Cummins Autoshift ISX C Series

well the way I read it the trans was rebuilt at 500,000, if it was me, I would not by a auto trans if at all possible, too much headache after they get miles on them, electrical problems, and clutchs and labor to r&r it are higher than a std trans, and if anything electrical goes out on it, you cant limp it anywhere, and get ready to spend $1000 or better if you have to replace the ecu or x-y shifter. just my .02 as a mechanic/truckdriver.

 

I do not know what it is that you haul, but unless you haul less than 35k lbs of freight at all times I do not think that truck would be best for your business.
Most trucks with the massive sleepers are used for household goods movers, or for dedicated trade show/ race car or other transport.
On the transmission thing. That is one of the early auto's. I have seen more people that have issues with them than people that like them. The new ones are not too bad from what I hear. But the current generation of autos did not come out till like 2006 or 2007.

 

why was an autoshift rebuilt at 500K? My first autoshift went 978K with a clutch replaced at 600K, my company has a fleet of daycabs with Eaton/Fuller autoshifts and only two have been torn apart for anything other than a clutch, and in both of those cases, it was drivere abuse.

 

Uhh the first reason not to buy that truck is that dealer. I'd guess that truck has about a million miles on. No normal bank will finance a truck with that many miles. Or maybe I should say that the interest on the loan will be steep.

And the weight on that will be about 20k without water or fuel. And check the front axle weight to see where its at without a trailer and with a trailer, you may get a surprise

 

I would guess more like 14k for trailer and that truck with fuel and driver weighs about 25-29k. and small truck is probably referring to steer axle weight being high, probably 8-10k without a trailer. just my .02

 

yea that big sleeper on that 1 has to weigh something! lol. yes there are trucks that with a 53 van you can scale a 45000lbs load but they are hard to find, most any normal spec sleeper truck will scale a 40-44k load all day long but beyond that you have to look at specs carefully if you are planning on being heavy all the time.
