Looking to buy a vac truck and need guidance on Maxxforce 10

Hello All,

First post here.

I am determined to get into the business of storm drain cleaning and I have been looking at trucks for the last few weeks. Currently looking at a 2009 International 7500 truck with a Maxxforce 10 9.3 engine, 35k miles, 4k hours.

I tested the truck for functionality and it is everything I need, all systems including the engine work fine but I am very unsure about going through with the transaction because of the history of the Maxxforce engine family. From the reading the internet, it seems the # 10 was not in the same bracket of unreliability as other engines (13).

I appreciate any guidance here.

Julian
