Been lurking for 4 years...decided to post. Think I’m going to buy..

Reefer. It’s all I’m interested in.

 

Detroit Diesel has good engine but emissions One Box system is not so good. The DOC filter are weld in to the box and can't be changed. So when they go bad is $12,000 for a new emissions box. Detroit has 2011-12 year engine with the DEF. They were using the air from the tractor to power the DEF pump. That was bad because water and oil would get in the air system and it was pumped right into the DEF system. So Detroit change the and now have and electric pump.

Cummins ISX had lots trouble with oil and soot inside engine and talking out cams. They had bad ceramic fuel pumps that would break and take out the engine. They been upgrading the engine over the years. That the problem but used engines. You might get the old bad design they had to fix. Cummins ISX was taking our cams for years at top side of engine from oil starvation it would seem was the problem that Cummins would never admit to

Don't get the Maxxfoce that the worse engine ever made.

 

Get a Peterbilt 579 with a Paccar. Ok now you guys can run me in the dirt. That's what i'd get though.

 

Read the reviews on here of the MX 13 Paccar. They're mostly all good which I more than you can say for any if the others. Emissions seems to be the biggest problem, and that can be "fixed."

 

I wonder about a used truck spreadsheet with the numbers on it... ie: maintenance over time vs interest on a new truck? You could see where you were at over 5 years, based on how your truck purchase went. (different columns for being a complete lemon to a shiny diamond with nothing going wrong) Also you could throw on a column for warranty and see if it holds water.

 

Am i the only one with a filthy mind?

Maxxforce = Maxshite?

 

600k on the clock and a $32k rebuild.


What am I missing?

 

$10k reserve. That won't go very far.
