Still Driving Pre EGR Trucks

I'm looking at an 04 WS 4900EX with the Detroit in it. I'm not sure if it's an egr motor or not. I'm going by to look at it this weekend. I just wonder if they will ever start checking trucks for egr deletes since it is illegal to do it.

Anyway, I'm trying to find an old truck to buy. I think the OP was more talking about reliability when you first buy the truck. I'm sure all your trucks are very reliable because the way you take care of them. I don't mind the elogs, it's the emissions I don't want. I've had good luck with my 2016 Freightliner but I'm done with it & would prefer an older truck.

 

I thought I you'd never ask!

Ex Bison truck rank?

 

Can't fool you northern. Good eye. I only know that because I can still see where the Bison logo was on the door. We bought it from an owner op called Rebel Trucking I think was the name.

 

No doubt there will be things that need attention. My 359 needed lots of electrical work, all new rubber, lug nuts, MV-3 valve, rad and CAC. My T8 blew 2 head gaskets and a turbo year 1..... spent $13,000 on it in the first 12 months. I just expect it and figure it into the purchase price......it helps to be handy.

 

TY sir!

 

Started using this 2001 in February. Bought it for $13k put about another $10k in it so far in 65k miles. It's an isx though. It's got 765k total miles on it. I'm more than happy with it.

 

That's a nice truck. I read through your thread here on it. I would like to do something like that but don't have that much cash to put into it right off the bat. Plus, I would like to be able to run out west if need be for some reason. Lol. I've been out there once in the last 8 years & swore I wouldn't be back for another 8 at least. Lol.

 

@rank, I can see that this load is a mix of 8'X4'X4' & 8"X4"X3' bales.
In the Belly are they 8x4x3's 3 wide(on their edge?) & 3 high?

An enquiring mind needs to know......LOL
