ISX or the MX 13?

After going through the history, this is all true. I'm not sure if you saw, but almost all sensors have been replaced at some point (nox sensors, egr diff pressure sensors, turbo pressure sensors, aft temp sensors) etc.

Additionally, the oil pump, oil cooler & HC doser and random other items (t-stat, etc) were all replaced as well. The oil pump & cooler were done on the same repair as debris was found in the filter. It appears that the debris didn't make it too far into the system as none of the mains were replaced and it was also fairly early into its warranty period without any major issues until the cyl head replacement at the end of the warranty period.


None of this is necessarily an issue. You got some newer part numbers that are better than the originals as a result, and a new cylinder head. But it's better to have the information than not.

Hopefully the dealer gave you ALL of that information and not just some of it.

 

Anything could end up being a reliable purchase.


Some things to keep in mind:
1) This only shows WARRANTY repairs. Anything that was done in a random shop on the road, the owners shop, etc - won't show here.
2) The last warranty job I see listed is from 2015. I'm sure more work has been done on it since then - but not as warranty.
3) The warranty period ends in 2 months - but also at 500,000 miles. How many miles does it have? If its more than 500,000 - it's out of warranty. The extended warranty was for 60 months / 500,000. If it's over 500k that would explain why nothing warrantable has been filed since 2015.
4) Vehicle history doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get a bad vehicle or a good vehicle. You could view it as "This truck has had a lot of things replaced - the engine is basically brand new!" or you could view it as "This truck has had a lot of things replaced - it's junk!"

It's all about perspective. A truck could go 400,000 miles and have a ton of repairs during that time and then not have much done to it for another 300,000 miles. A different truck can go 400,000 miles and barely be need repaired, but be absolute hell in the next 300,000 miles.

It's really hard to determine what's going to be "reliable" and what's not.

Take a look at the truck now - is it in good condition? How's the engine running? Get an oil sample and see how that comes back. Test drive it and see how it handles. Inspect it thoroughly - and if you're not knowledgeable enough on it, bring someone who is.

Even still, the truck & engine can be in near perfect condition and have a major failure 50,000 miles later.

I would say the most important thing to determine is "what is the condition of the vehicle & engine right now" - if they're not in good condition now then it's not worth it. Sure - you could repair them and possibly never have an issue afterwards, but that means putting more money into it on top of the sale.

 

It's possible. See if you can get an ECM mileage print out if you can Never know if the CECU was replaced outside of warranty. Plus, it'll tell you how many hours are on it. Last known hours were 7740.

 

100% correct

 

MAN builds the Maxxforce

 

Yes, 2013/14 ISX CM2350 has a lot of the bugs from the CM2250 worked out.
