<p>[QUOTE="D.Tibbitt, post: 8821867, member: 114099"]Yes those engines will keep running as long as they are taken care of and u keep rebuilding them . u have to rebuild them when its time but those engines are made to last . not like engines of today that are destroyed because of the emissions ####. That is going to be the source of alot of your problems on a new truck will be emissions related, which means very high repair bills because none of that stuff is cheap. And with a new truck u may have a problem that nobody knows how to fix. With a old truck everybody and there momma can work on a cummins or series 60 .. The only problem with an old truck is you will spend alot of time replacing all the other parts , suspension , drivetrain, etc. U should do some reasearch to figure out what u want to do , there is alot of threads on here that will help give u some realistic numbers on wat to expect from a new truck vs a old truck and some numbers that will help u make the decision if becoming an owner op is wat u wanna do[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
