Hi guys I have some questions about a truck and trailer im looking at to haul tractors and equipment. The truck is a 1992 IH 8100 it has a DT466 motor and 6 speed tranny 290,000 miles, 10 foot flatbed with rack and toolbox. Are these trucks and motors any good? How long will the motor last? Any weak spots in them?
Trailer
2000 Bellshe? trailer tandem dual 32+5 30,000 gvw
brakes need work and couple tires replaced but otherwise ready to go. What is a good price for this truck and trailer? Thanks for any help.
Matt

Make sure the truck has air brakes. Have seen trucks that size w/o air brakes and hydraulic brakes jsut dont have the stopping force of air and a leak on hydraulic brakes w/a truck that size and expensive machinerY????? air brake air leak can get home and still stop (unless hugly catastrophic). Wont win any races with taht motor but will do ok. 6-7 mpg. would be a pretty close guess. As for value??? Trailer not much brand new trailer like that 6500-8000 depending on features.

I used to work at a Navistar dealer and those trucks are good and that's a very good engine. As far as miles ???? The liners pitted on alot of them and needed replaced before they wore out. You really need to keep an eye on the coolant DCA levels.

With today's fuel prices and DOT rules I wouldn't even consider trying to make a living on the road.
