    That motor is a good build if done right. Accerts had good blocks and cranks. Take all the EPA junk off, throw on a pre 99 ecm with a good tune and it's a great motor. Is it legal and will it pass inspection is another story. If it has a pre 99 ecm the dot will probably be non the wiser but the VIN number on the truck will not show it as a glider
     
    Black389 and Bean Jr. Thank this.

    Can't believe people are willing to piss away tens of thousands of dollars buying old junk or repower trucks with old engines. All in the name of trying to avoid an elog. Lmfao.

    I should be charging 5 to 6 bucks a mile? You should start your own brokerage, you'll never have trouble moving freight with that outlook.

    LMAo. I am switching trucks today, so I can run more than 8 days a month, I guess I should inform them they should start paying me 8.50 a mile or so tomorrow.

    I think it is more about giving up more liberties and privacy as an O/O.

    I have never ran for cheap. U cant push a payment out for a brand new 389 with a brand new spread axle reefer and with insurance monthly adding up to 6k+ wouldn’t be able to afford that if i was running cheap.
