    Yup. But small diesels are made of gold and are expensive for a swap.

    Hmmmmm.... seeing like Pelfreybilt is the next business with internal problems with getting their products out on a timely manner. Watching on T4R and their facebook postings. I had good customer services with them, hate to see them go under.

    They had @Speed Freek doing the installs but then wanted him to commute from Vista to El Cajon to do the installs there. He wasn't interested...

    Manufacturing plus service installs is hard stuff to pull off.

    I think the rent of the larger place and steel costs shooting through the roof certainly isnt helping them. Hope they pull through tyler is a cool guy.

    Maybe going off sale trends and opening a new location on a loan plus more equipment and material. Couple months of less profit than anticipated and there yea go

    Agreed. It's happened too many times in the past. I really hope they can work it out, they have solid designs.

    Fabrication is a difficult process. Skilled labor. I look at the numbers when I make my own part I'm like how the heck you make money off this.
