1994 Freightliner with 700,000 fpr $30k, is this a good buy?

That's a good price for a 1994 Peterbilt 379 EXHD with a 3406E CAT that's just been rebuilt. Is that 700,000 miles on the rebuild, or all in on the truck? That thing is due for another rebuild shortly, especially if it's been sitting.

You should spend some more time reading more threads on this board and learn about how to safely buy a truck.

 

Yeah 30k is high- Its a 94,So let's talk facts.
1994 was the first year with electronic engines (ECM)
1989 to 1993 model year trucks are very difficult to find .
Why? Those years put out the most reliable trucks dating back 50 years

1994 was the first year for Automatic slacks(Transitional) and The Beginning of experimental ABS
So Im guessing his price must correlate with these facts

 

Would that also not mean it's one of the worst years to purchase a truck? The bugs not being worked out and all that?

 

Ecms were earlier than that

 

I don't think so- Maybe,maybe 1993...But im pretty sure 94

Cat 3406C mechanical until 1994
Cummins 855 series same way
Detroit not sure

 

I think ddecIII came out in 92. I had a 93 ws closely Cat w/ peec electronics. It was only around 92,93and maybe 94. They were way behind Detroit. 1987 first Detroit ddec

 

I may be wrong but I think it had an ecm in Cab and another on engine

 

That’s a nice looking Truck. It must have a 425 C model Cat. The C was a good engine. Had larger rods and mains.Recommended to change @ 500 k instead of 250 k on b model. Otherwise same as a b model.Great engine. Was the king of the hill for years. They were available
