My trip to caledonia deisel didn't pan out.Truck was in good shape for the year, but the motor scared me. Had 14,000 hours on it. C15 cat. If it needs to be overhauled anytime soon my cat mechanic said 17,000 in parts alone!It had alittle presure building in the radiater. Could be head, head gasket, liners or air compresser! Dealer offers a 50-50 warrenty for 30 days. Wouldn't have done me any good. Wouldn't be working it till late may! And they have to do the work! 1300 miles in 2 days to check it out! They have alot of trucks but not many thats worth the asking price.

 People have no clue when looking at one of the newer cats the cost involved. Its 30K for an exchange C-15 with your accessories, I have 1 C-15, 3- C-12's and 1 C-10. You can buy 52 kentucky trucks for what your looking to spend, just rotate them out as DOT takes them off the road.  8)   Ive been looking for another local guy down here for a truck and the stuffs either junk or out of sight.

:D :D Kentucky trucks. Now that is funny. That is the way a lot of our local gravel haulers operate, they keep the inspectors employed..

There's a log trucking company in Newberry, Mi that's downsizing.  They've got several self-loaders and a couple tractors for sale.  They're on Craig's List.

I don't know how far you would travel, but there is a guy here selling a 2000 something western star self loader.

Would a Michigan truck be legal in Maine? If so there are lots of them for sale around these parts.

Kinda looking for one that hasn't been in the woods. 10-15 year old truck that spent most bof its life hauling 125-130,000 lbs is most likely used up. The old woods trucks up here are just that, old woods trucks. ;D

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your just jealous. Our trucks are cheaper down this way cause they don't come standard with a snow plow attachment.  :D
