    Ya, I figured it was just the truck, but it is still a heck of a deal. We didn't get to buy the property, so now we are still waiting on a trustee to figure out what is going on. Then on other property, my sister figured out how to legally take possession of my mother's house..... Between the...

    Automatic Transmission

    OK, since it is an Allison my only suggestion is to do an oil sample. Personally I would use JG Lubricant Services. The owner of that business was an engineer for Alison and has lots of experience with them. He also wrote the specifications used by Allison.

    Automatic Transmission

    How it handles the mountains depends on what it is. Is it an auto shift (manual trans that shifts by computer) or is it an Allison auto? Depending on the model of Allison it could do fairly well. How many forward gears does it have? Most auto shift are either 10 or 12 speed transmissions and the...

    RV stop at weigh stations??

    I still didn't see any that said Motorhomes, but then again I may have missed it. You are more than welcome to stop, but I can't say as I have ever seen an RV that wasin a weigh station except for transporters. I don't plan on stopping.

    RV stop at weigh stations??

    I have been in 47 states and four provinces of Canada and can't ever recall seeing any signs like that. Can you tell me which ones they are?

    Just an idea

    So, what would be the advantage of a pintle? It would be a bit of a challenge to back up, plus the pup type trailers aren't exactly the most stable from what I have seen.

    I would like your option

    Norm, what you want to do is no more overkill that anyone else using a class 8 for camping. Look at it this way, you can get more of a class 8 truck for the same money as a diesel powered pick-up. You will get more comfort in the cab, more power under the hood, much more longevity in the...

    I know what I want

    I am currently with State Farm and talked to my agent a while back. I told him what I wanted to do and he said "No problem, about $1000 a year". I have not purchased a truck yet so I don't know how valid the pricing or policy actually was. You may try checking with State Farm.

    a new canadian member with motor swap questions

    Welcome!! The first thing that comes to mind is do you need to have your older truck emissions checked? If the answer is no, then I would not hesitate to do that swap. The old NTC350 is a great engine. I drove a semi with one and a 13 speed that pulled 122,000 pounds over a 3 mile long 6% with...

    Here in Minnesota the DOT says that if you are racing then you are racing for a prize and therefore are racing "for profit" and by doing so you NEED DOT numbers on the side of your tow vehicle no matter what it is.

    good conversion candidate from ebay

    Interesting feedback. Sounds about like the 2006 Volvo that was advertised on Craigslist for $6400. Person claimed to be from Missouri, in Nebraska (military), truck was somewhere else, they were being transferred to Alaska, would ship truck to me and allow me five days to decide and ship truck...
