A fuel fired heater outperforms a coolant heater 7 ways to Sunday. These are brand new kits in the box, with hardware and instructions, so I paid a little premium to get them.
I think he commanded a company of those trucks and trailers. He was very fond of them and has shared many stories here in the past regarding them. Dig up some of those old threads and you hear about some guys driving those 100 mph (or close to it).
I got 8 of the new fuel fired heaters from here in OKC. Once the EUC clears, several will be up for sale. Price TBD. Send me a PM if interested in one.
Sweet truck! You will definitely enjoy that truck when you need to go on future long distance recoveries. Couple to your M872, you know LTC Fankenhouser will be smiling down on you.
If a ban on discussing upcoming auctions will help to lower auction prices, then I suspect that must violate some collusion or anti-trust rules too! Hmmmmmm.....

Well good luck in your search for a truck. Whatever you end up with, just be safe and always be aware of the dynamic load. If you can't find what you need in Colorado, I have some 5 tons and 600 gallon tanks if you decide to go that route.

Your operating environment is probably the number one factor. I have seen a deuce with 1800 gallons and I have seen a 5 ton with 2500 gallons. Each of those was way overloaded and impacted the operability and longevity of the trucks. My experiences confirm for me that 1200 gallons on a 5 ton...
