Help - Need Advice On This Rig - Might Buy

What's the "E" o the end mean?

That year is an "e" engine. The e is for electronic. It is the next step after the mechanical. I think it was before all the emissions control stuff too.
Once they stuck all the emissions stuff on they were called dtmaxx I think. No bueno. Expensive to maintain and even more to fix.

Good to know. Thanks - will verify as well.

The "E" on any diesel indicates "Expensive". Actually, it indicates electronically controlled. Lots of sensors and computer stuff that routinely goes out...makes diagnosis very complicated (unless you are an electronics wiz with all the right equipment) and costs a small fortune to replace.

There are one or two folks here who can pretty much sort them out, but even the factory techs are often driven mad by that "E".

All mechanical engines are WAY simpler to live with.

A very good buy. Just turn it if you don't like and have more Skoolie Bucks.
