some history... etc?.

And you keep saying you ain't got no moneys.. THAT IS A REALLY BAD PLACE TO BE IN TRUCKING!!!... ESPECIALLY AS A TRUCK OWNER!!!!....

If you cannot afford to finance and properly maintain/replace proper components on your truck and do proper repairs then you need to go get a job as a company driver for a while and save up to do the repairs right.

As far as engine is concerned ... If it actually needs replacing due to not being able to inframe it at all ... then put back in it what came out of it,.. plain ans simple.

And if the engine is in bad enough shape to need an inframe.. then that is the best opportunity to INVEST IN THE TRUCKS PROFITABILITY AND FUTURE by going all out and making that enigne into a million mile gem that will give lots of years of service life (and profits) .. instead of trying to replace it with something just as questionable and wasting all your damn moneys.

(Nickel and Dime trucking) ...
I kick people off of here for constantly saying/bic#ching that their broke all the damn time and then trying to nickel their way thru their repairs and trucking operations. There is no place for half-arsse, band-aide trucking on my forum!!. There is no profit or moneys in doing things that way and nothing but grief for everyone with that general attitude, and I do not want it to be a part of this place!.

so WAKE THE H##$LL UP AND START FIGURING OUT WHAT YOUR DOING SO DAMN WRONG TO BE SO DA$M BROKE AS A TRUCK OWNER !!!. GET A DAMN HANDLE ON WHATEVER BAD DECISIONS YOU HAVE MADE OR GO BACK TO BEING A COMPANY DRIVER UNTIL YOU CAN GET ENOUGH CAPITOL TO DO THINGS RIGHT AND RELIABLY AND START OVER!.

Some recently bad decisions and a death in the family have wiped out the funds and fund stream.

Firstly bought the new to us knowing it had some issues. We ordered the parts to take care of the known issues. Had some reserve funds to take care of other issues, but not enough for a complete out of frame overhaul due to metal going through the engine and wiping out the crank. The crank has marks that you can catch a fingernail on. Therefore at the very least the crank needs to be polished and block jet cleaned and all oil passages scrubbed.

Truck ran and sounded good on test drive. There was no indication of the nightmare we were going to find during the overhead.


Secondly worst decision, Sold the truck we were running till this point to a friend in need on weekly payments, so yes they’ll be money coming in but not fast enough to cover this.

Myself and my wife literally live in the truck on the road. It’s our livelihood and our home.

Medical bills and funeral costs wiped out our reserves that would’ve covered these big expenses and covered our day to day bills until truck was completed.

There’s no company driver position that’s going to pay enough to put us back on track. Therefore the short term solution is to get a used engine, put this truck back together and get back to work. Save up our reserve funds then build the engine the right way.
