HO/48re on the ground!!!!

Well guys we just got our first HO/48re dropped of today. I haven't tried it out yet because we are in the middle of a snowstorm and I wouldn't be able to get on it. Maybe tomorrow? If anybody is interested let me know. I have all ready offered it to Ton4Fun but if he doesn't want it it'll be available. ;D If anybody wants to see the window sticker they can see it at www.maczuk.net . Go to new inventory.

Re:HO/48re on the ground!!!!

I don't want to buy it but certainly want a driving report, yesterday.

I guess you are not going to keep it?

Which one is it (MSRP) and how long did it take to deliver from ship/invoice date?

I can see that. Maybe he got a special delivery because he is a dealer.

Re:HO/48re on the ground!!!!

No I never even called the transport company on this one. It just got here that fast. We got a real good outfit haulin these things for us, they don't mess around. I thought you guys would like to know I went out and drove it. As far as the shift quality I thought I was driving a truck witha 47re instead of a 48re ??? :Sorry I know you guys didn't want to here that. The power was better than the old set-up. Not quite what I expected but it is 7degrees here for a high today and the truck only has 2 miles on it, so when it is properly warmed up and broken in I think it will be better.

Re:HO/48re on the ground!!!!

Hey, that's OK, I loved the way the SO/47REs drove. I only decided on this set-up for supposed durability and a little more oomph for a measly $450cdn.

Re:HO/48re on the ground!!!!

All I gotta say is that I hope it pulls better than my SO with a load. I like the way my SO gets around town when unloaded very peppy. <br><br>

I'll give you fella's another report when I get a chance to take it out and run it for ten miles or so when it warms up.
