Lol- looks like a new penske shop with that blue tool box. They buy boxs for all there tech's that look like that one.

Crazy

So what engine does that beauty have.....600/2050 Cat?

Sleeper? How about Condo. That is sweet.

Nice truck...what is he going to haul with it???

Hey Tom would that be OK to pull a 29' Fountain? :D:D:D :drink:

LOL!!!!!!

ya beat me to it!!!:drink:

Yes....I will have to look up the box weight to make sure it won't put the load over when on the hook...I'll get back to ya..

I'd hate to make the payments on that beast! I buy day cabs w/ 60 Series Detroits(500,000 MILES) for 20 grand and run them like crazy. Keep the oil changed and serviced - no worries! Money makers $$$

Sorry if I'm hijacking but here's a pic of my 12,000 mile IH - 250 Cummings - 13 speed. Found it in a barn!

Some equipment moving.......love trucks! Truck is a 1988 Ford w/ Cummings power - 9 speed.

Very Nice!

That IHC with 12k miles is cool! Yeah Joker I hear you on the money thing. :rolleyes:

Cat engine C15 550. He is an owner operator that is leased to Bekins... (no pun intended dirt balls) usually light loads so the 550 is ok and better MPG. Guy is happy camper and we're doing another one for a friend of his.

another pic...love trucks!

I would hope the C-15 is enough motor. I have a Mack semi dump with a 427HP and it runs right with my buddy's KW with the C-15. Last month we were hauling loads of salt, and I pulled next to him at a red light. I wanted to see what that C-15 was all about. My Mack was right next to him to 45mph, we were both weighing 72,000. He was pissed. LOL

I love it! Drag racing dump trucks!!!! :D

all depends on trans model and rears. There seems to be more of a trend towards Cummins right now.

I love Big Trucks!! I would love to have one someday.....
Got a question for you guys..........
Are these long trucks with the bigger sleepers restricted on how long of a trailer they can tow???? I know some states have length limits (Kansas is 65ft) So if the trailer is 53ft is the truck limited to 12ft past the trailer???? How much for the extra permit to go over length???

That would look good draggin my boat:D

AZZ !:evilb:

If you are on Federal roads, I don't think you need a permit. Most trucks with just a regular sleeper, 280" WB haul 48-53' trailers 24/7.

Cummins has been throwing some heavy money at their OEM's. I know of two ex Cummins fleets that typically buy 250-300 tractors per year that cleaned their fllets out in 2006 and purchased Cat C13's. Cat had some variable valve actuator problems with 13's. When I asked the fleets about it they said it was a nuisance type problem they are working through. However, the Cummins problems they said were financially draining the company, in so many words. :(

I can't promise a delivery date on a new emission Cat motor. They do not have the R and D completed yet.

Paccar who owns Pete and KW, is branding a Cummins medium duty motor called the PX-6 and PX-8. They (Paccar)are building a new plant near Atlanta to manufacture these exclusively for Paccar.

Downtown,

If you go to the Louisville truck show ICT will have Bob Anderson's of Reliabel Carriers truck on display. Bob's truck has a 204" sleeper. Make Andy's truck that was in your shop look like a day cab.

More lights, and stainless than you could ever see on a working truck. Bob's truck is a daily driver with over 225,000 miles on the odometer. Truck is only year and half old.

Tom A. keeps him busy

My build date on a t800w Kenworth with the new 600 cat just got moved to April 9

That is a sweet truck. I think all trucks should come with a shower, that way maybe some of the drivers would get a clue and use it.

RBR2328, where was your build date?

Hey that's stereo typing.....All my guy's shower!

Beau do you take showers?:D

DT42,
How are your sales doing this year with the 06 Pre-Buy and the increased engine cost? Majority of the industry was expecting 30% downturn, but not sure what you are seeing at the retail level?

We both have 10 speed fullers and 3.90 rears. I think Macks are hard to beat when it comes to dump work. Theres a zillion dumps around here, and I would say 80% are macks. Although I would love a KW or Pete. They are great looking trucks, and contractors tend to give you a little more respect when you pull up to the job. They tend to be a little more careful with my buddies Pete and Kenworth then my Mack. I think they assume Im a company driver, and tend to whack my trailer a lot when loading me :mad:

Mack does a good job for dumps. They are very popular in Milw area as well. Parts I hear can get expensive but I guess everything is. I have several friends that run them.

The market is/will be down this year for sure. I'm guessing 30% also. New 08 engines are up 8-10k although factory is giving good credits now to keep the doors open.


There is very limited production with Cat right now. We have orders also that have been pushed back.:( In dealing with a customer, I will stand by my statement that I cannot guarantee a delivery time and will be on the contract as well. CYA_
If I could I would!!:D
