I may have heard tell, somewhere, that in these parts, diesels where certain parts fell off sell for about $5K more than stock diesels. They said. Who knows?
The new emissions systems work ok as long as the truck is frequently used under heavy load. Idle a lot, pussy foot around a lot and the system will load up with soot and crap out. Drive it like you stole it. Our new Kenworth actually has a smaller motor in it than we would have liked because the smaller motor increases average engine load and that decreases expected down time.
