    Is there any specs on it, like fresh overhaul, new parts, new tires.. anything like that?? This day in time you never can tell... what year is it?

    Way too vague. Specs, year, condition etc would make it easier to judge. Pictures too.

    3 year old truck with 1/3 of warranty left on it. That's a good price.

    Owners want close to that price for their 25 year old trucks with no warranty.

    Do your research on the isx motor though. That would be more of a drawback then having a cat or detroit.

    Spec the same truck on the Truck Paper website, See what comes up up. Also get a Rig Dig report on the truck that you're looking at. I just found 50 on Truck Paper using your specs. Price range from $65,000 to the high 80's.
