    Well made a deal on all three, and several used trailers around the area.
    Anyone who might be bobtailing from Langley, Abbotsford, or Chilliwack, through Revelstoke, and wants to make some fuel money dragging an empty trailer up, let me know.

    The 2009 has a build date of October 2008 and is not an sdp engine, so I admit complete ignorance about the sdp engines, or basically everything to do with the T800 trucks, and any of the newer kitty engines past the 3406 A, B, C, and some of the 3408. But apparently some early build 2009 trucks must have been sdp free. This newer engine will be an experience to me, as anything newer I have owned in the past was Mack, Cummins, or Detroit. No i haven't ever owned a Paccar engine powered truck. On this trip I also bought a 2004 Western star with a Cummins, body mounted All weld tank fuel truck, and All weld quad trailer for it to pull. I sold a rgn lowbed and single jeep, and bought a used rgn and tandem jeep, plus another used beaver tail lowbed, and 2 used stainless steel tri axle fuel trucks, lastly a 2008 Kitty 980H wheel loader. The lowbeds and jeep need nothing more than to be hooked onto and pulled home, they are work ready, the 2006 and 2007 T800 and 980 loader need very little done, the rest are in need of some serious money thrown at them. I have old stuff, with some scratches, no shiny new scratch free 2018 trucks or trailers, i think its easier on my stress level as well buying pre scratched, instead of myself or an employee causing the first scratches lol

    After strong recommendation of a Caterpillar office manager who said, “if you don’t do a delete that emissions crap will run you out of biz, you will have an awesome engine if its deleted”. He would not do it tho for legal reasons. I did my research and I got mine done 450,000 miles ago for only $800. Mailed him my ecm and I did the filter drilling myself. Not one problem in 5 years!!!

    SDP's are boat anchor's if they aren't properly "tuned". They are a tank when they do get fixed up right though. I've heard they come with steel pistons and a lot of other heavy-duty extras over the older C-15's, but will empty your bank account if left to their own devices.

    BXS/MXS/NXS and you'll be fine if they've been taken care of.
