    Hello everyone, thinking to purchase a truck again but need some advice. The truck I’m looking at is a 2015 W900L with an ISX Cummins. Odometer is at 910,000 KM, with around 29,000 engine hours. The truck was previously hauling crude oil which requires to load and unload with a PTO from my understanding. The engine was redone at 680,000 KM. Any thoughts on high engine hours? Also the truck is DEF deleted. I plan to haul fuel into British Columbia with it from Edmonton. Please let me know if there is anything I should be cautious of. Thanks

    If it was redone at 200k ago. Why would the hours matter?

    How redone? Lots of inframes are done half-assed, i.e., no balancer, turbo not even glanced at, gear train not inspected, etc, ad nuseaum...

    Well from what the invoices tell me. It was redone twice. Once at 440,000KM, this one was half assed. They swapped the block with a used one and put it an inframe kit. I’m guessing the block was not good hence why it was re done again at 680,000 Km. Second time around they put a new block not used. New head, new camshaft, all new rockers and injectors. No turbo though.

    Stay away………not knowing who did the “fix” plus 2 rebuilds is enough for me to pass on it.
