Man Daycabs are not as easy to find as they were a couple of years ago.
Anyway, here is another one I am considering?
2003 Kenworth W9000L
C-15 Cat Engine 475 HP, can be turned up to 550
13 Speed Transmission Number# 18913
390 Gear Ratio
210WB
Full Gauge Package
Has Dual Exhaust
Dual Breathers
8 Bag air suspension combined with leaf springs
Truck can be viewed at:

Mileage is 771875: Alot more than I was looking for, but I have not been able to find lower mileage without it costing 80 to 90k.
I have got the price down to 45,000, with a 2 year 200,000 mile warranty on the engine, and 1 year 100,000 on the trans and rears.
It was used I believe to haul tankers (gas) from what I could tell in the tool box was a gas hook-up for the tankers.
I was really surprised that it was as tight as it was, and not wore out with that many miles on it.
I will put about 60 to 80k miles a year on this Truck, and have a few questions for everyone:
1. Is the W9000L the top of the line Truck for Kenworth? Reason for this was another Trucker told me it was suppose to be the best?
2. The salesman said the engine was a million mile motor? What do you think?
3. What kind of rpms would I be turning in 13th gear?
4. What type of fuel mileage should I look for if I bought the Truck?
5. Would you buy it knowing the circumstances (Hauling Logs for a Living)
Any advice and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
That is what I like about this forum, in that people will tell you honestly what they see or think about items such as this.
