So since this is a 2007 does it have DPF? (I can confirm otherwise but just thought you might be familiar.) Thx.

Walk away and find a cheap Pre-Emission Truck or a used Glider.
That truck is a rolling Money Pit, and stay away from any and all Auto-tragic Transmissions as they all will eventually start giving you problems and emptying your wallet.
Find a truck with a 13 speed manual transmission.farmboy73 Thanks this. -

In the minority here but I've had that setup on my last 379 and it was great. Bought it with 380k and drove it to 880k. Transmission needed a clutch at 800k and xy adapter. NO other maintenance. Engine ran generally issue free as far as internals went. Did manifolds, turbo, etc over the years, but never a rebuild. New owner took it over a million and she's still running strong. I love the autos. I've had 4 of them in various Petes and myself and my drivers love them. They resisted at first, but the lack of fatigue in NYC driving conditions quickly turned them around.
