I'm going to be looking at a '06 W9 today and was just looking for some suggestions on things to check. I know it has a MXS C-15 in it, but I don't know a whole lot about Cats. Is this prefix motor decent? All I know about these era Cats is that they are twin turbo ACERTS. Anything I can look for or check? Serial number breaks that would be better? Has around 800,000 miles and supposedly rebuilt 40,000 miles ago, with paperwork.
Also, I have a 99 8 bag T800, but curious if there is a good way to tell the condition of the rear suspension? I'm guessing it has an 8 bag, but not certain.
Anything else I should pay close attention too?
The guy took it on trade for a different piece of equipment, so he doesn't know a whole lot about it.
Going to Look at a W900 with MXS C-15

I have an 06 C15 in my Century. Bought the truck with 290k on it and im at 818k now. Its been a great motor. Only been into the top end once when it broke some studs and damaged a wiring harness; which is common from what i read if the studs hadnt been upgraded. Apparently mine were not. THATS IT!!!, besides regular services,fuel transfer pump,clutch,brakes, and a couple AC compressors. It needs a gallon of oil around 15k, if i add oil then i run another 5k or so, otherwise i just get it changed. I have a huge maintenance account set aside for when that day comes, nothing lasts forever. Its an old Werner truck so I imagine its early life was pretty rough. I average over 7.5mpg mostly under 20k lb loads and i dont go over 60mph unless its downhill. Yes, im the one holding you up,always in the right lane
Dave_in_AZ Thanks this.
