    50k for that? I can buy something older and more reliable for half the price. As saddletramp said more truck less money. The emissions engines like the ISX, Acert, and DD series engines are worthless. I don't trust them at all. You can get a T2 with an 525 redtop for less than 23. Might not be pretty but paint and chrome don't get you home. Pretty lights don't either and yes I realize that's a hypocritical statement but at least people can see me at night hehe. I wouldn't want to dump that kind of money into a truck that's got that many miles on an EPA motor. The ISX has had it's problems right along with the rest of them. I would also suggest searching around for how much it costs to replace some of the more problem parts like the head gaskets and the EGR. There was a thread from a while ago. Think it was by Vision Logistics but can't remember for sure. Lost a head gasket and I believe $6800 later he managed to get out of the shop. That was on an ISX, I've heard not experienced but heard when it comes to the ISX you're better off buying a recon motor than overhauling them. If you're a cummins man go with the old red top. I'm not a cummins man I prefer my cat's but an old N14 will still run with a 3406...till you hit the hill. lol

    Well I think what are you going to be doing with it? Those extra saddletanks are not necessary, they will only weight you down, the sleeper is huge, going to be running triple drivers? You are getting a lot of truck, but also what was it used for? With those tanks it was running light in the weight of the loads! I would continue to look around. Just my 2 Cents!. Drive Safe Driver.
