I definetly jumped in with little knowledge at all, but was at least looking for service records which is one of the reasons I liked Ryder trucks. My lack of knowledge on certain issues regarding truck conversions is why I started the site.

My mistake was looking for the least expensive truck which I felt was still in good condition. I was looking at things like tires, exterior items and not the real important stuff. I was lucky the motor(M11 Cummins) in my FLD 120 is in excellent condition. But the cooling system was shot, I have steel wheels which are giving me problems along with a out of round tire. I plan to go to aluminum rims and Michelin tires. I guess what I am saying is I should have been looking at a $25,000 - $30,000 truck and eliminated some of the issues I am currenlty having.
