    Get an oil sample and dyno and go from there both made by paccar both cummins would have to check them both out in person looking for leaks,body damage,road test,etc

    I'd get the 2011 387....but there all still going to hit that point for huge $$$ repairs with the emissions. I have an 08 Volvo with an isx.....cost me a fortune and then some in repairs and maintenance to keep running.
     
    Golga Thanks this.

    The 11 is the cheapest and the least miles.

    Personally, I would not buy either. I would not buy an ultrashift or DEF truck. The maintenance will kill you. But, given the two choices, I would go for the less expensive truck with the lower miles.

    For that amount of money buy an used Schneider glider, unless u go to Cali. If you do go to Cali buy 2013-2014, less emission problems than 2010-2011
