    The records on the truck is what I was saying not who drove it where... LOL I don't care where it was driven or by who, what is the maintenance on it? Has it had a rods and mains done to it? what about the top end?

    I know exactly what records you are talking about. The dealer is compiling that all for me now.

    Including the DDEC print out as well as a full dyno run up

    Nice, is he going to put in a file that can be transferred by computer, If so if you want me to look at it let me know(I can send you my email address), I am a certified ASE Diesel mechanic and can read all those reading and kind of tell you what I think, If you want me to, I can do it, I just don't want you to be taken advantage of. Let me know Bro.

    Thanx, likely to get them as a pdf file.

    I ran ste-ice R in the army. Fixed everything tracked and wheeled both organization and direct support in a mech infantry unit.

    A lot of this isn't new to me. Not that I won't take up such a generous offer.

    Told the sales guy the bank won't consider financing with out the ddec and dyno along with manufacturer's records along with any other maintenance stuff they can find.

    How is 707k miles on an 07 engine high. That's 120k (approx) a year.

    If anything, those miles are low.

    You know what? I may have this truck confused with another truck on here someplace, 120K a year isn't to bad, I apologize for that. Let me know if you want me to look at those reports, 2 sets of eyes are better then 1... Thanks.

    That looks pretty good. For comparison, I bought the truck I have now in April. It's a 2007 and had 667,000 miles when I got.it. its a Volvo 780, and I paid $41,000 for it. I got a 3 year 300k warranty with it. So far I'm really happy with it. The mileage on that one looks pretty average.
