    Total cost of ownership of 1-ton vs class 6-7 trucks

    Depends on the size of the company. For someone who only wants 1 truck the 1 ton makes the most sense because it can be parked in residential areas and used for personal reasons, and in most places if combined weight is under 26,000lbs no yearly inspections or special license. I had a Ram 5500...

    New Cat engines

    Anytime I buy if I have a trade I say i'm undecided if I will trade it in give me the price on the new one and the trade value and I will decide after, also when they try the payment BS I say I was an OTD price the payment means nothing. I had one shady dealership offer me a payment, term, and...

    This will be an interesting thread moving forward......

    To me it's none of their business what you do on your own time provided you aren't using their truck, tools or connections to get the work. But someone complaining about getting fired for doing side work using a company service truck has a screw loose. It's stealing from the company, no other...

    Truck heating up

    As far as the truck i'm going to call a few shops next week and see if they would take it over, and get an idea on pricing. If the aftermarket parts i'm seeing online are quality, the pricing shouldn't be bad to just buy new loaded head, turbo, etc. I'm sure the misc non engine parts I can get...

    Truck heating up

    Well he is dumber then I thought, figured i'd pull title today after getting his invoice in the mail for $11,600+GST and there is a garage keepers lien, but the best part? He put on the lien he released the vehicle to me! He actually put in proof he is not entitled to a lien because he didn't...

    Truck heating up

    Took a few pics of the truck. Aside from the head, turbo, air compressor, exhaust manifold, valve covers, injector lines, jakes, thermostat housing, is there any items i'm missing from the engine? I wonder how hard it would be hard to get those other things? As for other stuff like rad, overflow...

    Truck heating up

    Don't think i'm going to have any luck with used, called around and not only does no one have one, they have others calling looking for one too. There is some in the states but I think with exchange and freight it's just way too expensive and it's even more of a gamble paying for it without...

    Truck heating up

    I don't think i'd get any other advice aside from the legal route is long and expensive, best to try and settle it amicably. I'm thinking i'll try once more to see what his plan is and if any budging to try and resolve, if not i'll remove box send the truck to auction and sell box privately, and...

    Truck heating up

    For sure, but there is a tarp over the whole front end to protect against water. I don't intend to leave it like that long, I will bring it inside or protect it better if there is any rain/snow in the forecast, but right now there's nothing.

    Truck heating up

    He pulled the truck outside today, oddly enough he parked it in my space and has no intention of trying to hold it, and can't put a mechanics lien on it, no idea what his plan is. However no parts with it. Only hood in the box and a few small pieces in the cab. He did seal it up ok, put the oil...

    Mobile crusher

    They want it spread on the site to backfill it from the demolition, but if there is good enough stuff to use some for road base. There is about 3000 sq/ft hole 3' down where I can get rid of a lot of the material and put the worst there. They are planning to put topsoil on the area in the spring...

    Mobile crusher

    There was no mention about wear, but another place was $1500/month for wear, so i'd assume like $500 more for wear. I can't say for sure but I think it's a new one. It's a 70.2 s4 going on my 2008 Volvo EC210C. I have to confirm for sure but i'm pretty sure as I can select sheer mode which I...

    Mobile crusher

    I see you have the same crusher bucket i'm going to rent. Curious how big of rock will it crush? Would it be able to handle like 8"-10" boulders?
