    those sound like solid specs if you will run 62 or less you should see good mileage and pull the hills well

    I do not know. it is a volvo, however. I'm looking at two trucks, 01-02 01 has 1.2mil miles and dot ready for 13k. and 02 has 850k miles bank repo selling for 9k but needs about 7-8k for dot ready and bring it up to good shape and has a work station w/ 77 inch, i think, bunk.

    01 is a 77 - as advertised but has a 60sleeper, weird. I liked the 02 bank repo inside vs an 01 DOT ready. Plus, I've been told it is somewhat pricey to up the hp in the n14, and 2 tranny can only withstand 1650-1700ftlb - i think. I'm going back there with the local mechanic to look at two - hopefull wil not be sold, and will look at both. I've put in $500 deposit for the 01 with an option that the money will be refunded if the 2001 will have major mechanical issues that my mechanic will not like. I'm still thinking if a 2002 for 9k could be a better deal on long haul. may be.
