    My Hino Nightmare

    Yes, my lease is "the piece of mind plan" LOL To tell you the truth, I think any class 6 truck is gonna need work at 200K. I might be wrong but my last job had plent of problems with the Freightliner M2 and before that the International. These class 6 trucks are only good for about 350 to 400K

    My Hino Nightmare

    Got may truck back finally, It's nice to be in my truck and I made it home 22 miles with no problems lol. It now feels more powerful, probably due to new injectors and turbo.:) I hope the next 150K is trouble free, the first 194K was fairly trouble free up until this last problem.

    not much room to manuever a pallet jack, some place you can use the dock if they have the plate that goes lower, not all have that though. I used a pallet puller, it worked well, although floor got scratched and gouged
