New Truck FL Cascadia 125

Well I am finally buying a new truck, and though some may say I'm crazy, I am buying a 17 Cascadia with a dd15 400hp and d12 trans with 2.41 gears. For the most part I have done my home work far as what has been done and has not been done to the truck. I still have a few questions but I feel like i am splitting hairs for the most part. The truck was owned by a small company here and was pretty much a transfer truck but full features with no lane departure stuff etc. Its cleaned and for the most part the maintenance records match. One box is in great shape and everything from the ecm report checks out in my eyes. Here are some questions that I have in hopes of adding some more clarity to the purchase.

First question is I have heard people get 500k-800k on the stock clutch obvious its based off the driving habit. Which I dont quite understand what that means because it is an automatic... My question is though is there a way to inspect the clutch? I have been told there is not.

Second Question. some of these trucks like to crank a little longer than some. I have read its usually when the tanks are below a 1/4 tank, which this is almost dry. I have also read it is because the fuel system was not properly primed when the new filter was installed. Can someone provide some knowledge on this if possible?

Third question is, if you drive this style of truck and close or same specs, what mpg are you getting and where do you typically set the cruise at?

Last question is solely aesthetics. This truck does not have factory visor mount on the exterior of the cab. I would like to add a drop visor and was wondering if i could buy mounts and put them on? but i did not see where they would mount....

Any other suggestions at this point would be appreciated, I plan on taking delivery on the truck after Christmas.

 

Running the Northwest. And I’m usually just 80k reefer. I also will run southwest also. I don’t run very fast 65 is the most I will do in a truck. Probably will end up paying 43500. 494000 and it appears to have a new one box as the regen report come back spotless.

And right now I am the grease mechanic so far as running an old beater it’s not a solid business model either. I’ve looked at new and just don’t want the overhead. I would rather keep the cash and say do an overhaul in 3-4 years. Everyone talks about trucks as throw always because you spend more on the truck than the value. Well that’s just the nature of owning a truck anymore in my eyes. Just want something a bit tighter.

 

I’ve read that and seen some videos of the tools some people have generated. Interesting. And the visor is mostly just cause it gives me an excuse to buy one finally lol . I’m guessing the clutch is in decent shape or changed out during some warranty work it. The truck wasn’t a “regular” otr truck. But they did drive it fast.
