Navistar N13

Thx Heavyd. Also I’m looking to lease from Excelerate Leasing in Indiana. Good or bad idea.

 

Generally, lease units are well cared for. I don't know about them specifically though.

 

Thx Heavy.

 

So what are thoughts on a 2015 international prostar with a Cummins ISX engine? Thinking about getting one

 

They're great trucks. The ISX is solid. And it's a buyer's market right now so prices on used trucks are as low as they're going to get. Where are you located?

 

Heavy D I need help here. I bought a 2015 Prostar N13. I was told the only way these trucks are worth it is if some things are "altered". Fast forward a few weeks and surprisingly my DPF light came on. It said I needed to do a parked regen. I did. It was billowing smoke (coming out of pipe and canisters) I finally shut the regen down and drove on. Now the DPF light is flashing and it wont even attempt a regen. Thoughts?

 

Flashing light is a higher alert warning. Eventually you will get a stop engine light and full derate. You likely have a massive leak somewhere if you can see lots of smoke coming out from around everything. Need to take it in and have it looked at.

 

I came across a 2015 n13 with the automatic. Its under 350k miles. Im taking the leap to o/o this year so ive ive been patient and doing my research before i sign my life away. What are your thoughts on that particular set up?

 

N13 are better than the Maxxforces, but not flawless by any means. It's basically a Maxxforce with SCR now also added to it. I am also sorry to say but Eaton automatics are becoming more trouble than they are worth with early clutch failures along with general wiring and electronic problems. I would stick to a good ol' manual if I was buying one.

 

Thanks for info imma look at dd15 freight or a kw mx13 im in california so i gotta get something newer but do t wanna go over 40k on my first purchase since ill be financing i i wanna keep it in a range where i could go company drive and still manage my truck note if that need be
