I sometimes use a CitiBank Master card that gives 5% back on fuel purchases,both diesel and gasoline,3% on supermarket/drugstore purchases and 1% on everything else. I am picky about where to buy fuel as Flying J will charge you more then the cash price. The merchants do not have to enter any...

Big question is what engine does the FL 70 have in it. The Cat 3126 has a lot of horror stories at about 300-400 K on it. Also how well was the truck maintained and I would advise a oil analysis that you can get at Speedo stops for about $15.00 Another questiuon is when the truck is 5 years old...
