is it worth it

That $12,000 could easily turn into a $22,000 deal. That is a tractor with an inframe ready at any moment. I would pass on it.

 

Sometimes you just can't tell until you haul a load. Then you can feel if it is pulling on all cylinders. If you have a heat sensor you can hold it next to every cylinder to see if it's firing.

If possible test drive it while pulling a loaded trailer. You'll know then if it's running right. If you can listen to the motor and you hear any noise like a lifter or a main bearing then pass on it.

 

Start with a good inspection by someone who knows what they are doing.

Get a Dyno done to see what the blow by is for that engine.

But no matter, a used truck when purchased even with key tests may be a lemon.
