Would you buy a…

Can answer that off the information here, so maybe I would if it was say from Valley Bulk, but not so much from Apex. Also depends on alot of other things like PTO hours, mine work or highway work. Just so many varibles.
Really just depends. Maybe it did not power off the loads, maybe it was all grativty feed unloading.I spen t lots of years hauling around tankers and it just depends, At Valley bulk I hauled a lot of drill fluids which by the way were not fluid but power, and I bottom dumped most loads on the ground, but they I also had loads that went into silos which were power unload some with long push's which were very hard on the equipment. So whthout knowing the company and the customers serviced it is anybodys quess.

 

By the way 50% is considered normal in the bulk industry.

 

Thats a lot of truck for 15k i think your a liitle lite but what does a driver know.

 

I believe @Arctic_fox has some kind words about buying used Paccar's

 

Reach out to @Lysdexis hes got a couple paccar engines

 

FWIW, both, my current and previous employers stopped buying red and everything is MX13, now.

Every powertrain has its issues. You’re just not going to get around them, anymore.

Most here have such unreasonable expectations, which can never be met. Whether the truck is new or used, they always dream up some kind of negativity. If you’re comfortable with it, buy it.

 

My buddy has a mechanic that praises the newer Paccars. Not sure where his cutoff is though. Probably 2018 or newer as stated previously.

@Arctic_fox LOVES Paccar!!!

 

If by love and kind words you mean my opinion on them is about as kind as the average demons is about angles....then yes!. Im sure that somewhere exists a good MX13, but im also sure that somewhere out there is the secret to eternal life. Im more likely to discover the latter.

 

OA is cheap enough when you PM it before going to work, but your buying a truck that needs a motor rebuild when it comes down to it

 

Looks like a nice Truck. Worth putting money into if needed. They all need everything eventually.
