Don't feel singled out. Just about everyone gets the same treatment when they first show up. It lets them them know that Yes, I am full of hot-sauce and have strong opinions towards people ACTUALLY MAKING A PROFIT THEY CAN KEEP without giving it to over-priced repair shops and to the already rich oil companies unnecessarily because of excess fuel consumption. That is my protest towards big oil and the over-priced repair shop/OEM rip-offs!. Some words about this: http://rawze.com/forums/showthread.php?t...8#pid21288

moving on...

You say you just got the truck 3 weeks ago. How much of the maintenance report mentioned here do you think your truck would pass?

How much of this stuff did you do BEFORE PUTTING IT ON THE ROADS!??

How much you want to bet that if I had just purchased a used truck, I WOULD HAVE DONE EVERY DAMN SINGLE BIT OF THOSE THINGS!. All those things are required to get that truck in tip top shape before putting it into service. WHY WOULD IT TAKE THE TIME TO DO ALL THAT STUFF?? -- Not because I just simply want to waste my time,... IT IS BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT ACTUALLY TAKES TO STAY PROFITABLE,.. and that is keeping the truck road worthy , making sure it consumes the least amount of fuel possible, and preventing any sort of downtime.


NEXT: Your obviously having emissions system / engine issues right out of the gate. THAT IS EXPECTED 100% OF THE TIME when buying used equipment, and solely is caused from sheer neglect of those systems by the previous owner. 75% of the time, IT IS WHY THE TRUCK WAS SOLD TO BEGIN WITH! because trucks typically do not get sold if they are running good and making someone a decent profit. It is when they start acting up, or something start going wrong, not worth repairing by the previous owner, they are sold. This falls right in line in why you sold your last truck. The next poor bastard who purchases it will end up right here on my forum with the same complaints you had. This time though, they will be able to turn it around and make the money with it that you lost out on.

Do the things mentioned above in my previous post(s) to get the emissions systems back into an operable state. It just takes some bit of effort to do, and no shop is going to do those things because they are usually too stupid, nor care about making your truck run ok, just want to make a quick fix and take your money.

Your first post heavily implies that you never learned the lessons necessary to being successful on the first truck you owned. NOW you can move forward because you have found this place, and some A-hole (Rawze) has pointed this out harshly and directly that YOU are the only one who can make your equipment profitable, not anyone else.


You have a second truck, a second chance (though you should have just likely straightened out what you had properly, that would have been more profitable) ... NOW GO SHUT IT DOWN AND AND DO ALL THOSE THINGS mentioned on the maint/ schedule I posted a link for. That is a good start. Print that schedule out, grumble, and curse and work through it. Spend a few days to ACTUALLY DO ALL THAT STUFF AT LEAST ONCE very thoroughly and you will start to get a picture of what I complained about in my post above.

Say to yourself,.. "If that A-Hole Rawze can do this,.. SO CAN I!". - Make me look bad, because that is you goal,.. TO BE ABLE TO DIRECTLY COMPETE FOR FREIGHT AND RATES AGAINST PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF WHO ARE ALREADY VERY SUCCESSFUL IN TRUCK OWNERSHIP!.

I give away all the know-how freely to anyone wanting to take their truck and do with it exactly what I would do with it. - What I do is repeatable, and you had better believe me when I say I could take exactly your truck and make it into something very profitable. This is even if I had to start from the bottom with not a dime to my name.





- In life, people can take away your stuff, but they can never take away KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL!. - It is the one thing that if you don't invest in for yourself as much as possible,.. you only hurt yourself and your wallet.
