SOME ADDITIONS - TRUCK WAS SHIPPED TO AB WITH 19.5 TIRES DUE TO SHORTAGE @ TIME. ACCEPTED DELIVERY @ AB BY DRIVER - DIDN'T FIND ANY OF THE CHANGES UNTIL AFTER IT WAS PAID FOR & DELIVERED. I WILL NEVER BUY A TRUCK THAT WAY AGAIN. CIRCUMSTANCES DEMENDED IT AT THE TIME - DRIVER WAS W/O...

JUST VENTING A LITTLE BIT - Purchased a m2-106 from Alumibunk (AB) in March '05. Also purchased a ProHeat @ the same time from AB. was given a spec sheet by fax as to what was supposed to be on the truck. 33,000 gvw, Meritor front & rear axles, Michelin tall 22.5 rubber, etc. Trouble is -...

HAS ANYONE OUT THERE HAD A REAL HORROR STORY @ ALUMIBUNK(AB) ????? I PURCHASED A NEW M2-106 WITH AN 84" SLEEPER ON IT AND A PROHEAT. I WAS GIVEN A SPEC SHEET LISTING WHAT I WAS TO EXPECT ON THE TRUCK. UPON TAKING DELIVERY I FOUND THAT INSTEAD OF A 33,000 GVW IT WAS 29,700 FROM THE FACTORY AND...

yes you should join ooida - as should all others. it is a great group. i became a life member this year. the way to be heard is in numbers. a lot of great info is available from them in the magazine they send out. good luck getting good insurance cheap.

tom, just a note - keep a close eye on the oil return line on the air compressor and on the huiy pump. these lines were replaced by steel braid lines when they fail. they were not recalled as they should have been. if the original rubber lines are on there - replace them NOW before you lose...

joe' like some have said - run from this one unless the price is REALLY right - almost nothing. the average 466 will run 450 - 550k befor needing a rebuild @ about $7k. however, the injection pump which is mechanical is very expensive to have rebuilt or replaced. and they usually don't last...

as in earlier replies - specing the engine/trans/rear end ratio is all important. the class 8 will definitely hold value better. it also will last twice as long. i have a pete 330 now that only gets 8-9 mpg but that is due to the rear end ratio being too low @ 4.something. it turns 2000+ rpm @...
