Correct me if I am wrong but if your headed downhill and maybe the engine brake is shut off - limiter or no, you can and will be over 105. There's about a 6% hill around here where local PD likes to sit right at the bottom - mostly aimed at cars though, the trucks need to be within the limit...

A few others

Well after a bit of playing with it in the industrial park around the dealer I mananged to get it the 15 miles for inspection and back - was already starting to feel more comfortable on the way back. Watching the mechanic drive and give a few quick tips on his short test drive. Most times...

Are these engines any good on reliability and longevity? I was looking for a 5 or 6 year old diesel around $15K but a dealer has an 07 GMC cutaway, 21K miles - price reduced from $25.5K to $21.5K. Truck is for city use with short highway runs mixed in - I need around 40K miles per year for 3-5...

Thanks all for the tips, hopefully it won't be too hard to get down the road. As mentioned its a weekend, only about 10 potential stops steady speed in between and about 15 miles to get it to the mechanic for a looksee. The 3126 with 6 speed I drive now I try to apply that progressive method...

Also, am I correct in thinking that in any given gear there is 1 gears available above or below that can be selected without making hamburger?

Well it looks like I may have to try driving this T300 before getting some lessons on shifting a 10 speed, there's only about 10 potential stops between the dealer and where I need to get it for an inspection and traffic should be minimal on a weekend. I know the procedure, 1 through 5 -...

Maybe you should tag your truck to see how they work. :)

My deal is with Inland KW who also has US dealerships, although those locations are a long way from WA state plus its a used truck - not much point getting a new one there I think unless you wanted to pay more.

It's good for me too, the slide over the last week has taken around 1300 of the price of the truck, burn baby burn. LOL Good for our customers too, their stuff is getting cheap again.

Is GW to blame for the loonie's slide too?

Wow, that's really fast. I found a place online over in Spokane that can do it in a week or less. Not as fast as Speedco (nearest is Aurora, OR) but fast enough - its a pre-buy test and I still need to find another a 1 ton so it should be fine.

It was my understanding that if the load falls below reportable quantities/doesn't need placards you can haul it without.............but don't get haz "mad" :) What is the product?

Turtle, I copied your reply and emailed it to the warehouse - they are billing the snowboard outfit an hour border delay. LOL

Was it new? Being near the border there is often talk about US car dealers being told by the manufacturers they represent, not to sell to Canadian buyers Some of them adhere to that while others actively seek out Canadian sales and advertise the fact. Of course not many are coming south for...

Anyone know of a place that can do an Oil Analysis and not take weeks to get back the results? Ideally somewhere that can get it done in under a week after receipt. Thanks

Ever thought of looking in Canada? I've been watching prices on truckpaper, EO classifieds and elsewhere for months now but since I am right on the border and go to Vancouver daily I was looking there as too. Well I found what looks to be quite a good deal even if I end up paying their asking...

That's entirely possible, been a bit ripe the last two days. LOL The inspector was asking me if I drove right up or was there another truck there. Turns out there was another drive and I know him so I figure he owes me lunch for taking the blame. :)

nanna's probably came in bond from overseas, I don't think they grow them here. The hand held thingie's are a third level radiation detectors and from watching yesterday I think they have another one for neutron detection. Given turtle's great reply I'm guessing that neutron alarms primarily...

Did you knock on wood when you said that? Of course now that you've said that.......... Most likely down to laziness on their part, some just can't be bothered. We had a rental for about 6 weeks that crossed daily and only got charged maybe a half dozen times.
