Loaded this beauty on Tues..

What did you have it in?

 

yeah you got a smokin deal on that truck. I bet you could throw it up for $100k+. I saw one of those vans you been looking at too. 2003 E350 with a small 36” sleeper. It was up in Independence, OR

 

Not extensively but just enough of it with a truck I drove for an owner-operator last year for a couple weeks. Had a lot of problems with it out in Wyoming to the point were we agreed to disagree about how to proceed with the truck at that point and it was time for me go home. Very long story short it quit on me several times and had to be towed twice leaving me stranded in Rawlins for about a week. His mechanic in OKC had put new injectors in it a couple weeks prior, and didn't put the injector wiring harness back together right...about 3000 miles or so later a valve spring had rubbed a hole in the wiring causing a short and cutting out 2 of the cylinders. After huge tow bill #1, the CAT shop in Cheyenne discovers and fixes that mess along with grid heater relay for me. Made it about 10-15 miles west of Rawlins and it starts quitting on me again as I pull into a truck parking exit. Tow truck #2 takes me back to Rawlins were I get stuck for 5 days until the independent shop there determines they can't find anything wrong the truck after doing some tests and driving it around. This was all after it quit on me twice following the repairs at CAT in Cheyenne and I knew something else was up. Kid's dad doesn't believe me or thinks I'm making stuff up or something, so I go home and they drive one of their other guys up to Rawlins to take the truck. From what I hear it eventually made it Brigham City, UT after quitting several more times and there it sat at another shop for several months until they determined the ECM was no good. I think the truck's back on the road now. Quite an adventure there with that one.

My 3126 did me well.

What did you have it in?

I had a 3126 in a FL 80 expedite truck and a T 300 Haul and Tow.

 

You know, that isn't a horrible idea for someone that wants to tow a gooseneck around the ranch or a fifth-wheel RV. Probably could stretch the frame and put a bigger sleeper on it too and end up with a rig that matches what these high-dollar RV haulers for a lot less money.

 

I try to avoid going into residential neighborhoods if I can even when I run the truck without a trailer and ask the customer to meat at the nearest shopping area with a large parking lot. I usually scope out the pick/drop location after I book them and decide if it's roomy enough to go in with a truck. Most customers are understanding and meet without issue.

 

Agree with everything you said.
