The company that hires me has 50plus trucks. They all get cycled out. If you are an owner operator, buying a newer truck that someone else traded in, it will be a lemon. No way around it. Statistics and facts don’t lie. Full deletes are proven and do work. Just don’t have idiots do the deletes just as one rocket scientist on here suggested lol

My cousin has about 1.2 million on his ISX, and they beat the piss out of it. It's in a Prostar. Mail hauler. They change oil every 50K LOL. Think they started doing every 35K. Think they were doing filters at 25K.
I do mine every 20K complete.
I still have 100K left on my warranty.
A Recon from Cummins is $18,500 to $21,000 with a core that doesn't have a hole in it.
So far mine averages 7.5 to 8 mpg. And I have 0 down time.
These are facts, not hear say.
Can't help but wonder if the driver has something to do with it. Wrenches say most definitely, but what do they know.
I'll take my chances with playing by the rules. Never muched cared for looking over my shoulder, or being a sneak. -
i would say it is i have a 2014 spoke with a kw dealer trying to get a glider kit of course he tried to sell me on buying a new def truck...He stated 2014 was just a very bad year and that out of the several hundred trucks he have sold in the last 2 years he hasnt gotten return on any except for something very minors and no repeat returns ...all the bugs have been worked out of the newer model engines ...i cam dee some truth to it ....i would advise every one to stay away from 2014 on down when it comes to a def used truck
