how often are the motors rebuilt on these things kays wise? Must be sooner than regular trucks with all the stop starting yeah?

[MitchellM15]

@mikey380sx As far as I know these engines tend to last the life of the truck... just built for the tough and constant use associated with the work. Eventually if the engine goes through an extreme amount of k's, there might be the need for some refurbishment of certain parts, but otherwise they keep roaring :P

this used to work in baulkham hills shire council... i remember it.. one of the only newer ones

[MitchellM15]

Well no one can disagree with you... the Baulkham Hills name was still visible on the rear-side of the truck.
