<p>[QUOTE="cliffster21, post: 4600410, member: 115474"]earnies,</p><p><br /></p><p>If I had 80k to start with I would find an older truck that was run by an owner op, and then go over the whole truck, make it as new as you can. That way you can avoid all of the emissions crap. From everything I've heard and from being a company driver with newer trucks, there are always problems with emissions systems. An older truck with a non-emissions engine or a glider would be my choice. Also, the ISX is not a bad engine, it just needs to be maintained, poor maintenance is what did mine in. Starting with a fresh overhaul, even if <i>YOU</i> have to get it done before you start driving would be better than starting with an engine you don't know with 500k on it. Just one driver's opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
