Gambi80 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Sounds like the same story that one guy on here had finding that truck sitting in Memphis(?)...Make sure the mice didn't eat all the wiring (maybe that's only me on the farm having that problem)...seals going bad maybe?

Rob Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 did some checking around, nobody wants their freight on a 12 yr. old truck regaurdless of miles.i knew it was to good to be true.That is the same thing I was told in 1980 when I purchased a 1970 IH 4000 with a 250 Cummins and 24ft. "Anthony" dump trailer from the original owner. This truck had only 36,000 miles, (actual) and I couldn't get any work because of the age except what wouldn't pay the incurred costs. Times haven't changed that much.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

RowdyRebel Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 did some checking around, nobody wants their freight on a 12 yr. old truck regaurdless of miles.i knew it was to good to be true.dammit...a '98 ain't all that much older than my '01 ...and I sure as hell ain't gonna get rid of IT just because its "old". As long as it runs strong and does what I need it to, it'll stick around. Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

BAD DOG Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 dammit...a '98 ain't all that much older than my '01 ...and I sure as hell ain't gonna get rid of IT just because its "old". As long as it runs strong and does what I need it to, it'll stick around. Age don't mean nothing to a good carrier. I'd rather have an old piece of equiptment that's well maintained than a new one that isn't maintained. The guy seems pretty high on the price of that truck though.

cgallamore Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 i thought the price was high,but it is pre emission with 30,000 miles guess its worth what ever some one will give. if it werent for the rejections for being to old i would give that for it, or if i had a dedicated run that made the age a non issue Quote http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/uploads/1272400769/gallery_4852_794_314995.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveigou Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 i can't find much on that thing, but what I did find showed it as only being put into service Sept. 2009. If that is legit, there may be factory warranty on that thing. Check it out.Dave Quote See my Flickr photostream page http://www.flickr.com/photos/96692978@N05/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
