    Detroit's are solid motors. If we can run them drama free on roadtrains, they aren't bad.

    Besides, the true measure of a motor is is the oe will use them in a marine application.

    Better some oil leaks than cracking a liner and dropping it on the crank....

    That cat has a real shimmy to it. Might need some new shocks.

    Well I am motivated today. Look out world! I need to get that Perkins on the engine stand (as opposed to hanging by chains from the engine hoist)

    Save you’re money now, buy a couple condos down there in Arizona, soon to be bargain priced, rent them till Market rises. Better than a depreciating Truck. Call it plan 4c

    Ah the joys of flatbed. The place I'm delivering to took me 20min to find. The GPS shows their address 4mi away from here, and I'm sitting next to an old run down looks abandoned warehouse waiting for a guy to come unload me lol.

    But now would be a super bad time to unload a used truck. On the other hand, if you could get a decent deal trading it in, right now it's a buyer's market for new.
    I might have already said this, and if I'm repeating myself, I apologize.
    However, the best advice I ever got when I was thinking about trading my old truck in and getting another came from a salesman.
    He said, "The simple question is, where do you see yourself 5 years from now? And let that inform your decision."

    There ya go. That's the best I'm going to do all day.
