    a friend has a 6.7 powered F750 with a 2000 gallon oil tank on the back and loves it. over 150k miles on it with no problems at all picking up waste oil

    it will be damn near impossible to tip that truck over when dumping on unstable ground!! never saw a 4 piston setup, usually 3 piston.

    i am talking real world with pre emissions trucks, not computer generated mileage predictions.

    probably because most steering wheel holders these days have problems with 5 or 8 speed trans, let alone a 13 or 18 speed. and as far as the myth that lower power engines/less gear trans trucks get better fuel mileage, we get over 7 mpg with my C-15 cat and 18 speed triaxle Kenworth W900 tractor and the T800 triaxle dump with 475 hp C-13 and 18 speed. another trucker in the yard has a Mack CL700 with a 15L cummins 600 hp and 18 speed, triaxle dump.he is also getting over 7 mpg with that truck. the same guy has a 99 RD Mack tandem with 350 and 8ll trans. that truck gets less than 4 mpg on the same runs as the triaxles.

    even if you will be running all flat ground, that truck will be an underpowered dog that will not be able to get out of its own way. and forget about using it in hilly terrain.

    with a price of $140 grand, my bet is a plain jane vulva throw away truck.

    the old scales were very easy to throw off, slight pressure of the thumb could make you 5,000 lbs overweight so you had to go tip off, or make you 5,000 lbs underweight so you would get busted at the state scales.

    i would look at the governor.

    same here in Jersey, but it needs to be inspected by the state police DOT team. and if they see ANYTHING they don't like, it is rejected and you have to schedule another $400 inspection. not sure for the price of truck inspection the $400 price is for cars/pickups. same way a salvage title vehicle gets re-certified for road use.

    are you talking about pic 3 in the body set? that looks to me like the body to frame shim plate.

    in New Jersey, the only way to do it is apply for an abandoned vehicle title. and that takes about 18 months to get. in other states you can use one of the title agencys from Alabama or North Carolina. New Jersey does not recognize titles from those agencys as valid and will not issue a clean NJ title with their papers.

    not a bad looking truck...i wonder what the opening bid or reserve is?
  14. tjc transport
    if i remember correctly, that truck was found abandoned at an old pig farm that a developer bought to build mc mansions on, and the developer is trying to make a fortune selling it. i don't think he has a title for it either, which is needed to transfer vehicles here in New Jersey.

    would be no problem, except i am leaving at 5 am for north carolina.

    if you are into model trains, there is a place called Northlandz on RT 202 in Flemington. http://northlandz.com it is well worth the price to get in, and you can get lost in there

    sounds and looks good. next time though, use a real camera cause the cell phone just don't cut it!!
  21. tjc transport
    with that you are paying someone to tell you that someone broke into your house and maybe call the police after they already left. it may work if you live next door to the police station. .

    well first off, if you win one billion in the lottery, the government is going to take 50% off the top in taxes, so you will only have 500 million to play with. and i think vulva has done so much damage to the Mack name that it will never bounce back to the glory it once had no matter what anyone does.

    we had an issue with both the pete and kenworth this past week where they both needed the DEF filters changed. both trucks have only had DEF put in out of the 2.5 gallon containers at our shop. the pete has 65k miles, the kenworth has 46k miles on it. once the filters were replaced, the lights went off.

    that girl in the old GMC better be careful, it looks like her "air bags" are over inflated and ready to burst!!!

    I'm surprised it was not a Swift truck.
