Truck questions

Good info and thanks. I'm leaning to the binder with an ISM 410 and a 10 speed. When I eyeball it my mechanic will be with me to see nothing gets passed up. Seller has agreed to fix whatever we find wrong....and of course that has limits.......

And no....No Cats, it's hard to believe today's Cat is even related to the work horses of yesterday. I can't afford Cat problems and you can't eat prestige.....

Thanks guys, I'll check back when I have more.

 

Volvo is already off the list. This is a L/P deal so I have to buy what they sell if I want it. They do have some binders with Cummins and a couple of C-12's. I'm passing on the C-12's unless one comes up with Cat paperwork on a rebuild. I just don't want the problems my C-15 buddies have.

The Volvos have all had new front ends under them at 600k....I doubt they found the cause and prolly just replaced the parts hoping they got it so...no Volvo. The freightliners have Mercedes....not Detroit's so that's out. Now some swear by 'em but I've seen too many slobbering oil and having many other problems. It's a throw away fleet motor so...naw.

Thanks for the feedback.....
