D13 Engine hours

If you considered 60 mph for each hour on the engine that would be 900000 miles.
And I believe idling the engine is worse than driving it I would say that truck has too many hours the engine is done.
I would definitely look for another truck if I was you.
Good luck.

 

All depends on the $$$$$.
Is it cheap?

 

We'll just add in another $20,000 on top of the price they want, so you can get the engine overhaul, and if it still seems doable at that price go for it.

 

I would say that if 80% of the engine hours multiplied by 60 mph doesnt come close to the actual miles on the engine then it is to many hours.

 

Do not use 60 mph, use 48 mph.

Also do an ecm dump and see what hours are what, there are two types in the ecm

 

My engine has 19608.5hrs with 705287 miles on it. 6753 of those houts is idling. Just to give you a picture. My fuel economy took a dump last winter and now Im lucky to get 6 mpg. I hate this little green engine. Its junk.

 

Do you idle overnight or you have a bank heater or apu??
