    ####, that's an old truck. I got 300,000 on mine and it's almost time to trade her out.

    Yea, I drove a '72 Kenworth for a guy when I started, but I've gotten spoiled with the new ones here lately.

    Reman it and keep going. Much better that an EGR with DPF, and don't forget the DEF on the latest, greatest, ones.

    You'll lose more money in the shop with a new truck than a total rebuild from end to end on the old one.

    Stranger is right. Should be 6NZ. Get it rebuilt right. Maybe get Mr Haney to tweak it.
