So I broke down (litterly) and bought a different truck....
I got stuck in a nice 9 mile long stop-n-go thru Shreveport last week. After heating up the clutch a bit, it started slipping pretty badly. I made it to the peterbilt dealer back in Indy and was going to have it fixed when I noticed a nice 387 that caught my eye. It was the same truck i had looked at a month ago. Aparently it was in having a few things done to it for the same little dealership I had seen it at before. So I drove on over and talked to the salesman again. He cut me a good deal, and a trade-in on my rig so I said WTF and jumped on it.
They gave me $10,000 trade (with the bad clutch) and sold me the truck for $25,000. I am also keeping all my brand new tires I just put on my FLD and they are swapping them over to the new truck for me.
2006 Peterbilt 387 w/513k miles
C13 475hp
13spd
3.36 rears
New brakes all around
full gauges ect ect.....
I figured it should net me another 1mpg, which will save me about $150 a week on my run, and I get the write-off which my accountant said I really need!!!
Anyways, i'm excited to get it on the road, but have a TON of paperwork to do so it should be ready for my run on monday.
