    To answer your headline. The one you don't own. haha.
    Seriously. Mine is a 99 Freightliner Cummins N14 Celect. Have owned Cummins in about 15 trucks only 2 cats I think it was a 3406. Most of the others were BC 3 and 4.
    All these motors were reliable until they died or sold. I think only 2 died and that was operator error. Motors don't run long with out oil. Good luck.

    I'll take the maintenance bill over the truck payment.

    I think that the deciscion old or new Iron is a personal one.
    Influenced by MPG, maintenance Costs, taxes and availeble cash/finance.
    The rest are personal feelings that shouldn't be in the equation.
     
    Ok big boy Thanks this.

    Yea well, I can fix #### near anything. Even though I don't want too. A Bosch fuel pump got the best of me once. Because I left it disassembled too long to remember how to put it back together. But no payment works for me.

    When you get a class action law suit against you, you know you've pissed off a lot of people!

    Well we have two trucks, both freight shakers. One with a dd15 2012 and one with a dd16 2014. Well let's put it this way I am looking at a 2004 Pete with a C15 to replace the dd15. The 16 has been good so far the 15 is killing us.
