    Yeah do the Due Diligence on the truck, don't get emotional over it, it is just a truck.

    @bzinger made it to 700,00. Guess you learn something new everyday.

    I think his was $22K, but it also included redoing the gear housing, the bell housing, a new DPF, and all new clutch.

    So not hating, just saying, you seem to be another guy talking out your ###.

    I wouldn't be scared of it for the right price .
    Mine is vintage 2013 and has been a great truck other than the Cummins Carbon packing issue , Cummins updated the cylinder packs after mine was built so you shouldn't have that issue .
