I definitely wouldn't touch that truck. It can never go back to a dealer, and if you get an emission check they can take the plates and it's off the road until you RESTORE emissions to factory. It would have to be real cheap to take that gamble, or I'd have to be within a couple hours of home so I could always tow it to a shop I trust will look the other way.
And it would still have to be real cheap.
Still better off to get a glider or an older pre emission truck.

Well you are really scaring me here. I will rethink. Thanks

You were going to come here for a truck. This one has 600k MILES, it's a glider, to me its 15k too much but you have the us $ so it's much better priced.
No emissions, no bs. Have it taken to detroit and a dyno, blowby test done and an oil sample.

Wow, the prices... this is what I have, I've added a spike, suspension dump, it has a new clutch, I've sampled every oil change for the last 5 years, burns zero between changes, I removed the complete interior and insulated it completely, carpet instead of rubber mat. Front diff rebuilt, new Injector harness last month, new headlights and I have an HID kit I have yet to install. I two toned it, so it looks better, new bunk heater 1 year ago, zantrax inverter charger, new fridge, other stuff I cant remember. I'd sell mine for this delivered anywhere in the US, and retire a couple years early.... This market is nuts.

You did a number on that one, sounds nice!
I am looking at 2016, 800,000mi for $54,000 DD16 deleted very nice! but will I have problems with the delete? I don't know.
The 2001 model I looked at with same miles is $47,000 with 12.7l. You got to believe there is alot wore on that 2001.
Whats the worst that can happen, replace emissions.

Replace emissions could run you 20k or more. That truck is not cheap enough for the risk.

A lot of trucks in US are permanently fixed. No issues as of now. Only place u can't go is Cali.
Now fixed Detroits if properly checked are money makers
