I have been looking at tandem dump trucks as we expand from landscaping into excavating. I found a clean 57k gvwr truck with a 444 and a 13 speed in it. The chassis has 580k on it, motor had an in frame at 490k. Cab, dump body and frame are in great shape.
I read very hit or miss things on these motors but the local shop said that they are pretty reliable when maintained properly. However, they told me that parts are becoming harder to find. Anybody else have any experience with having difficulty finding parts?
I'd absolutely love to have a truck with some power. I drove a single axle with a c10 and 8LL and would love that kind of power in a tandem!
