    Is there a list of things to go bad and the avg cost to repair

    Read that post. Also, any warranty not from Cummins themselves is a scam IMO. Any of the 3rd party ones.

    17000h x 24.35mph = 414k miles.... I think it is a lot.

    That's more a mobile generator than a truck, wow. A lot of sitting and idling. Either that, or a lot of heavy traffic driving, like an LA container hauler or something. Either way, not great.
