ah.....perhaps, and this is a long shot.....i misunderstood.....lol my wife has the tablet in the hospital with her, but when i get it back, ill re-read it..... i do recall something about the shift pattern in the code......but my memory is not so good......

In the service manual I have for newer road Rangers is lists most of them as over or direct, identified in the model # by "o" and "x". Ex. RTO would be over, and RTX would be direct.... The same may not be true for older designs....I'm not so well versed in the old ones:)

220 doesn't seem that high.... I'm steady at 210 and on a long pull it'll climb a bit

That's fn cool......

Wouldnt wanna miss a step.getting out of there....damn sure it wouldn't tickle hitting the ground

X2

Beat me to it JD.... Big fn shock lol

Get the chains.....and tractor...or two or five lol

Depends on the size of Cat....

1. Sure you can, I do it daily...trick to minimizing the roofers missing the can is dropping it super close along the wall, get most of the can hagnkng off the tails, position the back close and set it down, then let the cable out and for the last few feet, crank the wheel away from the building, swinging the back of the truck and the front of the bin into the wall...to pu set up at an angle (I've done about 30* from center without scratching/gouging the tails), pick up the bin and turn in to pull it off the wall at the same shallow angle I put it down. easier when the bin is loaded right, heavy shit at the front.....with gravel you only need 1/4 of the bin on the truck to lift the feet off the ground....it gets interesting picking up a super tail heavy bin, one last week all the gravel/roof mat was at the doors and the insulation was in the front.....Had 90% of the bin on the truck before it would lift the feet.....and the front end lol Re-read the finese thing, and it wasn't what iwas talking about, and I'm not sure how to explain it.....

Can't kill an r..... Welcome, please grab a helmet on the way in lol

We have an assortment of bins and a deck for machinery for the roll offs, but the tare weights are kinda ridiculous for trying to maximize loads....20yd (smallest cans) tare @ 17,100kg on my GU and around 16,000 on the RD tandem and 50yd are almost 19,000kg....but a dump of similar preportions tares @ 15,000 or less. It's the versatility we need, but trying to save weight. 16 tonne payload doesn't go too far. The Rd is even lower, MTO only allows 28,000kg gross..... Also seems that hook loaders dont have the finese for pick ups due to the no rails thing.....never run one, but they seem to tip the can back an awful lot during p/u....

Stupid question maybe, and sorry for hijacking, but how much lighter if at all would a hook loader be vs a roll off?

That'll work well 😛

There's a guy around the tri cities that has run a 2001 R? since new with an etech and has supposedly (never seen the odometer to confirm) over 1,000,000km (couldn't even guess the hours)....also a roll off and we didn't chat to length about rebuilds etc, but he did say that it has been a very good rig to him.... Sad they are thinking about phasing in CNG trucks....he thinks Petes with cummins motors ;(

They keep their equipment in decent shape for the age. Bobo; where you been hiding ?!

Fuses and grounds all check out?

Depends on what type if driving you do. I'm mostly local with a roll off so hrs are way high for the kilometres on the truck. Don't think any formula could get it across the board

Fuel economy is the goal....even 900-1000km per tank will save me about 300$ month.....even my insurance went down lol

So ini have read.....a few quys around here with em that will help you out for beer....the canadian favour...lol Still have some work to do inspecting things...mbut all in all in very good shape for 268,000km.....the taxi I had ran to well north of 700,000 even with sub-par pm service.....the owners were cheap and when service became required vs preventative, they opted to sell the three jettas and buy ex police impalas....then I Quit.... I will say it seems smaller than the Sportage, but when we all load up for a day trip everything fits better....and most of the miles on it will be just me to work and back, dont need a 4wd mini-ute for that.....i bet winter will change my tune a bit, but I did it for years in the snow with front wheel drive, just never with that much torque lol

I cant belive I forgot to post this here.... Traded my 09 Kia Sportage LX V6 (111,000km) For this..... Square deal. E tested, safetied, plated and ready to roll. 2006 VW Jetta GLS TDI Wagon, fully loaded minus leather......I LOVE IT.....already cut my fuel bill in half...work and back (100 kms a day) all week on 25 litres (30$) of fuel... Had a 2001 jetta tdi auto sedan as a taxi years ago......put over 500,000km on it in 2 years, beting that little 1.9l thee whole damn time.......drove this one and it all came back...the ride, the little diesel noise, the stereo (!!). Looked all summer for one, finally got one. YIPEE Specs:1.9L PD-TDI (EUP), 101hp @ 4000rpm, 177ft/lbs @1800-2800rpm. 5 speed tiptronic auto, and only EGR for emissions *sorry hatcity, this is the full post lol.
