    Depends on how it has been maintained.

    This truck has 850k well maintain and clean. Oil change every 15k new turbo and DPF at 500k and zero oil consumption since new according to the owner. No leaks or low oil pressure. Its a 09 ISX 500. He has a folder with receipt of maintenance and things done to the truck. No egr replacement so far.
    You folks know how many miles will it hold if i change Rod and Main Bearings on it whats the usual cost for that? or is it cheaper to do a basic Over Haul.

    Some people may say it's a bad idea, however, it depends on how it was maintained. Engine hours tell a better story then mileage. You could have a truck with 725,000 miles on it, but have the same hours as a truck with 500,000.
