Looking to pickup a new to us tandem and came across an Alberta truck that's made it to Ontario.
It's a 96 western star tandem with a 475 hp Cat 3406e, 15spd eaton, 46k rears, 12k front, single wall frame and a 16.5ft box.
On paper this would work nicely for me. Would be legal for 15-16 tons, and should have lots of power to tow a float.
Engine has just under 1.3 million kms, but claims to have been inframed and rear end work at just under a million, by the previous owner.
Seller is asking 16k CAD (11.5k USD)
Anyone got any insight on this? Are there any specific things to look for on this engine/trans?
