    If it's been a Winnipeg truck all its life any warranty work would've been done at. Custom truck sales it's the only kW dealership there they also own Brandon kW you might get info about truck from them possibly

    a friend of mine just bought one in February a 2011 with 44k miles, they said it was a promotional vehicle to Israel and all the gauges metrics, even owners manual is in Hebrew, I'm the driver and what looks weird is the wear on this truck is about the same as 2006 he owns with over 350k miles everything feels weird about this truck, the wind noise on this truck is way more than my own 1999 T800 with over 1mill.

    My take on this truck is that is a few years older take back lemon by KW from a customer and they put a brand new engine (mx13 Paccar) .

    Get the engine hours, on a 2006, you should be able to get the hours from the dash. Possibly a truck used mostly on job sites with PTO time or something?

    I have brothers in Israel. I will go over there some time in my life. Atm I have quite a few issues before I can think about going.

    Israel is about a few hundred miles long by 50 wide or so. American Big Trucks would put on a whale of a show there. But... *Yes,.... a thought...

    You need to armor that tractor. No im not kidding. Arabs toss stones at vehicles from the side of the road ordinary in Israel

    I love America and I love Israel. But if you go there, there is nothing in America that will compare to Israel. Is really awesome what they have done all these years.

    People need to realize that miles only tell half the story. When I look at a truck, the first thing I do is check the hours. Prime example: 1 company I worked for had a couple of trucks that primarily sat and ran a PTO all day. The trucks were 6-8 years old and only had 50,000 kilometers on them. The hour meter however read around 22,000.
