I dont care as long as its in better shape than what I have.I would most prob get sent to indy to get a truck.

Your FM does't decide if you get a new truck or not. Just overwhelm the shop with everything that is wrong with your truck. Your FM's responsibility will be to get you to a terminal so you can swap out.

I would like to think at 390K it would be easy to get out of it.A nice new 08 would be sweet as I was told they have a new qualcomm with gps maps or some thing in the dash.

Before you take a 08 with a CAT. I'd find out if they still have their REGEN problem with the emmissions. I sat in Cheyenne waiting for some parts. Talked to a guy with a 08 (i think 8 or more times) in the shop for the same problem. Will not go into regen mode. This is in 50,000 miles. He was there most of the day.
If I was you I'd take any 07 before a 08, from the information I've heard. The company the guy drove for had 10 of them. The company at the time was very close to trading them, for Cummins. |
I dont see them givin me a New 08.As long as I can get rid of this 387 im good.

Or you could say flock it and call Maverick. Just an idea.
