Jeep is GONE!

Yea I pull out of Indiana and it is a haul to the west coast for sure. Last week I left my house in NC went to Indiana then to Oakland CA then back to Indian and back to NC all in one week.

I'm not really a "hot shot" although that term has been used to describe any 1 ton pulling commercially. The term really belongs to the 1 ton trucks pulling in the oil fields. They get priority loads of parts needed to get to rigs in the middle of nowhere. Pretty much rig is down lots of money being lost get the parts there no matter what. And after eeing some of these roads and temperatures out here they deserved the term "hot shot trucker"

was wondering the same thing- 7mons, 102k on the truck? i know i changed my oil in my CRD every 15k, and they werent cheap

Your reading that correctly I have about 104000 on it now LOL and I change my oil twice a month minimum sometimes I change it once a week. I'm also on my second set of tires as well. So when I say I've been busy you can see I ain't exaggerating. I'm going to get a bypass oil filter system and start doing oil samples instead of blindly changing oil by mileage that should save me some money.

That truck will go for 400,000 miles if serviced properly

I'm hoping for 500000. I put $200 a week in my maintenance fund and follow the severe duty schedule. I'm hopping to save up and at least get the EGR system taken off the engine. That should really help it last longer.
