How to inspect a Semi Truck for pre-purchase

some tips on minimal things to look at while inspecting a truck to buy

[@Cinchy2017]

Best thing to do is get a oil sample you can get a kit from cat or Polaris labs it takes about a couple of days to check it.It tells you everything about that engine.If the dealership won’t let you don’t buy it

That’s actually a real clean truck.

[@jel386]

Over filling the oil doesn’t give it more oil pressure but I’d be smelling it for diesel or coolant

[@Carstalgia]

Also should be a little tacky

Otw to look at 2 Freightliners 2016 and 2018 …..should I buy a 2016? Is that too old??

[@Carstalgia]

You're asking a guy who traded a 2016 for a 2002 lol. Will depend on the 1 box. If it's there, has it been maintained or replaced

[@ricksommers8732]

when u were underneath why didn't u check ur u-joints 2 c how tight they r

[@wilE6764]

I considered going to ots it's kinda close to NY where i am..People have to realize they are not selling them as perfect condition lol..I only haven't gone there bc of the outrageous increase in cost..also want a pre emissions truck..keep on truckin bro!

[@Carstalgia]

Definitely happy with my purchase, wish I could have done it before they doubled in price 😑

[@JeekoStraw]

Finally why was this video so far down the searches

[@Carstalgia]

Because I’m a small channel lol

[@akbarshoed]

Test drive is only bobtail, right?

[@Carstalgia]

Yes

[@drevilatwork]

If it's overdilled walk away? All rhe shops i did oil changes at in 8 years of trucking they ALL overfill the oil because they don't want the costumer to think that they try to cheat him. I specifically have to tell them not to pass half because i don't wanna blow a seal on a 1400 000 miles volvo d13 that dosen't burn any oil and it's easier for me to add oil than to drain some

[@andreychuprin7365]

I hope this helps someone, do not, do not even consider ohio truck sales!

[@pauliusmatiusovas4102]
