OTHER ENGINES

[Brock]

I come from the auto salvage industry. We could tell you everything you needed to know about certain car brands by what age and what reason they were coming into our wrecking yard. ie. chev 2.4L with timing chain broke at 220km, ford 3.0L with blown head gasket at 300km

I use this same approach when buying heavy truck brands. I look at the used trucks. and I look every single day whether I'm buying or not.....

Detroit has more trucks under 500,000km with "New engine" listed in the writeup then any other engine, even cummins. It's a gamble like any other and you'll always hear conflicting stories. I work with 2 guys that both have dd15, ones never had a problem and the others almost bankrupt. Same story as this 871, guys see rawze doing good and assume they will too but the short is, the 871 is junk as well but at least with this engine we have a saving grace to helps us better understand the pile we drive.

Don't let trucker stories pick your truxk. like pulling a maintinamce history before buying at a dealership, look at truck histories in general because when people sell a truck that was rebuilt at 300 miles, I run!
