Hard to tell. The engine would have 35,000 left on the warranty assuming it is a two year You will have to pay something to have that transferred. Additionally, you don't mention the total vehicle milage. Remember, everything else has that higher milage on it.
If everything else looks good, go have it dynoed and fluid samples taken.
Then I would say the price isn't too bad.

I wasn't referring to anything leaking per se. I would have a oil, coolant, and tranny fluid sent to a lab. That way you know what it is doing internally. Money well spent if the warranty has ran out.

after 5 years trucks start to nickle and dime you,drive train is just the beginning.

Not true about the nickel and dime.Its all about how it was taken care of and maintained.I bought a 2000 Freightliner but the previous owner maintained it very well.I have a complete folder with mileage,who repaired it and what was done.This was done since it was almost new (50,000 miles).The only thing i had to do since i bought it was frot shoes mine had some stress cracks that i didnt like so i replaced and then i just put a new Air dryer on.So in a year i put $500 in parts.Not including the normal oil,fuel and air filter stuff.And it has 588,000 miles.
