Message:: [QUOTE="Rideandrepair, post: 12220765, member: 168603"]Why only 20k miles? That’s very suspect. It’s 7 yrs old. Even a local Truck would have at least 100k if only driven 60 miles per day 5 days a week. Doesn’t really matter. 20k or 200k, or more. Price and condition is all that matters. A Dealership can give you all the warranty info via vin #. Also original build date, and first In service date. 20k?  Maybe a little old lady bought it and only drove it to the grocery store, church once a week, and an occasional Dr.s appointment. Best to know what you’re getting. The 12.7 won’t disappoint. Very reliable. Less torque than some other engines that start with a C. But much less cost for maintenance, parts, labor, and rebuilding. Sounds like a great combination to me. The WS are good solid Trucks. Parts availability and prices for brand specific items are still a problem. For a local Truck, not a big deal. Offset by the condition of the vehicle and the 12.7. Word of caution. Who built the engine? Who put the glider together? Some are unique and not very reliable. Put together with a hodgepodge bunch of parts. It’s a real problem. Only the builder knows what parts were used. Fitzgerald built engines serial numbers are of no use to Detroit or the Dealerships. Do more research, try to figure out exactly what you’re getting. Sale price should be set accordingly.[/QUOTE]
