    It's under full warranty while they are making payments. That's what is good about it. Cost is irrelevant , it's covered. Be it a new tranny or total engine rebuilt/replace. It won't cost any more either way.

    If it's more than a day, they offer a loaner truck to keep you rolling , otherwise they pay breakdown and cover your hotel cost.

    As Wickedfire77 mentioned those repairs do not cost us. Wee can schedule those cosmetic repairs in as we choose. The leak is a frost drip, only hits next morning not when its raining. Ac is a tiny tiny leak also which we have to track down as it is not showing under pressure test. Stacks are fixed but we will be need replacing sometime next year.

    Fact is engine and training are new rebuild. We got truck with no miles on new engine. We are doing the break in. Remember hubby is a certified mechanic on these engines from back when they were built and used with the military. So he checked it out and where we park at home also is certified mechanics on these trucks. They are the ones that hardwired hubby cb. He was impressed by the work done under the hood. We also did a rigdig report so know the history.

    So we know all history on truck before this company and after they bought it. How many can say that with a used truck.

    We're not sure since truck has been in service since original owner. Best guess 10339800. Might be more. The pervious engines in past two years were not rebuilds but scrap yards. That we have from mechanics that installed them and driver that got stuck on them.

    This is a registered Freightliner Classic glider 05.
