You are spot on regarding repairs. Personally, I could not survive on $2000 a week net. Right now, truck is in the driveway, air compressor failed, took out power steering pump, air dryer everything with an o-ring and or a gasket or grommet. Called a few shops, 2 weeks or more out to get in. Of the five shops I called, two said they did not have any qualified mechanics to install an air compressor on an ISX. I about fell over at that one...
Anyways, fighting the cold, 20* weather, snow and rain, and two days in the fifties, ordering parts, finding other issues, etc. The bill is at $4,400 in parts alone. I did quite a bit, painting involved too, as I am not putting raw parts on and reshot the block, well, entire driver side of the motor.
I can say from experience, you are either all in or you are not, just make sure you have the income coming in to support your habit. I would say the only good thing the op has going for him is owning that non EPA truck.
