Mike:

I am flattered you want my opinion; its worth exactly what you are paying for it!

I am not real familiar with Cummins engines of that vintage. Is that a mechanical engine; probably is. Do the normal stuff; check maintenance records, rebuilts, etc. EF ten speed is a nice trans. Just check the overall condition of the rig to see if it was taken care of or just sat and abused.

Can you get some pics?

However, sounds like you are onto something which sounds good.

Cummins has really gained some market share in the HD engine arena with Cat going out of the road business a few years ago. Their new engines, the ISX series, get good reviews and opiions.

I'll do some research.

Keep us posted.
