    They build them perfectly for "their" customers, as they only keep the truck for 3-4 years.

    The only issue I had was the stupid dpf after treatment system spend so much money just to fix it other then that it runs great but it depends on who drove the truck my suggestion is don't buy from fleet companies truck you never know who drove it and if your going to buy it check everything Dyno test, oil sample, bigrig.com for Vin history, frame ECT ECT

    as far as when to rebuild like I was saying it depends who drove it how well it was taken care of
     
    Dh46 Thanks this.

    Update I took it back to dealership bodyshop. All headliner was removed they sprayed water everywhere and couldn't duplicate the water leak. What should I do next tell them to pay for linex with uv coated or replace the roof or just deal with it
