  1. We taken delivery yet, waiting on the dealer to do a few things. 567 X15 Cummins, eaton endurant AMT, pete low air leaf, air disc brakes, 220 wb
  2. ouch...... 2 9200 Internationals over here also
  3. That’s just it, you can’t. Everything is expensive and you wait for days to weeks on parts. That’s why there is a new Peterbilt over here.
  4. 3 sets of injectors and an overhaul, 410K miles
  5. Coming home with a load for the ready mix plant. 2012 CHU MP8 with a Mdrive. Joe #83
  6. Well we ain’t running thermodynes and triplexs anymore because the industry has advanced. The benefits to botH the driver and the equipment due to an auto trans is very beneficial. Happy drivers stick around and turn over is miminal. We have 5 Mdrives and a soon to be delivered Pete 567 with an auto. Not looking back, moving forward, attracting better drivers due to having premium equipment.
  7. I dont see where having an automatic is a make or break on a clown like this. All of our automatics are driven by the drivers with the longest tenure, they see it as a reward, not a drawback.
  8. Driving a mixer saturday, didnt leave work till 3:30. So, no we didnt make it to plano. Going to try real hard to make it to Kamps!
  9. I am having the same issues as Ranchhopper. Doesn’t matter if I’m at a desktop or iPad.
  10. Their stuff is much nicer than ours. We aren’t even on their level.
  11. It would help! The injector/cup issues on these MP8's is nuts.
  12. There are 4 in the dump trailer fleet, 3 in the family fleet, and 11 (and growing) in the ready mix fleet. That’s enough antiques for this yard.
  13. New Peterbilt should be here in a week. Would like to rehome all,of the MP8’s if that counts for anything.
  14. I’m not a huge fan of Galberth trailers, as far as looks, but I like how that one is set up. Make it a smooth side and I really like it.
  15. We are still running an 87’ everyday. The truck in that picture was the “tuckaway” bridgemaster axle, we are still running ne of those also.
  16. Just needs some orange stripes.
  17. Too short to be a Ganna Truck.
  18. This one is a bit tough, mak an offer. Make an offer on the whole truck!
  19. Redwing 914's i get about a year out of them, but for the most part wear them 7 days a week. I have been hard on boots since I was a kid and concrete is hell on any of them. I put them on the boot dryer every night and try to remember to clean and oil them once in awhile.
  20. We currently are running 5 MP8’s with Mdrives. Love the trucks, love the Mdrive, and very tired of replacing injectors and waiting for pretty much any part those Red Devil Motors need. I forgot we are going air disc brakes also. The AMT are pretty much the to go. The drivers say how refreshing is it driving them. They get out of the truck at the end of the and feel like doing something.
  21. X15 Cummins, Enduarant AMT trans, 3.36 meritor rears on Pete low air leaf.
