Used trucks with accident reports.

Broken tie rod, broken suspension or any number of things, or even a broken air line or the driver was injured and they towed it to get it off the road.

 

As with any other truck you are looking at buying - at least this one gives you a heads up. Does it give any more detail about the nature of the "accident" ? Either way, it pays to have a mechanic you trust (NOT THE SELLER'S MECHANIC) go over it with a fine toothed comb. I think it was MNdriver had a thread about a truck he was considering buying, and found small cracks in the frame - hard to see but when you look close enough that could turn into a huge repair bill.

 

Not if they were properly repaired. We just had our truck get in an accident and it bent the front axle.... 3 days later it was back on the road and is running fine. It had to be towed to the shop.

 

He found them after he bought it and I believe replaced the whole frame rail.

 

I recommend pull the vin number at rig dig.com,is just the same as car fax,rig dig for big rig.

 

Pulling it out,is one step,u have see it yourself,drive it,feel it...
