hello
well 1st i understand the " it all depends on how it has been taken care of"
i am looking for some feed back from people who have owned one of these engines and took care of them ie regulaer oil changes and maintenance, drives or drove it with the intentions of getting every bit of life out of it ( not the drive it like you stole it crowd)
the reason for this post.
i am looking at buying the truck i have been driving for the last 180,000 miles, in that time it has had no major engine problems. has had oil and oil filters changed every 15k miles religiously air filter changed every 30k. fuel filter every 30k. oil analyzed every 30k with excellent readings.
the average load weight is around 2k. it has 580k miles on the engine. with a allison 3000 hs 5 speed. i use both eco. and performance settings, average 65 mph (even in the 70 mph speed zones)
i understand everyone has an opinion but i would really like the " yeah i owned one and" type replies.
thanks for reading the post and looking forward to the helpful replies.
