Popular Post Superdog Posted June 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2014 As of 3 pm central time,today,6-21-14 Mike Harbison Trucking has officially backed out of the 21 st century. Sent our 2007 Rawhide to a new home in North Dakota. No more ECM,no more EGR,no more EUP's,no more lightning bolts and code flashing,no more $100/hr labor bills,just good old fashioned throttle linkage,injection pumps,and black smoke. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
