My truck and 2 car trailer! - Page 9

yeah i am at 210 per ton on steel.But these things are mostly aluminum which i think it $0.5x something

Well the truck laid down.I think the lift pump went out.I am going to try to get it going in the next few days.**** diesel problems lol

Well got the new lift pump on it today and it is now fixed.Oh yeah back on the road.

Man with the holidays and stuff coming up i havent done anything but need to get something going lol.

Well my trans in the truck is slipping and i am hoping it makes it through the winter.I can have it converted to a 5 speed for $2500 which isnt bad then i wouldnt have to worry about that for quite sometime.


Also today i went to a huge equipment auction to try to buy some scrap equipment and boy oh boy that is a totally different world.Stuff sold way way over scrap prices.I guess most buyers bought this stuff to part it out which would be great money i guess.But i have no clue on the big stuff.
I think i am going to learn more about it though

does anyone know much about the big equipment stuff?

yeah i just dont know what sells best for scrap and what you can buy and part out.

Still getting 3 - 5 cars a week average
My driveway a little crowded today
I got the red caravan out today,
As you can see we pull batteries, Alternators, starters, Radiators, AC Condenser, and as much wire as we can get
Then we do the Dash board, for the wire and cooling and heating heat exchangers.
I have found easiest to go thru the floor for the cat on the caravans




and the Jeep went out today ,

The Honda will go first thing in the AM tomorrow

Blue Toyota truck I am keeping to use as a beater vehicle >> I have to put a cat on it, someone stole the cat before I towed it


The 94 Ranger Pickup is only 2 wheel drive and needs a clutch, only 50K original miles 1 owner, I might keep that or do the clutch and sell

Hey johnC, if you dont already, make sure you save the body control modules off those caravans/town and country's. They are worth a nice little bit on Ebay. The transmissions are usually worth something to if you're feeling ambitious. Will your yard take the Taurus without a title? Or do you have to chop it up?

With my yard >> As long as the vehicle is at least 10 model years old >> No title >> No Problem
Just hate squishing a good running vehicle
I don't have the time or energy to pull the trans's
The ECM's and other cores I pull based on what RAS core is paying for them, I do sell some on eBay using the same ID I use here

Yeah i like that phone.I still want just the note 2 lol.What cell service do you have?

On the caravan's the last few i have got i have been able to unbolt them so not to bad on that.

Have u had much luck with ras core lately?I always run into i am 1 number off so it is worthless.They are supposed to be changing it where part numbers dont matter.It is in the beta stages now.I cant wait for that.


I have only bought 4 in the last 2 months.I dont do much in the cold and with all of the holidays didnt have anytime.Now i am sick and trying to get over this lol.

Verizon for the cell service
I was VERY pleasantly surprised with RAS
I go to NJ for Thanksgiving week so the Thursday before that I loaded the truck and took the drive to RAS >> a little more then an hour
There was a truck in there being counted and I was next in line, about an hour later truck pulls out and I am ready to pull in, guy waves me off, I guess you can do appointments now and there was a guy pulling in that had an appointment.
Ras guy says it will be at least another hour, so I asked him to drop a Gaylord behind my truck and he could count it in when he had the time and send the check to me in NJ
Wasn't really expecting much > Maybe 3 - 400 > Check was for $685.00
So rather then waste the gas and my time going down there, next load, say 2nd week in Feb, I am just going to have them pickup the Gaylord here and send me the check

I just looked up my car count from last year and man was it low.I was lazy all year lol.This year though i am going to do alot more and keep busy

Cars have been $135.00 for a couple months,
Dropped today to $120.00 a ton (2000 pounds) so .06 a pound


RAS never called me back about doing a pickup, so I will travel there on Thursday

Yeah i just got a call today that cars went down $70 per ton making them now at $150 per ton.

But some other yards in the area are at $110-$115 so i am lucky i get $150 but still thats **** low

Dropped today to $100.00 a ton (2000 pounds) so .05 a pound

I am heading out to RAS later today since we are getting MORE snow on Thursday
I will let you know how I do

**** that sucks your prices are so low.Also let me know how u did
