Where is everyone #5

Yup - there's a lot of pain involved, it just shifts from one party to the other.

I could always understand the decision when it's well planned, in terminal cases - but in cases of conceived inconvenience or hardship/depression - not so.

 

Sometimes the greatest demons we face are our own....

I try not to judge others because I haven't walked in their shoes...

Peace for his family. ..

 

And the longer they been with you the harder it is.

 

Very true!

 

I mean...

They allow me to hangout in here so that takes the group down a few notches.

 

Is a twin turbo c15 an acert? Are there downsides to this engine? Or would it be worth it to toss a few bucks at later and be better off than an n14 or 60 or 3406?

Asking $17,7 with 1.3 looks like new head but no overhaul paperwork.

 

Yes the twin turbo C15 is an ACERT engine, it has its faults along with every engine produced but overall it was a good product. The main sticking point was IVA studs failing and scrambling the overhead but that was remedied with new style hardware long ago.

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again, a fresh rebuild doesn't magically boost the value of a truck, lol.

 

I've got the same truck and I think it runs great!

 

Yes, all twins are ACERT's. C-13 were the first to get it. None are pre-ELD.

Get oil samples and history on ACERT's. BXS, MXS and NXS are all fantastic motors if they have been well maintained. 475/1650 is the magic number for power around 80,000 lbs. 13-speed and 3.42-3.73 rears and you'll be signing.
