I thought that was you. I do remember that.
You probably have a wealth of knowledge to share but you have such a air of ego around you I wouldn't listen to you. Don't talk down to people while offering advice. Just my opinion.

Chicken lights, black paint and chrome sure do look nice.... But at a million miles, it'll look good sitting in a shop somewhere when its broke down. $45000, way too high, especially if its an 07 or 08 acert, and I'd bet it is.
Just because it has a red oval on the hood, doesn't mean anything, underneath, its the same as a Freightliner.
And don't give me the resale value speech either... A million mile truck has little resale value to begin with...
Run while ya can.....mattbnr Thanks this. -
The list of reasons why I personally would not buy one of their trucks is long and endless, and $45,000.00 for ANY truck with a million miles on it is ridiculous. If it comes with a fresh overhaul and 4 year warranty, then maybe. I am not here to talk bad about any one or the trucks they are trying to sell, but if you have any interest in my reasons just say so and I will send you a PM.

Regardless of how you interpret how I "come off", right is right, wrong is wrong.
I honestly don't mean to come off like anything, but I will freely admit to incorrect advise bugging the hell out of me!
When we are talking about spending @$45,000 on a shiny POS , I wouldn't care how someone came off, but would care about accurate information.
Guess I look at things differently, but again if I came off as having an attitude etc, not my intentions and openly apologize to anyone that took it that way..

OP, if that is a ARD head Cat motor with a DPF filter, RUN!
Those engine have put more folks out of business than any other motor.
Midwest bought a load, and now they are selling them on. They refuse to sell to anyone that would lease it on with them, they are that bad.

leftlanetruckin Thanks this. -
Well thanks everyone for the comments, I agree about the tmc trucks. I've done some more searching and I've found plenty of freightliners in my area with half the miles and half the price, which motor do yall find the best? A Detroit diesel or cummins isx?
-
Detroit all the way.
-
I would take the Detroit over the ISX.

Bought my 379 Longhood little over a year ago and couldn't be happier. Pre emission 03 tho with the 6NZ 550. 800,000 on the truck 300,000 on an in frame done and I paid $36,000 cash. 135,000 miles later and still happy. Some here told me I was crazy to buy a hood but I sure haven't regretted it.
I wouldn't buy an acert tho and when it's time, this motor will get an overhaul before I buy anything new.mtoo and jmorris3288 Thank this.
