Feeling a little bit like I bought a lemon. I leased a 2016 Peterbilt 587 with 240,000 miles on it. Had a great experience. Very dependable truck. Decided to buy one just like it with similar mileage out of the same fleet. I have owned it for six months now, and I have spent a total of two months with it in the shop. Everything has been covered under warranty, but downtime still cost money. Y’all tell me about Peterbilt. In your opinion, what are the pros and cons? Is it likely I bought a lemon? Is Peterbilt generally known for being unpredictable or reliable? I’m seriously considering selling this truck ASAP and going with a Kenworth.
Lemon?

What engine and drivetrain is In it?
Are your downtime related issues due to the emissions system? -

That’s all?
WOW! Yeah that’s a lot of stuff to go wrong in six months time, might want to check into that lemon law.
I’ve only heard two things about the Paccar engine, people either love them or they hate them.
That’s all I know about them, so that and two bucks will get you a cup of coffee.KB3MMX, DSK333, csmith1281 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Maybe see if you can get in touch with super trucker Dan on YouTube. He has that same engine and a Peterbilt 386 model, and as far as I know he has not had any of the problems that you have.
KB3MMX and csmith1281 Thank this. -
Never mind, I forgot you said you do not have engine issues.
