    I miss that truck. I wish I had a 99 T600 with a 3406E. Or W900 or T800. I just like KW's so much better and I liked the mirrors on it. They stayed clean. Great trucks. Maybe one day I'll get another one.

    You won't know how heavy until you scale it. It doesn't look so heavy with a 72"sleeper but that frame is stretched so adds some marginal weight I would imagine. With that Detroit versus a CAT motor is already some big weight savings. Mine had a bridge CAT motor in it but I could scale 46,000 lbs pulling a "heavy" great dane reefer and 47,000 lbs pulling a Great Dane dry van. In my current Freightliner I can scale 47,500 pulling that sane reefer trailer lol. Those fairings look odd. I'd take that BS off of it especially since you pull a flat.

    Depends, next few months go well and its well maintained n running, probably between 25-45 is reasonable, significant problems, still probably 15-20k (from me, im not who you responded to, but t800/ t600 only for me) too many variables to definitively say without knowing more

    Not trying to be a smart alleck but whatever someone is willing to pay and as you know it's not currently a buyer's market. One that's been kept up in good shape is going to command a premium because they're desirable trucks. And no matter how much most of the drivers on this forum tell you they love their e-log they're liars haha!

    Its priced at a premium but he doesnt care if it sells. I asked if he would sell and he gave me a price. I just have to decide if i want to pay it. I dont see prices going down much. If they go down then there is going to be big problems. Look at all the houses that have been sold for double or more than what they were worth. Most everyone has never seen the carnage that will happen if the bottom falls out. These last “recessions” are nothing.
