    I think you did well. Hard to find any Truck that’s decent for that price. As far as repairs and maintenance, that’s any Truck. Motor and driveline work is inevitable if kept long enough. As long as you plan on keeping it 4-5 yrs or more, it will all average out. Looks as good as any of the new ones.
     
    Judge and Siinman Thank this.

    I carry a little bit of air hose on each kind and a whole bunch of connections. Added more to the collection when my trailer lines broke when I ran over that tire. Luckily that stuff is pretty cheap compared to a lot of stuff and pretty easy and fast to dr up. Looks like you got it good enough to get you to where you need to go and then some.
     
    Judge Thanks this.

    Just changed a sensor, Doc/dpf temperature sensor, got that otr performance and it showed exhaust temp at only 350 degrees.
    $365at peterbilt for sensor and it’s now near 1095-1100 and parked regen cleared soot level down.
    I ran it 800 miles last week on local runs.
    Tomorrow it’s going to Kansas, we’ll see then.
