    Mr. is right, you have to check which truck costs less to repair before buying something that costs are very expensive. Mr is right. please don't talk about blessings we are not in the rotten religion.

    All you folks on here saying what if it breaks down and you end up paying for for repairs and such then it's worth make me feel bad you and others. Who cares about all that if you.are going to keep the same truck for a pretty good while. And news flash, the more work done to a truck the value goes up. Bet some of y'all would pay 85,000 or more on a truck instead of taking time to build one yourself. You wanna know so of the reasons why trucks are throw away now? Because of that mentality of not fixing a truck up. Take pride in your ride drivers. No matter what it is. That's how you get the old school style of trucking back as well. And dude that made the post, you seem a little arrogant a bit. Don't let that bit you in your butt.

    I'm going to pray for you for whatever situation you are dealing with that would make you tell someone to not talk about their blessing or what they feel is one.

    Trucks reach the point of no return.Then you have no choice but to rid yourself of the headache and move on.

    2014 N13 Prostar owner here, 675k miles on the light free dash. These engines were built better than the previously branded junkforce. We have the Cummins ISX aftertreatment system (and its issues), since that's the system Navistar went with on all N13's since 2013.

    I also have a 2019 Cascadia DD15 and some days I'd rather be driving the Prostar if I'm being honest..

    I can tell you one thing; I have sold over 1500 trucks, and I have seen every engine type make it to a million miles. It's all about maintenance.
