And a good sample will tell me a lot.&nbsp; On the other hand, this is an 890,000+ mileage engine, too.&nbsp; Even figuring an average of under 64,000 miles per year pulling local or regional dryvan (truck is set up for dryvan/reefer work, and has a load bar rack), that is still a lot of wear and tear on the engine.&nbsp; Especially if this was an east coast runner rather than a flatlander.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do greatly appreciate everyone&#039;s advice.&nbsp; And there are changes being made to my plans because of the advice offered.&nbsp; I&#039;m carefully weighing all the options presented, and getting estimates on work.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m starting with the recommended tests (oil sample, blobby, ECM dump).&nbsp; Then I will go from there.&nbsp; At worst, a $30k engine replacement on a $26k truck leaves me with a solid, dependable truck at well under half the cost of a comparable brand new KW T800 with matching specs.&nbsp; Plus the added bonus of having an EGR engine rather than one of the new emissions engines with their 500,000 mile (max) boat anchor motors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
