well ready to go!
 
after a week of looking at junk, i found a decent truck. its a ex ryder lease truck from CA. 2004 columbia, c15 (think its a 6nz def single turbo), 3.73 gears (gotta change them once i can), 595k on it. got it for $24500. truck is very clean i have full maintenance records of it since it was new. it seems from the records its been a good truck. the turbo was replaced 90k ago, it has all new exhaust and the 5th wheel was rebuilt. steer and front axle tires are 95-100% virgin rubber the rear is 50% but they said we can talk about it.

it has some minor issues that it has to go in to the shop for so i can drive and sign the papers. should be up and running with in a month.

its actually not too bad. 65 right around 1500 70 around 1600.

it look 2 months :roll: but i got the truck. runs really well.


got a few questions though not sure if its a cat thing or what. my jake will NOT go on with the cruise switch on. it will only if i'm on the foot brake.. switch off its fine.


hope to get a load in a few hours .
