    I don’t have that information the very first rebuild was at 15,000 hours at 440,000KM . The second one the dealer is going to let me know I’ve inquired about this already. But my estimate would be around 20-22 thousand hours

    Yes, my previous truck was also a cat motor. 2.2 million KM 32,000 hours that’s when it had its first. I’ve heard these Cummins don’t last as long

    If they have the paperwork itemizing all the parts and you think it was done properly , I wouldn’t be afraid of buying it if the price is right .

    Improper “fixes” will burn down a diesel very quickly sometimes.. pulling heavy like you will I’d be leery especially without a pyrometer.

    Trucks got a pyrometer. Think I’m gonna stay away just because of the sketchy history on it

    And, considering this truck supposedly was a ‘crude hauler’ for a portion of its life, the whole chassis should be of suspect quality depending what the ‘line ticket’ reads.
