I know they started buy freightjunkers about 2 years ago. All i can do is ask for a MACK. But hey a truck is a truck. All i care about is the money$$$$.

I agree Mack! Coolio could be of great help to you right now. I have only seen one or two posts. Maybe he will be back soon. Lord knows we need him.

Good luck getting a "Bull Dog". They are phasing them out. Also, you do know that thier new trucks are all automatics.

I know not all freights are auto. Look at one of them videos on the last page they are inside a freightliner and it is stick. So maybe there is hope for a real truck. Now when im next to a pyle truck im going to have to try to look inside to see if i see a stick or not.

Pretty much the same thing was said when road ranger transmissions first came out.
