    My Friend Todd Offered to sell or trade me his 2000 Peterbilt 379 With a Cummins N14 in it for 40k and he just had turbos and batteries and wheels replaced. The Truck is well taken care of it has 850k on it but its small and he also offered for me to trade him my freightliner classic xl 14.0l. He says that he is tired of the his pete because it so small in the inside so i told him i would buy it or trade him my freightliner classic xl. What should i do because if i buy it i wont drive it and my main truck im driving is a coronado but I do want to get rid of my classic xl

    $40K is a little steep for that, if the motor was fresh, then yes.

    What are the specs on your Freightliner?

    If the truck you are driving now is serving you well why would you even think about trading it? So you can drive a hood?

    No specs Its just sitting in my yard but the reasoning i do want the Pete is because its a beautiful truck and also it has one of my favorite motors the n14 but aside from you saying if the motor was fresh i wish it was but im going to rebuild the inframe and get new turbos for it but if i do buy or trade for this truck im going to pull reefers with it

    pete with the high mileage and no overhaul is worth about $25K(at best) if it has good brakes and tires,,
