The journey begins - purchased a truck.

I have a 99 379, new motor 2 years ago this month, no check engine lights, no derates, no def.
No $5000 dealer bills for guessing what’s wrong.
You have to replace a few things that newer truck don’t wear out but no payments and lower insurance more than cover repairs, my truck has 1.7 million miles and is just as , if not more than a new one.
But you can’t buy a ragged out old truck and expect to run it hard and get ahead of repairs, you must find a good truck that has been cared for, the problem is one can not get financing on a 20 year old truck without a good banker.

 

Thank you Mr blue, I've been home since Dec 23rd. Just came back to work yesterday and I'm up late. But will be in touch. Btw I live in new England the opposite side of the country from you. I try to stay east of I-35 mostly run I-95, I-93 Boston all of ny, nj, philly, baltimore, dc richmond. Thats where the hospitals, conv centers,data center's and museums are. Most guys hate it but its what i call money country. Will be in touch by pm

 

Got lots of new parts today. Only took 7 months.

Thanks for answering my question. I was looking to see what your personal experience was, not so much of a how to do it. Glad the Peterbilt is working out for you. It is a great looking truck.
