Spoken like a true salesman Charles !! Jk, there is no business without sales other than the government.....
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Man that’s a nice score. I’d love to find something around here like that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Went and grabbed this today, 46 Ford for $500 w/ title. Buddy is making a ramp truck out of it for his auburn. See video of his work below. https://debossgarage.com/iqcs2020/entry/1587872266-1932-auburn-brougham?category=most-factreeSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I had to add a piece of equipment to the inventory this morning
Quote from: Bigdave_185 on May 17, 2020, 11:07:05 AMI want a truck update also Nate! I haven’t heard anything good about the new 19/20 duramax or Ford. Unless your pulling constantly so the trailer is nothing special. it is a 76" x 10' dump trailer, 2 x 5200lb axles, 24" sides, swing/dump gate, ramps. trailer weighs 2700lbs so that gives me 7300lbs payload which is enough with a little room to spare for anything I will do with it. maybe some mulch, some limb/yard clean up dump runs, hauling edging pavers, and if I need it for some reason...I can haul almost a cord and a half of wood in it with weight to spare. I did have an opportunity for an 83" x 12', 2 x 7k axles, scissor lift, everything else the same for $1500 more. but I just could not justify having a trailer that big for the pure fact of "just because".dave, as far as the truck goes. It is an 18' model that I bought sept of 17'. I have never had any MAJOR issues with it. it had a recall to correct a dpf issue (didn't cause me a problem), it had a recall to replace the block heater element (didn't cause me a problem), I had a hood latch sensor go out on it which threw a couple other non-related codes (I think it does that just to get you to go in and get it replaced), and I had a coolant reservoir level sensor go out. so all in all, it had 4 issues, 2 were serious enough for recall/repair notices but didnt cause me any problems and 2 were just the average cost of owning a vehicle with so many sensors/etc on it and were not serious problems to begin with. as a reference point....I bought this truck with 2 miles on it, and 2 days later with the clock at 80 miles, i hooked my big trailer to it, set my cruise control at 75 and drove it straight 2k miles back to washington to get the second load of house stuff. fast forward 1 month, roughly 3500 miles on the clock and roughly 12k lbs (trailer was a little over loaded) later i was headed back to NE. with my cruise set at 70-75, up over the blue mountains, over the rockies by you with out it even breaking the 220deg mark on the gauge, or so much as a hiccup. at least once a month it gets a straight 1k miles put on it with us going to either her parents house or up to my grandfathers house. the DEF consumption on it is pretty minimal unless I am towing something with it. so at 2.5 years old, 55k on the clock, oil and fuel filters changed religiously every 10k, run thru the car wash at least once a month, this is a great truck and worth close to what I paid for it (my right testicle, left leg and right are have just about grown back...lol)i hope that helps?
