if the banjo fittings (there is 2) are on the top at the back of the pump the pump has been replaced. if they are on the bottom side you would have to remove the head to see if it had been replaced

Gliders are not allowed in Canada or so I am told by Fitzgerald and others. I am debating getting a 379 they are few and far between with decent mileage and shape.

from what I can figure out you cannot bring a finished glider into Canada. you import the rolling chases and then have the motor and transmission and all that good stuff putting in up here. to do that though with the way the Canadian dollar is the Cost goes Way up I'm not sure where both in Canada you are but if you're interested I know transdiff peterbilt in Quebec city has built a few a should be able to answer any questions.

Chevyho Thanks this. -
Just trying to weigh the options, no experience with newer engines.. Currently have a 3406e, 400 cummins big cam 3, and a n14.. But its time for a newer truck.. All opinions and experiences are greatly appreciated.

If I lived in the states I would have bought a glider years ago.

Good to hear, anything I should look for, ill be test driving it in the next couple days.

The 2015 trucks? Those are gliders probably. Like 6nz

It's just like any other Acert motor, make sure there is no noticeable soot around turbos or bellows, any small exhaust leak can cause regen problems. I always get the engine serial number and phone Kramer Cat, they should be able to email u the history on the motor. Running an engine vin saved me from buying a major lemon a year ago it was an SDP motor that had over 90 visits to a Cat shop.Chevyho Thanks this.

SDP and lemon.............. Kinda like bacon and eggs.
