So I would have to assume its wear and tear is very light?!?!

Yes I understand the obvious differences in the trucks. I’m cool with an A2 or 1165. But people have scared me with the REV trucks being expensive for parts. basically I need to find a good one and be prepared for repairs. I’m an engineer by trade and have built my own house from scratch and...

I’ll try to respond to all of you: I guess honestly I don’t really know what to look for. I’m only considering runners with out missing gauges and stuff like that. Hopefully no blow by or leaks. Ones that look decent or rust free. I’ve been looking at the radiators to see if any fins are...

Just as the title say, what should I expect from a running and “complete” auction truck? I never considered the auctions because the prices have been so high these past few years but, they have really come down now. How many minor problems to repair, missing things, etc. what’s the...

what exactly makes a REV more expensive to own? I assume you mean the maintenance? How do the REV trucks differ from the ECV trucks? am I correct the ECVs trucks are the 285000 bins vrs 30000 and up? I assume with those payload ratings the springs are stiff as ?!$& I am trying to educate...

How do you mean?

I don’t know much about all the different models and all that. I never looked at the ECVs trucks because they always cost so much more and I thought the extended nose looked ridiculous There’s one 1165a1 up next week that is a 31600 vin but I’m not sure the pluses and minuses to them v the...

Lots of 1097R1s. How’s an R1 different than the A2s??

Ok, I have checked the auctions sparingly over the years and I thought I was dreaming. Why are trucks like that going so “cheap” now when a few months ago it seemed like 40-50k. a non running 1151 didn’t even sell at 2500. I’ve been watching and wanting to buy something but I didn’t count on...

Well I called CA conversions and their Allison trans was going to be 15k!! Holy cow almost 3x what I was expecting.

FWIW Plan b has 46k on their website for a swap. Mash motors is 41k Predator is 59k. Mogman- how much do you charge lol!!

Unique pitman arm? Is that with the heavier gearbox?

I assume the duramax would be quieter than the Cummins right?

I’m a total novice but my understanding was that a company like ca conversions has figured out the Allison stand alone issue and imyou could order a reman unit straight from them.

4k for a donor truck seems really cheap

What are the companies doing these swaps? I can admit it would be way over my head. I’d feel more comfortable trying a 12v Cummins but even that I am not qualified to do.

I did! Very helpful convo.

I went for a ride in a 998 the other day, with soft top and no doors. I didn’t find it very loud

But I don’t want a keep I want a humvee! (Or Hummer)

I don’t mind doing the work. I built my own house and get dirty every day. If it were just me I’d buy one with the rod hall suspension and fix it myself. but I have to be realistic. I have no time to fix this up and no shop to do it in anymore. If I ever hope to use this thing it’ll need...
