Truck crapped the bed yesterday

Tennesseahawk · Jan 14, 2011

Looks like it blew a head gasket. Until I can finance another truck, I'll be driving for someone. Still have to find someone to salvage it. Not to mention I have one more payment to go.

I dare not say, "What else can go wrong?"

But it seems like I've seen it all.

That REALLY sucks!! Sure wish I had a way to help you out. I do know the feeling.

I appreciate the thought. I just needed to vent.

You know, I dont know who you have it financed through, but when I had my truck financed through Pacaar financial,They offered to finance major repairs,including rebuilds, as long as a balance was owed on the truck.Might be worth a shot.Then there may be shops who finace the work as well.I cant remember the actual name, but there was a place outside of Dayton,Oh, who financed the work a s well.

The truck is in Superior, WI. It's a Freightliner Centurty with a C-12 in it.

Guido... the engine has 800k on it, and the truck itself is not worth replacing or repairing the engine.

Unfortunately, the repair would be more than I believe I could get for the truck.

I do agree. Some sales people get paid by units moved, not by profit margins.

Hawk,

Is it your truck that is on with us? If so I can have the shop take a look and see what can possibly be done. We also have dealt with Michigan Truck Parts up in Westland. They buy salvage units.

Thanks, John. Yes... the truck is on with you. Unfortunately, it's in Superior, WI. I wish I could bring it in.
