Hi,
After looking at several trucks over the past month, I bought my first truck. I bought the truck to haul gravel for the road I am building into my farm. I estimate that I need 120 loads of gravel for this project.
The truck appears to be in fairly nice shape, there are no visible leaks, it shifts really nice, it has just over 1000000 kms on it. This is a day cab truck converted to a gravel truck. The seller is going to have the truck re-safety'd on his dime and cover the cost of any needed repairs.
What are some f the first things I should do beside the obvious oil change, etc?
Malfunction / engine shut down

My 95 ch613 threw the coolant sensor code. I temporarily jumpered the sensor and the warnings went away. I got a new sensor from Mack and within a day, the warning was back. I got another paperclip and jumpered the sensor again and everything is fine.
I am thinking that since the sensor uses the conductivity of the antifreeze, and that since there was some scale on the sensor probes, the problem might be that the antifreeze needs the be changed.
What say the collective wisdom?
