We're looking at 2001-2003 Kenworth's, studio sleeper, Cummins engine.

Anything I should lookout for?

I'm the wife of the team so the studio sleeper part is of course the most important thing to me

Thanks.

SunnyD the best thing I can advise you to watch for in the 2001 to 2003's is to stay away from any of them with the Cummins ICX engine
