    Thanks for info guys

    I’m looking at 19 cascadia with 650k kms to buy it from the company I drive for…
    current truck i purchased from the same employer in 2016 with about 750k kms and it’s toast at 2,000,000

    I just wasn’t sure how much inframes are reliable

    Has it been reliable ?
    Do you know if it has any other issues or needs money spent soon that affect your decision?
    How have you maintained it, has it just had tires or anything significant?

    My friend knew the truck very well and was very confident in it so easy decision for him, he does look after it well and to be honest most people wouldn't realize it's age or mileage.

    To inframe a DD15? I don't think I've ever seen it that cheap. At least not if they're using Detroit parts, which I have to think a dealer would be.

    I'm the type that doesn't typically sell anything unless it has started giving me headaches.

    In other words, you know what you have already. You don't really know what you might get into with a different truck. My own opinion is if you like what you have may as well keep it running.

    I got a Volvo D13 reman in 2018 for my 2010, aprox 25k cad parts, it cost aprox 40k cad installed at Volvo Mack here in Windsor,ON It's reman at factory specs with 350,000 warranty. Don't waste $ on partial inframe, which is going to cost about same. I would do same again, not sure if Detroit offers remans, but look how my motor came, like new.
