What area/states are you running? How heavy will the loads be?
-
you may have done allright if the truck is in good shape. Doesn't seem too far out of line for mileage and year 9400. What engine, Cummins ISX ?
-
It is a good set up., If it has a 13 speed it will pull economic and real good , 10 speed good too. Good looking truck .

jbatmick Thanks this.

I have a 06 9400I, ran containers for about 4 years in it, good truck for the job, 525 hp is what you'll need for pulling that weight and yet the truck is small enough to maneuver around in the port, 2007 is an excellent year also, hopefully its a pre def engine, last year of its kind, if it is pre def, do your homework on that engine, it can be finessed to run as trouble free as the older engines...

Sorry I meant pre DPF not pre DEF, being a 2007 you may or may not have it, either way you have to work with what you have...good luck
