    Well, while I love Peterbilts, I've never had any luck with them as a dump trucks. Just aren't as tough as a Mack or KW. Depends what you are going to do with it. Like some kind of road application would work well, CAT motor the best, but for slogging through the muck, I'd get a Mack!

    That Cat has 20,000hrs on it, it’s going to need an inframe here shortly. That’s going to be a $40k bill. Know that before buying the truck so you don’t get sunk
