I've got a Kenworth tandem axle with a cummins in it that I've owned for 17 years and never put any money into the engine. Not a fan of these newer engines even with a delete. :(

LOL! Same here, sold my old 1997 Volvo with a Cummins, to my neighbor to haul his horses... Damn thing is still humming along, well over a million miles... Fuel, grease and oil, THATS IT! Wish I still owned it!

I could have bought ten of those trucks with what I have in this ProStar with repairs and tens of thousands, if not more, in lost revenue. I figured I have lost a year of work out of the three years I have owned this truck due to mandate issues.
