T680 with Paccar owe 500k miles

Are you out of stuff to fix on your current ride? How much is it worth as a trade or outright sale?

Did you inframe the engine,?

 

Beelmans in Sauget are selling their fleet 2013 Peterbilts with sleeper cabs and ISX engines at miles around 150-490K. Prices seemed pretty good. The lot is right off of I255 in Sauget, Illinois.

They provide all maint records as well. I wanted to get one but was a bit too rich for me. Take a look.

Wow, $90k in 2 years. I would be trying to recoup some of that. Unlikely to see it on a sale

 

Might want to use the search here or google. They seem to do good till about 400-500k. Where I'm leased they have six with the paccar every time they hit the yard they go into the shop for something. One has been parked for two months because nobody can figure out what's wrong with it. Loaded light it does fine,but heavy it pushes all the coolant out in 200 miles.

 

90K. WOW. You can completely rebuild a truck ground up for less money. You just made me feel good bout my 99 Pete.

O/H. $7000
New Front Axle $4500
Clutch $1200
Minor engine repairs $2000
ECM $1000
Z-Leaf springs $1200
Other minor repairs over time $3000

$19,900 if I did math right in my head in 10 years

None of this includes brakes, tires, Etc with normal wear

I forgot about a radiator, AC condenser and two CAC's $4000

So $23900

 

Might have a crack someplace that opens when the truck is up to temperature and has to strain more when developing more HP. Naked eye may not be able to detect the opening while sitting still. Steam clean and dry the engine. Shoot the outside of the engine compartment with baby powder and let the powder settle as much as possible. Drive the truck loaded then stop and inspect once the leak develops. Might be able to narrow down where the leak originates then fix the coolant problem.

Good luck.
