It's a good truck for a new owner operator. I remember my first truck was a 1989 Volvo GMC W164T. It had a 350 Cummings and a 9 speed Eaton Fuller. I paid $22,000 for this truck in 1996, at the LJL Truck Center, in Jacksonville FL. The rest is history. Since then I have owned many other trucks and trailers.

You have to check check the check and check again

How's your experience with DD15 till now

Thanks for actually explaining what you’re looking for here.

is there a way to take out the fridge and put in a diffrent one

Great job

First u should do is check if it has a def tank 😭

Drive tires are 2/30 sec not 4/30 sec

He picked one of the cleanest cummins motors possible.

I like to see how the truck looks in my driveway

Thank you for making this. Just bought a school bus to make a skoolie so our family can travel the country.

10/32 I thought it was no more than 4/32

I'm not mistaken I saw quite a bit of smoke coming out of that blow by test

Your about to get a lot of views with the new blitz

I worked with Mr. Romero's dad for 26 years. I've also known Mr. Romero since he became a deputy sheriff. Randy's humbleness, integrity and servitude will ensure you have a great truck buying experience. His statement of wanting to see you in a truck making money is heart felt. His upbringing and demonstration of positive, strong characteristics is refreshing. Sgt Robert Hitchcock (Retired)

Avoid anything with new tires and fresh paint... read between the lines, your alignment is out and frame is bent, and rust is going to take over. Also, check blowby and feel how tight it is, agree on a price and put $200 non-refundable down and send oil sample to CAT lab ($15) and wait... you don't buy a house without an inspection so don't be an idiot again. That is the best $200 you will ever hand someone. Also check if there are maintenance records... that can sometimes be instructive, avoid all DEF Internationals and DEF engines in general if you can. Codes can be erased temporarily or pieces disconnected... do not trust. Get YOUR KNOWLEDGABLE and trustworthy mechanic to look it over. Also, 100% of the time, if one area was not maintained (eg it has a new engine), then nothing else was either. run away, those are bankruptcy traps. Good luck.

Lost me with paccar

What are the most common problems with Used Freightliner? When buying a used Freightliner what are the vital things to check or look for?

Impressive knowledge.

better of buying a truck for 20k and just do a rebuilt all over.

Where’s josh bloss

Why retread, toss them get new ones. For me i need that assurance for safety.

Can’t wait to buy another truck💪🏽

I been at Volvo dealer every 2 weeks for 24 hours. Only 200,000 miles. Different issues. Fuel pressure control switch, box number 1 bad( ck engine light came on) ,APU problem once a month. You earn the 8mp gallon. Like Volvo trucks but they go to the dealership often. Down time even though warranty covers.

Pac car motor ,, junk

If you dont mind what are the name tools your using to check the tires?

Thanks AM! Some of this info is useful to us two and four-wheelers also! Question: On buses(45' or longer) and trucks on ten or more wheels - is it a hard & fast rule to keep the cold tire pressures at the maximum listed on the sidewall of its tires? Or is it ok to run 5-10psi below, provided you check them before and after each haul?

Depends on how many miles are on the truck.Buy and take to the mechanic and tell him you want a engine rebuild.That way you can get a new engine to last a quite a bit longer, and hopefully everything is good

Currently studying for my CDL, I’m still in the studying phase but can any seasoned drivers confirmed what he mentioned? As well as hit on anything he may have missed for me?

Check.check.check

Noting we can do will substitute PRE- PURCHASE INSPECTION. It helps to do this important checks and obviously to filter the good from the bad. However, at the end we must do pre purchase inspection with a professional shop.

Check under the truck for signs of leaks as a final after test drive.

Uhh , thanks.

If the truck has a smog motor or def tank/reservoir walk then run away.

Air brake diagnosis and repair

Check check checking check check checking check 🤔

please any semi truck mechanic that can help us purchase a used truck in Chicago or north Carolina please email us at [email protected]

i cant beleive no one liked this. I love trucks. BUT.....its a daycab tho

You can do all those inspections and still wind up with a lemon, It's a real crap shoot when buying a truck. You just have to be lucky to get a good one. You can prevented from buying a potential bad truck. but sooner or later.. you MONEY GODS will get your money.

How many times he say “check” haaa I lost count at 30. FYI inspect sounds better n more intelligent.

Thank you, very helpfull
