There is a 1995 Peterbilt 379exhd sitting at our local used truck dealer ship that I have been looking at. It has a 3406E Cat 435HP, 10spd, 48" flat top, 692,000mi showing, and it has a wet line system which I will need. The dealer is asking $19,500

I'd say it priced fair. Of course, without a test drive or picture, my .02 goes so far.

Have not had a chance to drive it yet. Will probably do that today. Truck looks near about brand new the color of it is a dark green.

Well according to the dealer it has always been used to pull dumps locally so it might be true but I don't belive anything a salesman says.

I know a guy that has a 1998 Freightliner with only 286,000. Low mileage is rare, but possible.

[Dejanh]

I also know a guy who can roll the milage back :!: , there are tests available to figure out exact milage, they pin point the milage in about 10,000 difference maybe..

“The mileage should be available by hooking the computer to the engine…the engine won’t lie. Give someone a new odometer, a drill, and a few hours on their hands and they’ll make it show as many (or as few) miles as they want.



When was the last time it was inframed / out-of-framed (and can they prove it)? How about aluminum wheels, dual exhaust, air cleaners, air ride or springs? Jake Brake? Need to know these things….can be the difference between a $19,500 truck and a $11,500 truck.”

sorry for the interuption, but what does inframe and outframe mean.

[DoneDeal]

Inframe engine rebuild - cylinders, injectors, rod & main bearings are all replaced along with relevant seals, etc etc etc.

Out of frame rebuild - in addition to the above, the engine is removed from the frame of the tractor and the crankshaft is replaced as well.
