There's quite a string of lawsuits over those motors. It seems they spend more time in the shop than on the road.
blairandgretchen Thanks this. -
Lepton1, blairandgretchen and S M D Thank this.

At least it's a 2013 and not a 08-10 ish but maybe you should have googled "maxxforce 13" and see everything that pops up. Not sure if I have heard anything good about them yet...ever..
But I suggest while it's running good still save around 20k for a cummins swap when time comes.
But then again.....
What are the odds of you striking the lucky charm of the maxxforce and treats you good..
How many miles on the truck it's a 2013 I'm assuming in the 300k ish? -
Did you get a full coverage warranty on it?
-
Thanks for the replies. It's not what I wanted it's what I could afford at the time. My 2009 T660 was having so many regen issues, and none of the MHC Kenworth shops could get it right. I tried to get a 2007 W9 really clean with a million 275,and over hauled at million 125. Credit union wouldn't finance it. So I ended up with this International with 400 thousand miles. Gonna get it looked over by my mechanic soon.

Warranty is just for the engine, 5yrs unlimited mileage.
-
Toomanybikes Thanks this.

High mileage for the year is a good sign that it didn't spend much time in the shop, but may be due. Good luck.
