Just the fact that they cleared out a bunch of their Diesel inventory a couple of months ago and we bought a bunch stuff here cheap. That is the only reason they got talked about a lot, Price point.

Price... ;Sweet

The U-haul stuff is cheap, and they don't have a core charge for most of it.

Forget about it, they don't ship to Canada anyhow. You would have to have an address in the states to ship to and pickup there.

You might contact Frank at U-haul, I understand some of the parts came from Canada to a central shipping point, Kansas City, MO there main warehouse. Check here for any parts left.

For performance, gotta spend a couple of thousand.

There stuff was speed limited through gearing mostly, especially the MDTs. I think the 1 ton cut-aways had overspeed buzzers to keep you from exceeding their desired speed.

I'll ship you a pump for $275. No injectors left on U-haul anymore.

be careful on how long you plan on parking one of these on a shelf. my guess is that they have been built for some time. i've installed three of them and all had the vinyl caps on them still but they were hardened. Also, filling the filter with pump lube would not be a bad idea. all three were sluggish in revving up for a little bit untl they were warmed up.
