Take-out engine price sheet

[mwilson]

Just got this on the fax, thought that I would share.



These are take out prices, no core.



Always good to see that the 5. 9 and 6. 7 engines are worth more than Duratrash or 6. 0 Ferd engines.



Mike.



Also, go down the sheet and see where you can possess your very own 3412E V-12 CAT engine for only $69,000. 00.

How can you beat that... .....

 

[Wingate]

Thats a freakin deal on a 3606 Cat though...

That 3412E must be a little single turbo D-10R engine...

 

[HBarlow]

I wouldn't pay that much for a Sick. Ohh or Sick Four Ferd engine if the Ferd was still wrapped around it.

hahaha... I bet you have a whole fleet of Fords in your driveway right now!!

Admit it Harvey, you are a closeted dyed it the wool blue oval fanatic!!!.



Just messin with ya Harvey... I tend to agree, Unless I could get a mint King Ranch for about $500. 00 to do a transplant... then I'm not interested. . A guy at work bought a KR 6. 0 that was really clean, he purchased it with every intention of doing a swap, but the transmission has beat the engine to the graveyard!!. Guess thats one way to keep the engine from blowing up. !!:-laf

Wingate,

Are the Ford 6. 7 CC's still alive??

Been a while since I've seen an email update on the carnage threads.

No, no Furds for me. I did own a few in years past. I bought a '94 Furd F-250HD with 460 gas big block. For a gas engine it was a good truck. The 460 produced max torque at 2400 rpm making it a far better towing motor than a 454 GM but it was a complete loser compared to any Cummins diesel.

I drove one of the first Furd Sick. Ohhs with manual six speed that a dealer had. I asked to test drive it out of curiosity with an open mind, put it in first gear, and let the clutch out like I did with my '01 HO/six speed. The Furd stalled. Everytime I let the clutch out it died. Had to rev it up like a small block Chevy and slip the clutch to get it rolling with no load! What a pos!

Several years later when I was transporting I saw lots of drivers financially ruined by fancy King Ranch duallies with catastrophic engine failures out of warranty. I still see an occasional Furd Sick. Ohh, Sick. Four, or Sick. Seven on a roll back wrecker or along the roadside when I travel. Furd diesels are good for a laugh but nothing more.

That list is messed up!!

The Cummins/Dodge should be listed as Medium Duty Diesel, not Light Duty!!!

I hauled some of those pretty Furds back from Alaska after some of those transporters got up there and broke down. Put them on our trailer and hauled them South to the lower 48 where they could afford to work on them.

Or trade them in on a real truck!!!

 

[HBarlow]

Chuckle!

John, you had the opportunity to observe those wonderful King Ranch leather Furds even closer than I did! You had a rack on the back of your IH so you could be paid to haul the pieces of junk back to the lower 48 for repair or scrapping.

 

[KB0OU]

Yes,

that 53 foot trailer could haul 3 of the Furd PU trucks after the Binder engines pucked. Those dealers in the Anchorage area loved to see them come in on the hook.

I got 2 calls from the Bennet dispatcher and 1 from the Jet dispatcher to haul them back. Got paid fairly well to haul those back. One friend of mine had his ford fail and I just had him pay for the fuel to come back and we unloaded him at Sand Point, Idaho and the local Ford dealer shop.



So, I know all about those fine Ford Diesels HA

 

[HBarlow]

How long did you pull for JET? How'd you like Dave?

 

[KB0OU]

Yea, I LUVED Dave,,,, I pulled for them when I first got started, with just my PU. Put up with them for about a year. Then I went to Bennet, after that I got the International and kinda went independant, we had a small outfit called JAMB up in Alaska that we had DOT numbers for and worked with a lot of the dispatchers in Indiana too, that was fun. You could take them or leave them, but it helped to be nice sometimes. The JAMB was set up with a guy that had the container outfit in Anchorage and he got all our backhauls, we always had stuff to haul back.

 

[HBarlow]

Now that I read your post and think about it I think I've seen one or two trucks with JAMB on magnetic signs on their doors.

Had I known about it I might have been interested in buying an mdt with a ramp back or pulling a long trailer like you did. A sleeper sure would have been nice. My annual bill for motels was enough to make a payment on a good used mdt and I slept in the trailers most of the time.

But the truth is, by October '07 I had driven 400,000 miles, survived several winters on the highways, the economy and RV sales were faltering, I had achieved my personal financial goals of retiring the mortgages on a bunch of rent houses, and I was tired.

I figured it was best to quit while I was ahead. Pulling trailers across I-80 and over mountain passes on snow and ice was, as you well know, dangerous work and I figured I had been lucky so far. I suddenly made up my mind while taking a couple days off after a trip in IN and quit.

 

[KB0OU]

Yea, they had a office in Oregon too, not sure how they are doing now, have not kept up.

 

[HBarlow]

I pulled Jaycos out of a terminal in Idaho, just above the ID/NV state line. Are you perhaps thinking of that one?

They closed that one back in '07 or '08 due to slow sales.

Wingate,

Been a while since I've seen an email update on the carnage threads.

Transmissions... . turbos... . Fuel leaks on the engine that require cab removal to repair, splitting air pipes, some random water pump failures, mine is on its 4th DEF pump and 3rd NOX sensor... No valve failures recently, but summer is coming on. .

 

[HBarlow]

Wow, that's a sad record. If it wasn't for a lot of dumbaxxes Furd would have to terminate their diesel truck segment.

Furd diesels and the occupant of the White House show what a stupid nation we are.

 

[KB0OU]

Harvey,

Pendleton, Oregon,,, gotta love Emigrant Hill just East of there, I saw several 18 wheeler burn on that hill.

 

[HBarlow]

John,

I pulled my own old Travel Supreme fifthwheel home away from home out to Pendleton and set it up at the Pilot RV Park next to the Pilot Truck Stop in Stanfield, OR, the next town west of Pendleton while I was pulling for Horizon Transport. We pulled a lot of Keystones out of the plant at Pendleton. I liked working the west coast out of Pendleton and could usually get a back haul out of Moreno Valley back to OR, WA, BC, or AB.

Bennett pulled Fleetwoods out of the other plant in Pendleton.

Emigrant Hill was a serious grade eastbound or westbound in to Pendleton and got plenty of snow!

 

[KB0OU]

Yea, sometimes when our backhauls took us to the West we would load up at Pendleton or a couple of other places out there and head back to Anchorage, usually we would go up through Dease Lake, BC on the Cassiar Hwy, it saved some miles. When U are that far West.

 

[HBarlow]

You must have run back and forth to AK many times. That would be a good paycheck.
