Mike Donohue Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Ugly but great running and reliable truck ! I've taken this to every corner of the country this year and only selling due to a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, so not quite sure about if or when I might be returning to driving. The good, parts that have been replaced with less than 35,000 miles on them: New Steer tires Good drives new clutch New rear torque arms New rear brakes , drums, pads & seals , front are good What it needs now , at least in my opinion: New Air Dryer (current is bypassed) A/C is not working , jumped the compressor and it kicked in , just ran out of time to fix. Both vent windows need replaced , driver side took a pellet going thru Shreveport LA the passenger side pivot is broke at the top, passenger window does not roll down. Door panels are off, because I was replacing some of the clips inside for the door linkage A good deep cleaning , replace the hood (Current one has far more dings than I care to deal with) and paint. I will be pulling an oil sample to share, $15,000 located an hour north of Tampa FL Best way to contact me is via email at rydermike02@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58121-1999-ch-613-sleeper-truck/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Donohue Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 I forgot to mention I put three new 925 batteries in it at the beginning of the year and it was getting 6.0 - 7.8 MPG with both a van or Flatbed.

Basic maintenance (grease, oil changes) is all I do. no more brakes, u-joints, carrier bearings, radiators, fan clutches And I got rid of all my tools thanks for asking....and i'm doing good so far Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58121-1999-ch-613-sleeper-truck/#findComment-427967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Great to hear. Knew there had been an occurance but didn't follow up. Don't know how I'd fare without my tools. Kind of a part of life for me and would be lost without them. Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Mike Donohue Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 $1500 price drop ! Sister truck needed steer tires over the weekend before rolling out so price has dropped accordingly to offset the cost to replace with a really nice set of your choice .
