Mark T Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Have to check the hours on it too, besides the mileage.if it's over 20000 hours, that's not ideal. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75359-2001-vision/page/2/#findComment-573169 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMackTruck Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 On 4/3/2025 at 2:09 PM, Gump said: Which would you rather have to pull a flatbed with, a 2001 Vision 460 with Eaton 13 and 450k miles for $27,000, or 1998 CH613 gold dog with a 427 and 10 speed with 700k miles for $10,000? Assume both are in good operating condition. I would say, they are both very old trucks. Make sure they have maintenance logs to come along with that 27,000 asking price, that is really high especially for today's trucks, 450k is alot of miles, if it has been neglected. At the same time 10,000 can turn into 27,000 really quickly, whichever one is going to be more reliable would be my advice. If there is no service history for the e tech and the 10,000 dollar truck looks like a real turd keep searching, the truck market is on fire right now, tons of trucks to go around, make a good decision because profitability is difficult right now. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75359-2001-vision/page/2/#findComment-573270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 I’ll say it is very difficult to find used trucks for sale with an extensive service history. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75359-2001-vision/page/2/#findComment-573272 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 What can you decode from this vin 1M1AA18YXWW084965 My plan B if the 2001 doesn’t work out. Just waiting on the inspection report and a decision will be made from there. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75359-2001-vision/page/2/#findComment-573349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Heinz Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) It's a 1998 CH613. E7-427 VMAC II (mechanical injection pump w/ econovance) and Jacobs 680B engine brake, T2180 18spd Mack transmission, and Eaton S404 rears 4.11R. Has air ride rear suspension, and a section in Impact for a "NAMEPLATE, CUSTOM BUILD." Seems someone ordered it special?

Popular Post Mark T Posted April 10 Popular Post Share Posted April 10 That 18 could get expensive quick if it needs a syncronizer, and good luck if something happens to go wrong with the econovance. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75359-2001-vision/page/2/#findComment-573378 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 Just waiting on the inspection to get done… waiting and waiting… I don’t want to fly 1500 miles to find something wrong with it. If everything comes back clean then I can hand them a check, hop in and drive away. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75359-2001-vision/page/2/#findComment-573425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted Tuesday at 07:41 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 07:41 PM Waiting on the report from the inspection which was done Friday. Sounds like it may be all for nothing though because they won’t go any lower than $27,000. Being as they bought it at auction for $9500 and just took the stickers off I’m not too keen on paying that much. Unless they report the sleeper is filled with gold coins I’ll be moving on to option B or C. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75359-2001-vision/page/2/#findComment-573758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted Wednesday at 02:40 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 02:40 PM I got the inspection report back. If anybody is interested in going through it I can PM you the link. Everything looks good and in order. There were a couple of inactive codes, mainly for ABS.

If it’s meant to be they’ll come down a little.

Joseph Cummings Posted yesterday at 12:30 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:30 AM I wouldn't put too much faith in a 3rd party inspection unless it was someone I knew personally and was confident about their skills. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75359-2001-vision/page/2/#findComment-573833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
