Prostar and Volvo

[GAguy912]

Well thank you both for you insight on these trucks. It’s obviously not going to be the best truck out I would much rather have something with a 12.7 Detroit ( these trucks r getting very $$$ ) in it but for the price it’s worth at least taking a look at it and see if I can get it even cheaper than what he is asking. Now could it be possible to put another 200,000 on that prostar with running the overhead and should an egr delete be done? In your years of experience what would be the top few things to perform maintenance on and or replace if I purchase the truck?
Would you recommend taking it to a local dealer and having them put the computer on it?

Also the Volvo had me at the price and the amount that’s out on the road. It seems as if in the next few years maybe the parts, knowledge and software will be available to be able work on these trucks in your back yard. I’ve seen some used Volvo’s trucks go for 25-40 grand and still have 150,000-200,000 mile warranty (600,000 miles warranty) left on them. Sometimes I wonder if this would be a way to go also.

What grabbed my attention with the prostar is the year because it’s before the DEF system, body condition, interior and price. This is a very clean truck and it was moving furniture nothing heavy. Than the information that I’ve seen on here a few years ago.
