So I ended up passing on the truck. I’ve been looking at TruckPaper non stop trying to find some other ones that fit what I’m looking for, issue is everything in my price range has high miles. I’m hoping to find something soon
-
There’s not much local to me that isn’t completely destroyed or asking so much for clapped out junk. I’ll travel if it’s worth it you know, but if it’s not worth it I wont. I guess I should look for a few more trucks to have a backup plan
-
I haven’t went to look at the truck, it’s about 10 hours away from me. I need to gather as much as I can before I go to look at it.

How can I tell if this is happening? The truck I’m looking at is from the rust belt, although the frame has very little rust on it. Just want to make sure it won’t be an issue
-
I’m waiting to get the hours, I don’t know the history but it does appear that it was well taken care of. I was talking to someone locally and they said to watch out for the frame separating? Not sure what he meant?

How reliable are the older trucks with higher mileage though? I was talking with the dispatcher for one of the local asphalt company’s and he said they don’t have age limits on trucks but don’t want you to be breaking down with a load of hot mix in the bed. That statement has me a bit worried with the amount of miles I know anything is questionable
-
That’s for sure! It’s a 2 owner truck. Looks to be in good shape for its age, I do know it’s 20 years old, and has almost half a mil on it. And it’s been used to haul asphalt it’s whole life, but for me to just start out in the industry I think it’ll work alright, miles do scare me a bit though

How hard is it to get parts for trucks that are over 20 years old now? I’m looking at buying a 99 rd688 dump truck amd want to make sure when I need to get parts it’s something I’ll be able to get. the other question I have is what is the lodge expectancy of a 99 with a e7? One I’m looking at has a little over 450K miles on it thanks
