    No, if you read the bottom of the quote, it says only good for 10 days. I haven't seen the contract yet to see how it reads as far as that goes. They are sending it snail mail. So I will see it in a month and I'll let you know......lol.

    As far as my bottom line goes, I'm making money. Can't complain there. Heck,the truck is mostly new now....lol. engine and trans have about 150k on them now. In the past 6 months I've done
    Airbags
    All Front end components
    All Steering components
    King pins
    2 rears
    4 axles
    New rims/tires
    5th wheel and slider
    Bushings
    Cab bushings
    All ujoints
    All yokes
    Abs valve
    Hood rollers
    Leveling valve
    Alternator
    Batteries
    Carrier bearing
    And a host of other things
    Only thing left is Radiator and cac. Prolly do those in spring.
    Just got my oil report back today and it is stellar.

    The difference is: the stuff going wrong with my truck is normal high mile truck stuff. The same with any truck. I don't need to add engine bs and aftertreatment to that list. With a newer truck. I plan on keeping it. If I were going to trade it off every time before warranty was out, then I wouldn't worry about it. Which I might start doing if the market ever gets back to sane levels.

    Edit: I just bought the last Cat water sperator they had in stock. Not good.

    I'll see what I can find. It's not the intentional pull. It's a hard pull, but there's no strange tire wear.

    Any chance the steering gear is slightly leaking slightly? Spool valve bypassing ever so slightly to 1 side?
    Pressure and flow tester may reveal that.

    When I went to crane school for my OCC it was at our union training sight just off I-77 in WV.

    Cost $170, there’s another school just up the road from me here, they work with our local 132, but they charge $1200.

    You came up through the ranks, and actually had better training I’m sure…,
