    Hope you get it for a good price. 387 for some reason dont hold their value. I think because they are based on the T2000 and that was a love it or hate it truck design.

    I personally like the 387. Lots of room inside, the Pete dash is well laid out.

    The carrier I am with has an 07 '386' with the 475hp ISX. In the 2 yrs I have been here the truck has had minimal issues. EGR and the turbo went out at 620k last year.

    Your going to get as many different opinions and experiences here as there are trucks and different set ups for sale. Personally I think the ISX is a good motor. It will pull as good or better then a C15 and has probably the best Jake out there.

    Do your research on the truck. Dont do a blind purchase over the phone. Follow your gut instinct. Proper maintenance and you should be fine. All engines and trucks will eventually need major repairs. We all roll the dice every day in that regard.
