Advice at 1 Million Miles 02/26/19 First post. Thanks for having me in. The Truck: Single Owner - 2013 Kenworth T660 ISX15 - 1.14 million miles - never rebuilt History: - Pretty Easy (almost all long haul, 20K average) - Not much snow. Rust hasn't been a big issue so far. Last Overhead Adjustment (Cummins) approx 300K ago, -- at the time mechanics said internals looked "really good" -- they thought I'd only need top end, when needed Oil usage - on new oil, maybe a gallon over the first 5 thousand. -- I use 1 gallon of Delvac after oil change, then Lucas next gallon, then back to Delvac -- didn't use Lucas at all prior to 800,000 Oil Analysis - last one maybe 100K ago, but it looked good. -- I'd get it more often but it seems the dang Speedco machine is always broken Currently in shop for: Replacing remanufactured DPF with another remanufactured DPF - got 266,000 miles on the old one Not in shop for, but have: Leaking oil at gear housing -- (not badly, but there's a definite leak) Leaking oil at flywheel housing -- (not badly, but there's a definite leak) Questions: 1) What can I do to determine if a rebuild is needed now? She's running fine, but I worry about breaking down somewhere and not being able to get into the shop of my choice. 2) Any thoughts on a truck with this many miles? I realize rebuild is not my only option. I think it's the my best choice (truck is paid for), but should I be considering something else? Thanks. | |||
