2007 Coronado with 14 liter 60 series. Is it right for me?

You will want all mainatnce records, previous inspection and violation history, accident history if any. If it does not possess a third party DOT inspection, you probably will find that you need to ause the truck to endure one.

You need to learn from the truck's VIN records incurred within it's dealer network around the USA, previou swork that has been done to it will illuminate you to pot

You will expect to pull oil sample, coolant and go over everything on that truck like a fine tooth comb. You will check every single grease fitting and look over every inch of all airlines, fluid lines and so on. Your tires will tell you whats matta

You will need to learn what that tractor has inside of it. You don't want a 6.10 ratio geared tractor in Nebraska with 300 miles to go until Fort Collins. You will never get there. (To paraphrase...) And on the other side you want to avoid those tractors that were used by fleets and disposed of possibly with that famous 300 cummins incapable of doing anything with a 45000 pound trailer load against say a 1.80 rear end that will get you 10 miles to gallon on flat land. But cause you to burn the engine up trying to get out of a gear all day to get anything done at all.

You cannot fall in love with a tractor. There is a reason she is sitting on the curbside wanting someone to love on it take her home and put her to work. She probably hides a number of expensive fixes that has to be done after you have discoverd them post purchase.

Alot of trucks today have become disposible. Run them 200,000 miles and they start gaining all sorts of noises and breaking stuff. Constantly in and out of shops all week for nicky picky busted stuff.

Toss em and get a new rig. And there they are, the unwanted used tractors.

 

2007 Detroit was still a good motor, just confirm it's not a 2008 DPF motor.
EGR only vs DPF.

 

14l detroit is the best motor per Leon .
...among detroits ...since he is Detroit guy

 

07 was a transition year. If it has a regen switch on the dash. Run, dont just walk away.
