Ok guy! I'm in the middle of upgrading from a class 7 truck to a class 8.
I'm looking at buying a 89 Freightliner cab over non-sleeper, that has been stretched a ton!
I'm waiting to get the VIN's on the 2 trucks he has left from his build of 7 to get a build sheet from Freightliner on them to see that there original build was. The sales guy thinks that they have cummins 315's in them.
I'm being told that they have 527K and 463K. They have passed inspection reports for the frame extensions that were completed by Bert's tuck from Moorhead, MN(double framed from behind cab and back, with new drive lines). Engines run out excellent for one and second unit was a little rougher according to a mechanic that did do an evaluation on them, possibly due to excess idle time which we do a several times per year to keep them operational. He also said that the one unit did have repairs done to the "shifter tower", some welding.
One the engine run out what do they mean?
Is there anything that I need to look at as big wear and tear items?
Anything that I need to really inspect prior to buying?
Also anyone know of anyone selling a cab over stretched to hold a 30' box?
