    Don't know, that's like asking what the burger in an image taste like, we can't tell a thing about it.

    The red flag for this is the mileage vs, the age. Just because it is low mileage does not mean it is going to NOT break down on you,

    I run macks in the fleet, I would be worried about the mdrive but I didn't start getting them until 2015.

    Do your due diligence, get the dyno, blow by tested, a complete ecm dump and have an independent mechanic go from bumper to mud flaps on the truck before you commit to it.
     
    Jestrada0404 Thanks this.

    The price sounds a little on the low side. I would certainly get maintenance records and just know, that year MP8 were really bad for injectors and they're not known for getting good fuel millage.
