I may have to make some calls on Tuesday (as Monday is a holiday) to see how much it would really cost to just refurbish the one-box. I might be able to save 10k or more.

If you plan on trucking for the foreseeable future just find a good deal and buy yourself a brand new son of a gun.
You’ll be glad you did. Won’t spend a penny more and will have 1% the headache.Crude Truckin', Tropsnart and PE_T Thank this. -
I would start shopping for a new truck, but you might buy more problems.
see if the dealer will stand by his diagnosis, if it does not fix you don’t pay.PE_T Thanks this. -
Mannnn. If you know your truck real well, maybe you keep it. But what the heck is a one box? Is that Freightliner for dpf or something?
I’d get a N14 or a Detroit 60, and roll. Stuff like this.

You rebuild pre emission trucks, because they run, anything newer just keep flipping them over
My local kw dealer is actually the same labor rate as the independents for the stuff that I can’t fix, but they have the parts in stock -
I could be wrong but if I remember
