Fitzgerald Gliders might be getting more attention than they’d like

What's the warranty?
1 year?
Why not 5 years?
Rebuilt will never outlast a new motor.

 

There is absolutely no reason a proper reman engine won't last just as long as a new. Matter of fact I would bet a reman could even go longer.

My factory Detroit reman came with 3 year 300,000 warranty.

Most new manufacturer warrenty are the same. If you want 5 year 800,000 you have to buy it and it ain't cheep... all your doing is pre-paying for repairs in my opinion.

 

I’ll bet most of the members on this site weren’t trucking in the 90’s like you, myself, and a handful of others.
This place is a new breed magnet.

 

Cat will go 4 years for a price .....on reman or if you have them rebuild yours

 

That's ok.

I don't expect to be around too many years. I remember my Uncle telling stories of his trucking time in the war years and the 50's and they sure don't much up too much to what I did and what the new generation is doing now.

I don't know what to think of them right now. All I can see is that there is so much they don't yet know. Maybe its not for me to teach if at all possible.

As far as Fitzgerald is concerned, if I ever want to buy a semi I will be going to Crossville to get it. If I am lucky I might even find a couple of my very favorite engine and transmission combos without restriction or governors.

 

Are you for real? There can be some legit arguments against a glider... But not in this post.

 

How do you know what the engine was subjected to?
Front end collision with a tree is definitely going to twist some parts.

 

Gotta be pretty smart to be doing this #### for ,40 years...

 

You simply shouldn't post anymore...

 

The boss man ordered my new 389 glider from Fitz last week.
There is a bit of a wait for a 2ws yellow motor at present time..

Thanks to the big boss man and Fitz for extending my long haul career a bit further or until the eld exemption goes away.
