    that truck was for sale 2 years ago when I was looking for my first O/O truck, now I cant be 100% sure but how many yellow ws 15 speed with a mbe in WA state are there. I would look away. he was pulling maxis to which is usually over a 100k, so the rest of the drive-train has also been used pretty hard.

    Little update,
    was able to talk to the president of mercer transport here in spokane the other week and got the lowdown on the truck.
    Truck was hauling 105k all its life and was not giving them a lick of problems ,until detroit gave them a call and wanted to do updates on the motor while it was under warranty.They rebult the engine with all updated material ,when mercer got it back they put it under a load to eugene or. and they noticed it was running warm and sluggish,they got the load delivered in eugene and blew the motor.upon inspection they noticed they sucked a rag into the intercooler(duh0).they apparently forgot one/so skip forward ,freedom freightliner in spokane rebuilt motor again! and here it has sat all this time.I suspect i will pull the trigger on this one as i think i really cant go wrong mercers president really has nothing to gain by telling me nothing but the truth,I feel confident in this one.
    thanks again all that gave me the pros and cons onthis truck .any more insight i will gladly welcome it.thanks,joe
