...
That's just good business, IMHO. Cheap freight out of an area exists for a reason...namely there are far more loads coming into a market than...
If it's got LP 24.5 with the 3.70's, and the trans is a .73 OD, you should be at roughly 1400 @65 and 1200 at 55. Not bad if you ask me..
AgLaw put it best...your engine has the POTENTIAL of putting out it's rated torque/horsepower at any given RPM. Increasing the torque/hp rating of...
Shift at the same RPM as a 9 speed...*maybe* 50 RPM less, but the steps are so similar between the two transmissions that it's barely noticeable....
You want the oil to just barely dribble out when you remove the plug. If you don't get a dribble of oil, add some until it does. Sometimes you...
I'd say Detroit is at the top, with Cummins and Cat about equal to each other. Be leery of the Paccar motor...I haven't heard too many good things...
Look again, Kansas. On an ISX, the water pump is driven by the big belt that also goes around the crank and fan. The small belt driven off the...
If your intentions are to be a 1 truck show and not pursue growing your operation, leasing to a carrier is the smarter move. 1 truck independent...
What in anything I've said here leads you to believe that I would benefit from "entry level" business courses? I'll let you in on a little...
He may have started independent, but he hasn't been on his own for a LONG time. Sounds like he didn't have what it took to be fully independent,...
That's because he has "limited" experience in those areas. Being leased to FedEx Ground pretty much eliminates having to know anything about those...
Evans coolant was selling resistor kits along with their coolant to put in line with the temp sender to trick the ecm into thinking the engine was...
Sorry, but you're just too ugly for me, not to mention I already have a hot wife! :biggrin_25522:
Dice, why should anyone from THIS forum have to defend their statements that they made on THIS forum on HIS show? The reason he puts that...
Hmmm...looks like Dice1 and kevinonxm have decided to retreat and regroup. Dice posted 15 minutes ago over on Letstruck, but he's eerily quiet on...
Been good! Thanks for asking! You pretty much summed up my views about him in describing your own. He does have good solid business principals...
Again with "calling in" to prove ny opinion...Both you and KR wield that like a pistol. If you or KR has a problem with my statement, then debate...
I think he has a certain arrogance about him that turns alot of guys off. Couple that with the fact that at least one of the products he...
