Just a heads up... That latest and greatest technology, is that $1000 to $1500 a month in maintenance that was mentioned above... If you want to gamble, go for it, I would look for some old iron and fix it once and be done with it, or go with a glider with an OEM reman. But that is just me... I could have at the very least two, if not three really nice Petes sitting in my driveway with all of the downtime, repairs and what not on my 2008 ProStar... I was out there today wrenching on it again today cleaning out the oil in the turbo lines... Second turbo since the $40,000 in frame, and I still have slobber and oil in the system... You want to see a mess, look at my tax returns. I would not wish one of these trucks on my worst enemy, or my ex wife, and I don't like her.

Oh, those Petes, they would be paid for, clear titles.
