That truck looks excellent. If it was hooked up to that lowboy thats in the other videos its whole life, I dont think it was abused. That enclosed head board is worth $2K used easy. Did I say, nice truck!

I dont know how to read it but if previous owner just did an oil change before putting truck up fo sale analysis will show nothing as it has new oil.

Actually I have an '05 mxs. Have 941000 miles only problem has been turbos and actuator valves. And the turbos because the exhaust manifold gasket sleeves broke apart.

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, been out driving in this wonderful weather, again. The oil analysis didn't have the miles that were recommended by KR, but it had a little over 5k on it. May not be a true reading but a start.

Thanks Cetane+,
Yes the low boy it's hooked to is the life it has lived. It appears to be a very clean, and rare find. I'm hoping to make a trip to TN soon to get a hands on inspection. -
Also had NXS in 06-07 trucks

I agree 100% KR is a walking infomercial, that spews for the highest bidder.(just my opinion, not looking for a fight) All Acerts (including the '08's and up) are excellent motors, the electronic settings imposed by the EPA cause about 90% of the problems with these motors. Anyone considering buying a truck with one of these motors should get educated on how and why they work, there are several ways to make them run well and get fairly good mileage doing it, some of the mods are legal, some not so much, but NONE of the mods are free, this is an area where you get exactly what you pay for, so don't expect a $150.00 "performance harness" off E-Bay to give you the same results as a $1500.00 ECM re-flash. There are several members of this forum willing to share what they have learned. Find out what your getting into before you buy, I'm just sayin'...
