  1. I think , They're only legally obliged to provide Spare part support for 10 yrs....
  2. Here in Australia "vomack" have their own used Parts division.. https://www.vmrtruckparts.com.au/
  3. We Ausssies Haven't either... The next one I see, will be the First..
  4. You still see a fair few down here,..
  5. That's how It works here in Australia.. It's surprising What Parts Daimler can still supply !! Prices can be a bit random though. can vary from "reasonable" to "bend over & grab your ankles" !! Have to admit to having a soft spot for The Louisville I've owned 6 over the last 30yrs & in fact still have 2, with one still working fora living. Ford squandered a massive opportunity with their Handling of the HN80 project..
  6. Fords Decision to sell their heavy Truck division for a mere fraction of the HN80's development cost, would rank as one Fords Dumbest decisons.. In my opinion..
  7. Iveco do 2 different width "Stralis" Cabs.. The Australian Designed & built Powerstar uses the narrow version.. And there's a large dealer Group in Europe that Convert Stralis's (with the Aussie Hood)to what they call a "Strator" & they Use the Wide cab..
  8. i wonder what Western Star think of them using the "Constellation" Model designation???
  9. Sounds Like you had a good Soul Mate..

  13. It all seems to go back to when the Loader Backed into you.... I'd be getting some string lines out & making sure the Chassis is Square & parallel ... If It was My truck (which It isn't) I'd be taking It to the nearest Ritchie Bros yard, Cleaning My gear out of It & let some else deal with It. The down Time & repairs will (or should I say IS keeping) keep you poor trying to Figure It Out...
  14. What are their reasons/justification for this...??? And twisting & squeezing, I reckon... I can see where they're coming from if truck was under Warranty. But on an 8-9 Yr old Truck ??? This is straight out Gouging In My Opinion..
  15. Numbnuts awards are also earnt by car Drivers Too...........
  16. They're claiming that they were assembling Diamond Reos under licence back in the '80s..... https://www.diamondreotrucks.com.au/our-diamond-reo-history/ Curious to know how many they actually Did...

  18. Pretty simple, isn't It???
  19. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is probably the saddest thing about these types of Incidents in this Day & Age.. There's nowhere near the cameraderie there once was out on the Road.These days It's all Me ME Me..
