Vehicle Detail
NO RESERVE This is a great truck. It is 4x4, turbo diesel, dump truck with an 8ft power angle Meyer snow plow. This truck is 12,000 lb GVWR, and has no trouble hauling anything I have ever thrown at it. I boxed in the stakebed for hauling. The top is hinged so that a front loader can load gravel straight in the top, and then it flips back to cover the top of the box. The truck was primarily used for hauling wood and wood chips cut up by the chipper it towed behind it. The Good: Dump Bed is PTO driven (not electric) Starts and runs well. Turbo Boost Gauge Installed on A Pillar Exhaust system upgraded from the turbo back with Diamond Eye Exhaust This truck can be loaded down and tow to capacity without getting hot (see also the bad) Has a combination 2" Ball / Pintle Hitch 4X4 Engages properly Braided Stainless Oil Cooler Lines Remote Mounted PMD (Below Bumper) Fluid Damper harmonic balancer Installed 2 new batteries this winter Complete new brake lines front an back. ABS Brakes function properly. The plywood chip box can be unbolted from the stake body dump, and is painted inside and out with 3 coats of premium (Behr) outdoor paint. This is a couple hundred dollars worth of hardware, paint and wood. Tool storage on the side of the box for rakes, shovel, broom and pitchfork (none of these included) This chip box is perfect for working in yards, has no trouble passing under power lines to residential housing, but is big enough to hold lots of material. Bed Size is 9 ft long x 7'6" wide with 4ft tall sides and a hinged top. THE BAD: Although the sheetmetal on the truck is good, just as it looks in the pictures, I did a fiberglass repair to the corner of the cab. This is shown in one of the pictures. The truck still looks good, and I was never embarrassed by it on a job site. The fiberglass work is solid & passes inspection, but it isn't pretty. The back right tail light is zip tied back in place. The plow is a huge 8'6" wide unit, and tall. It blocks a ton of air. It has no trouble under 45 MPH. Above that speed the starts to get hot with the plow on. It doesn't matter if it is 32 degrees or minus 32 degrees, above 45 plus a hill the temp will start moving higher. I don't know how high it will go, I have never let it boil over, but don't plan on cruising the freeway with the plow on this truck. If that is important to you, you could try a "Plow Flow Master" to allow the truck to go faster with the plow on it, or get a different truck ( or maybe a smaller plow). (see the good: this truck will not overheat on the hottest day of summer fully loaded down... unless you put the plow on the front - see video 2). In the truck's defense there is a sticker on the sunvisor from the plow mfg. stating not to go above 45 mph, but I doubt their reason had anything to do with this? UPDATE: I will load the plow in the bed of the truck for your drive home. Heater fan only works in the first 3 out of 4 positions. There is a seat cover on the bench seat, part of the drivers side is ripped out of the seat. It is not uncomfortable, but it is there. - UPDATE, the cover is gone, see the seat in video 1. THE VIDEO You can see a video from today with a cold start and a drive with the plow on it. It is about 18 minutes long, like test driving it yourself (but you wouldn't have to hold a camera). http://youtu.be/N-57wX0J43A (updated link... sorry for the delay, had issues with youtube) VIDEO 2 - with the plow off, and a couple warm starts at the end. This video is shorter and shows a typical run with the truck. http://youtu.be/75L4aYuPP50 If you would like to see anything else, let me know.
