That one is too long and gonna be too heavy .
What kinda cargo you planning on hauling ?
building a shower and camping toilet in the wheeler isn’t too hard if you have any Do it yourself handyman skills .
500 miles is the max on marketplace but it may show more than that once it runs out of stuff to show .
problem is that everyone puts a million keywords in the ad so you will get served up ads for lots of other brands of trucks .
I know of a small company in Atlanta that sells their W-900s when they get 500k miles or five years old .
Once the warranty expires and they gotta start paying for the repairs and the tax depreciation runs out so they gotta start paying income tax on the profit , they order a new one and sell
The one one .
If you’re not going to run California , I’d recommend getting a pre emission rig . That doesn’t have the DEF and EGR and all that crap .
Hell I’d get one with a mechanical injection engine with no computers at all .
Only thing with the no computer ones is not many had cruise control .
it will use more fuel and won’t make quite as much power but won’t have as much downtime because it doesn’t have a hundred sensors that can go bad and leave you sitting for days or weeks waiting on a replacementLast edited: Jul 7, 2023
W923 Thanks this. -
Lot of stuff in the Midwest too
but having it checked out before you buy is critical , unless you are a decent mechanic .
And remember , if they don’t have receipts , the work never happened .
They can say rebuilt engine all day but unless that have an actual paper receipt , it never happened.
And
You can call about the work , call the shop that supposedly rebuilt the engine and ask about it . They will have records for the warranty . -
3406 cat and 18 speed is the combo I’d want .
As mentioned , If the engine was actually rebuilt by a reputable shop , the seller and the shop will have papers on it .
And with any used truck, plan on. Spending at least $20k to get it road ready .
New virgin tires all around , new brake chambers and shoes and drums all around
Every rubber hose in the cooling system and every belt .maybe new radiator etc
it’s hard to tell in the ads which ones are the extended hood “L” model

Big question with a truck or car or anything is
How long have your owned it ?
WHY are you selling it ?
What’s wrong with it ?
What repairs are needed ?
