    Without knowing the maintenance history, ECM dump, and dyno report it will be impossible for you to make an informed decision.

    Years ago long term lease trucks from major leasing companies were ok buys because they mostly were leased by private carriers that didn't employ ####### .
    Now they will lease to any ape with some cash and a cdl and I wouldn't touch one with a ten foot pole .

    So if your a Mr know it all let's make a bet here.
    If putting 2.47 works and I can still pull 80k from a dead stop without issues you will give me $5,000 towards the total cost.

    I'm biased I guess. Detroit has been my go to and stay rolling cost effective engine for over 20 years now.

    I agree. They used to be neck in neck until detroit pulled above the pack in last 10 years...all you heard was give me a detroit or red top all day; now very seldom do I hear mention of red top.
