Default Re: Brand new f$cking trucks with TONS of problems

the truth to the matter is that older Mechanical trucks had less problems, had less down time and parts cost way less. the only down side was the motors needed rod,cam,main bearings sooner. A basic inframe was needed around 500K. but even with that you could rebuild 3 old motors for the price of one of these new electronics. Not to mention you could work on them yourself or find a local garage that could. Now your just about stuck to going to dealerships for repair and you better have a week or so blocked off. don't forget to take out a loan as well if your out of warranty .

Um , Mack you might want to adjust your basic in frame price .At that price I'd have bought a couple low mile mechanical trucks . I did a small cam myself for around 2K - the cam which would've added 1500 to the deal .
