Sounds like its worth checking into more at least. Dont suppose you will let us in on who it is?
-
They're called Polmax,out of Alsip
-
Sounds Russian to me... Ok I'll duck and cover
-
They're polish
-
The outfit is making alot extra on the shocks,can you plug into ECM to see total mi. on truck?
-
I don't know,this is the only info i have
-
Most places around here charge $200 an axles for brakes....

I'd rather have good drive tires. Goodyear, Bridgestone, or Michelin's - would not flush $2,900 down the toilet on 8 Double Coin drives. I paid double what they charge for a kingpin job. Yeah those shocks are double what they should cost. I dunno maybe not bad. I'd rather put that money down on a brand new glider but that's just me.
Cummins must really believe in their motors. Only 200,000 or 2 years whichever is first? You either love CAT's or you hate them but they stand behind their motors unlimited miles 3 years standard upgradeable to 4. Yeah I know you can't get a CAT in a Volvo that's just my opinion on ISX's. -
Warrenty is too expensive. Freightliner was quoted me 6000 for 200000 mile 2 year Warranty.
