But did you check for registration, insurance card, and fire extinguisher?I got an earful for taking one out that wasn't "ready". Hey it didn't a red tag, it had fuel and keys.

bring back the GMC 292 engines. Those things were underpowered but ran forever.New(er) cars have problems too, and are frequently more difficult correct when they do. Dealer also have to work them in if they are still under warranty. The Freightliner guys frequently are stumped by our unique Chevrolet powered machines.
Endless campaigns. Body kits...Still breaking apart, wiring, exhaust supports, etc. You should see the latest bit of supplemental engineering for the firewall MDC is offering.I remember when the first Workhorses arrived. They were delivered knowing they had a lot of problems. Some bad enough they had to be sent back to the factory.
I miss them.bring back the GMC 292 engines. Those things were underpowered but ran forever.
It was all there. Had a new inspection sticker on it too.But did you check for registration, insurance card, and fire extinguisher?

That's how I took it.Ready to roll
Trip permit, accident report form, dvir book, lock cores, hazmat book, telematics entered into autotel, initial inservice, check alignment(always wrong, especially Fords), etc. Should be obvious if it's ready to use. Stuff takes time.But did you check for registration, insurance card, and fire extinguisher?
They all come with the "inspection" sticker already. It's meaningless.It was all there. Had a new inspection sticker on it too.
The car was ready to run. My only mistake was parking it in a different spot than I took it from. Then someone else took it out and ripped the mirror off. LMAOThey all come with the "inspection" sticker already.
4.3 conversion. Ran great.bring back the GMC 292 engines. Those things were underpowered but ran forever.
I thought the 4.3's broke down too much.4.3 conversion. Ran great.
Check the oil. When? During your pre trip. Pre what?I thought the 4.3's broke down too much.
They weren't around very long. Short service life I thought.Check the oil. When? During your pre trip. Pre what?
My center had the 292s all gone long before the 4.3sThey weren't around very long. Short service life I thought.
I do remember when they were swapping those 4.3 V-6's to replace older 292 straight 6's but that seemed to suddenly end. My center still had 292's around long after all the 4.3's were gone.
Overworked, replaced. Sounds like the UPS labor plan.4.3 were ok if you don't mind having to replace them every 50k. They were overworked.
