We picked up the Red/Grey truck as a backup truck when we sold the middle dump truck. In a successful effort to upgrade the 2011 dump truck to a 2014. We will be able to outfit the new truck the way we wanted to with the 2011, start over with a brand new truck and enjoy some nice upgraded features and not owe any more than we previously did...
Anyways, more about Earl. He has helped us get through the last few days so far without the truck we had. Earl has almost 400,000 miles and loves to work and drive. He is fun to drive!
When we picked up Earl, we pushed him into the new enclosed trailer. We spent about a hour moving vehicles around and pulling this GMT400 into my brother's shop. We were told that the truck would not start as it had been sitting for 5 years. For giggles we put a battery in the truck to hear it crank and it started right up...
Can't complain, been driving the truck ever since... ha ha
One of the shock mounts was broken on the rear end and we re-welded it and added new shocks. They are the best shocks that we've used to date! I'll add some photos and a review later...
Here is the truck....
