2000 613 460 18 speed pre purchase question

[ghmallard]

Any opinions more much appreciated 

im looking at a 2000 613 with 460 18 speed 860,000 miles original motor. Never been touched.  Truck been one owner since new. Truck is tight to be 2000 model. No oil usage and no blowby. Well maintained considering truck was worked. Question- what could one expect to get out of truck before in frame or overhaul?

in general, that truck is rock solid.  of course no one really knows how long it will live.. If the maintainence is as good as you say, then just 'run-it' send the oil out for analysis. keep good filters on it, change the oil more often, replace the coolant if it old, replace the thermostat, check valve adjustment. as far as what you would get out of the truck, did you mean ; miles/use?  re-sale price?  jojo

Just meaning could it lil longer. I have 2 of those now with way less miles.

I am building one now that had 1.2 M on it,  it was a running engine, but it was 'Time'  I have seen abused E-Techs with near 1M on them, still running..  but 'Crystal ball's" are on back order right now, so,  use youre best judgement....  how much is the truck?  jojo

Should be an easy million mile truck. 

[ghmallard]

15k its a deal i think 

[Joey Mack]

hell yeah,  I bet I can build that engine for that much or less if you go all PAI, parts..
