    Using Jet Fuel in Freighliner with MB450

    You ask that last question, but you didn't tell us who made your engine. Freightliner doesn't make engines. I'm an ex trucker, and if it's a cummins it has a better jake brake switch if equipped, and if it's a detroit diesel, they run hot on hills, if youre going up a big hill and your temp gets...

    Are Truck Conversions ever "Repossessed" and then resold for a big discount?

    Carfax will, in some situations, tell you where the vehicle came from. When i say some situations, it is sometimes possible to change the VIN when you do a major conversion, i'm told.

    Can a Truck Conversion be shipped on another truck or railroad across states/country?

    I'll driveaway ship it for you, let me know where you want to ship it to/from and give me your phone number and i'll be in contact with you. I have a class A CDL with hazmat, doubles/triples, and tankers, so it'll be safe. But.....why not just drive it yourself? If you have a driveaway shipper...

    Pulling an 86 volvo 245 with 4 on the ground?

    I'm thinking about building a motorhome out of a volvo semi, but, if i do that (as opposed to pulling a fifth wheel), i'll have to bring my car with me when i take it somewhere (i'll be living in it full time). So, it's an 86 volvo 245, that means it's old and rear wheel drive. Is it that bad...

    Thinking about converting a 1990 volvo semi tractor

    The easiest way to register that traileris to say the trailer is assembled. No matter what it started as, whether its scrap steel or a 53' van, after you're done with the conversion, wouldn't you say you built it? There won't be a vin number, and the year will be the current year. Here in...

    Thinking about converting a 1990 volvo semi tractor

    I'm not worried about the double axles, i only mentioned that because it's why i dont want to use it as a truck The truck weighs less than 18,000lb and the rear axle can legally have 20,000 or so pounds on it, and i really dont think im going to build a 10,000lb house. I want to do it...

    Thinking about converting a 1990 volvo semi tractor

    I'm a trucker and was thinking about buying this truck to drive as a truck, but nobody will lease it on because it's a single axle. It's set up for mobile home hauling right now, but i could easily convert it to pretty much anything. Nobody's buying mobile homes at the moment, so thats a no-go...
