How much do you think I could get for my truck?

Is the engine covered under a warranty?

 

I think flipping trucks may be a hard way to make a buck unless you have some people waiting that know your skill level.

I mean no disrespect to you at all but I would not buy a truck from you. I have no idea if you know what you're doing or if you do good work.

I want to say again that is not a knock on you. You may very well be an excellent mechanic. Lots of dollars to throw around if a person doesn't know.

 

Good luck Krebs11.

I'm sure its nerve wracking wondering if you will be able to get your investment back and hopefully some extra.

 

$15k would be your top dollar. The auto trans hurts the sale by about $5k in the used truck market. Even tho it had a rebuild, I'm guessing you did it yourself?? Therefore there is no warranty...... I'm sure you can find someone to buy it, just going to take a while. Not many care for a C12 with an auto, just not good specs for OTR hauling. I hope you prove us all wrong tho !!

why not just put it to work?? You already know everything you've done to it, get to driving !!

No offense, I'm sure you are a great mechanic, but the rebuild means nothing if it was not done by a CAT certified dealer. If it does go bad in say 6 months and one of the rebuild parts fails, the buyer is still going to have to fix it out of pocket. CAT will not warranty the rebuild. So to a potential buyer, it is a million mile truck

as for the auto-trans, I'm guessing it is a Eaton Auto-Shift Gen 1 or 2 with the three pedal setup?? If so, all you have to do is get the parts for the shifter and remove the X-Y controller and such. Just keep it as an auto but if it does cause problems for the sale, switch it over or tell a potential buyer that u will make the switch if they want it done.

 

Changing an auto to a manual is a big deal. Easier to swap the entire trans than to try to swap parts to manually shift one. I looked at changing an 18 speed AS2 to manual and I just purchased another trans as its probably s $5k plus exercise to make it work. I have owned 3 of them. Never again.
