Can anyone help me out? I'm looking at used trucks and I have a question. Is 1 million miles on a DD13 in a straight truck a lot of miles? I found a 2015 for $15,000 that's in super shape but it has 1 million miles on it. I think they put them in Tractors and they pull a lot of weight. and straight trucks don't haul have the weight semi's do. I guess what I'm asking is would you guys trust a truck with million miles on it to start hauling full time? Thanks guys.

Has this engine had an inframe? Can you describe the amount of blow-by that comes out of it when hot? Generally speaking, an engine that makes it to a million is getting pretty close to inframe time if it hasn't been done already.
