    I've replaced the NOX and the manifold pressure sensor in 90 k miles on this ISX , DPF is a Dog. At least you didn't get a 2012 MAXX ha ha . You'll be ok

    Well,I'm keeping my fingers crossed and will let everyone know, I know the oil changes are like in the $500.00 Range. Other than the DEF tank being on the Passenger side.was the only thing I didn't like!!

    A lot of fleets went out of business because they had all prostars . And it took some beating on them to get them to fess up and pay up but for a lot of guys it was too late . That's why all the 2012's have low miles , they were always in the shop . I've seen them go for 15 k all day long on auction time full Eagle interior , 350 k miles

    I looked@ lone mountain,but the reviews were awful, and you never really get a good review,just because something worked out ok for another driver,the same thing could be wrong for a different driver,eveyone has a different perspective!!!

    It wasn't a bad deal . A bit over market on price , I got in with 4500 down . The support after the sale sucks but I knew what I was getting into buying a used truck . And I've got it leased to FEDEX CC running White Glove team , so the revenue is good enough that I don't worry about the maintenance . Just a means to an end is how I look at it
