Anyone rolling in a 589 yet?

Are they providing you with a rental?

 

Are you okay with that?
Hopefully they can get it fixed up good and get you rolling again.

 

If it’s bad enough to warrant frame horns I’d be wanting new frame rails as well. If it took a hit hard enough to bust the horns then it’s licked and needs to be put out to pasture.

As far as 589s go, Dobbs up in Little Rock had quite of few on their lot last time I was up that way. I know their shop in Shreveport has been trying to move some flat tops for months. MHC has quite of few W900s in stock they are VERY motivated to sell if you can get over the 06+ dash.

 

Disagree, the whole point of the multiple piece frame horn system up front is to make repair easy without replacing the whole rails.

The front rail sections are pretty simple pieces. You could probably get some new ones custom fabricated without much trouble.

 

What year is your W9 and is it an L or a short hood? I might have a whole set of used frame horns/rad support/whatever from a salvage truck I bought for the engine that I could sell. Its a 2005 W900L that had a cab fire. The frame is all rotted out under the 5th wheel but the front half of it doesn't look bad. I can give you the last 6 of the VIN so you can confirm they'd fit your truck. I'm 4 hours south from Springfield Mass.

Also, don't be afraid of a Jones aftermarket hood. They fit very well and seem to hold up as well as the factory fiberglass does. I'm not a fan of the plastic metton hoods at all. They're supposed to be lighter but the beams near the firewall fall apart after a while and that material is miserable to repair.
