    That's what mine has, 2001 N14 with 958k original, with a thirteen speed, still runs strong.

    I'm the second owner, I purchased it in 2004 with 395k.

    I have all the service records since I owned it, and everything that breaks inside or outside, I fix it myself right away or take it to my mechanic.

    The N14's I saw were dogged out big time. I had to settle for a 1998 D12.

    I have all the records from first owner from 2002 -- 2015

    I have the pics as it got delivered to first owner from production facility in Roanoke, VA, and the original production print out, listing every single part used to assemble on it, including part #.

    Also have the instructional manuals in audio cassette...lol

    Most of these guys don't remember the Whites, back before Volvo bought them out.

    When I was 12-13 yes old working in the wash bay on Saturday at my granddad's shop. He had some cabover White Road Commanders. I will never forget my Granddad called them "Road Commodes."

    Do you have cabinets behind the seat, or is it bed right away?

    My 2001 with N14 has 1.8 million with only rods and bearings done. The 2003 gray truck was at 1.2 mil and I decided to do the same work for it, even though the engine ran fine.
    Well, ended up finding that liners are bad and crankshaft is bad also.
    I bought the truck at 930k without maintenance records and it looks like it did not have frequent oil changes.
    I have seen many N14 with 1.5-2 mil miles without rebuild. Since you are taking good care of it, you should have many trouble free years ahead
