Message:: [QUOTE="Inderjit, post: 12349008, member: 204344"]I worked on those trucks a lot while working for an electric utility for 15 years. I had a fleet of fourteen of them. Other than patching a couple rust holes in the floor of two different trucks the cabs were never a problem. Door hinges wear out if you don't lube them occasionally but the are very easy to change. I've been working for an international dealer for a few years now as well.The electrical systems are no better or worse than any other truck.The Maxxfarce big bore engines the 11 13 and 15 are problematic and are difficult to work on. That truck has a very small engine compartment and the N13 is a very tight fit making it difficult to work on. I have only worked on two N13 engines and it seemed like anything you wanted to access had something in the way that had to be removed first. That translates to a big labour bill if it goes into the shop.I would advise passing on the truck. If it had Maxxfarce 9 or 10 under the hood it would be worth considering but not with the N13.[/QUOTE]
