Frequently Asked Questions
- Are new gliders still available?
No. Glider kits have been phased out by the EPA. You can search Truck Paper for any remaining dealer inventory but most gliders have been pre-sold before delivery.
- Can I make my truck a glider?
No, unfortunately a glider is a chassis designated by a specific VIN. Replacing the engine or doing a conversion does not render your truck a glider.
- Can you put a pre-emission or pre-elog engine in my truck?
EPA regulations state that when an engine is replaced, it must be replaced with the same model year configuration as was removed. As a dealership we must maintain compliance, therefore we do not perform engine replacements.
- Can you restore my truck?
No, we are primarily a rebuilder of late model equipment. Restoring older equipment has become popular due to the rising costs of new, but due to the amount of time involved and hard to find parts, it is not a service we provide.
There are many reputable shops who do great restorations, feel free to call for a recomendation if needed.
- Do you do service work such as tires & brakes?
We are happy to help out with various repairs but with our workload, we try to stay away from common maintenance that can be performed at service shops.
- Are you a trucking company?
No.
- Are you a salvage yard?
No.
- Do you rebuild engines?
No, we recommend a CAT rebuild for warranty purposes, although your local mechanic may be a good option as well.
