Just steal icanfixall's truck, enough spare parts behind the seat to repair 10 trucks.
Na, he's a commercial vehicle... Gary's truck would get him an overweight ticket with all the spares he;'s got stuffed behind the seat
Just steal icanfixall's truck, enough spare parts behind the seat to repair 10 trucks.
I need a vehicle that is near 100% dependable. I have an E350 XLT that had superb maint it's entire life, 270,000 miles. I've gone through all the systems and replaced everything that looked aged, and will carry a fair amount of spare parts and tools.
I'm thinking of using mine for aircraft maint calls, often at deserted airports. I'll also be driving for 100-200 miles on very rural roads, with no cell phone coverage, and the nearest Autozone store 75 miles away.
I can fix most mechanical problems myself, but a mechanical delay of 2-3 hrs in getting to an aircraft, would probably mean losing that client's future business.
So, is anyone using an IDI in a similar situation?
A pic from last summer -- 'Still feel this 22 year old truck is just as (or more) reliable then a new one.
interesting suggestion.
I know nothing about SSB or ham radio.
I guess I'd have to contact another ham operator, and ask him to make a cell phone call for me if I needed assistance.
IDI powered hands down will give you the most relaibility with the least cost of maintenance or repairs IMO. That is the very reason i have chosen my fleet to be 86-94 trucks for the most part, I have one powersmoke in the fleet couldn't pass on it for a grand. Go bu powerstroke injectors, and tell me how you feel. Wait until a glow plug or injector harness goes bad, or a hpop. Forget about all that nonsense, and go the tried and true mechanical diesel route. You will not win a lot of races, but you may win some. The real advantage is relaibility, and thriftiness.
the races well win are the ones where the elctronics go out f our opponents trucks. or the cops start shooting EMP's around
